A system is provided with one or more processors configured to receive inputs associated with a plurality of components of an organizational structure. For instance, the inputs may include an identifier, a first classification, and a second classification for each of the plurality of components. Based on the inputs, the one or more processors may determine relationships between the plurality of components within the organizational structure. The one or more processors may then generate a visualization with a plurality of graphic elements corresponding to the plurality of components, wherein the plurality of graphic elements are arranged based on the relationships between the plurality of components, and wherein the visualization includes one or more indications of the relationships between the plurality of components within the organizational structure.

The present invention provides a method for arranging dimples on a golf ball surface in which the dimples are arranged in a pattern derived from at least one irregular domain generated from a regular or non-regular polyhedron. The method includes choosing control points of a polyhedron, generating an irregular domain based on those control points, packing the irregular domain with dimples, and tessellating the irregular domain to cover the surface of the golf ball. The control points include the center of a polyhedral face, a vertex of the polyhedron, a midpoint or other point on an edge of the polyhedron and others. The method ensures that the symmetry of the underlying polyhedron is preserved while minimizing or eliminating great circles due to parting lines.

The present invention is directed to golf balls having improved aerodynamic performance due, at least in part, to the selection of the plan shapes of the dimples thereon. In particular, the present invention is directed to a golf ball that includes at least a portion of its dimples having a plan shape defined by a periodic triangle wave function mapped along a circular closed path. In addition, the present invention provides methods for designing dimples having a plan shape defined by a periodic triangle wave function mapped along a circular closed path.

In a golf ball having a two-layer core consisting of an inner core layer and an outer core layer, one or more intermediate layer, and a cover serving as an outermost layer, the inner core layer and outer core layer are each formed primarily of a base rubber, the inner core layer has a diameter of at least 19 mm, the intermediate layer and the cover are each formed primarily of a resin material, and the overall core has a specific hardness profile. The golf ball has a high initial velocity while holding down the spin rate on full shots with a driver or long iron, thus enabling a good distance to be achieved. The ball also has a high controllability in the short game.

Golf balls including at least one modified dimple group are disclosed. The modified dimple group comprises one or more modified dimples forming an axially symmetric pattern about a Correction Area Centroid located on an axis of symmetry at a latitude greater than 0, where 0 represents the hemispherical pole and 90 represents the equator. The modified dimples can be altered, for example, by changing dimple coverage, dimple diameter, dimple depth, dimple edge angle, dimple volume, dimple cross-sectional shape, and/or dimple plan shape. Optionally, the dimples have a catenary cross-sectional shape and the modified dimples are altered by changing the shape factor and/or chord depth. Such modifications preferably produce a golf ball that flies more consistently regardless of orientation when struck than a corresponding golf ball without such modifications.

A golf ball dimple pattern based on a square dipyramid, i.e., two square pyramids connected base-to-base, is disclosed. The dimples are arranged within four substantially identical triangular sections on each of two substantially identical hemispheres of the ball.

A golf ball of the present invention includes a core and a cover located outside the core and having a plurality of dimples on a surface thereof. A bottom of each of the dimples has a curved shape protruding toward an outside of the golf ball, and the protruding portion has a spherical crown shape having a radius of curvature R of 20 to 50 mm. A depth d of a center protruding portion of the bottom of the dimple is a perpendicular distance between a line S connecting both ends of an outer periphery of the dimple and a highest point of the protruding portion. A volume occupation ratio VR of the dimple is less than 0.75. A relationship between Shore D hardness H of a material of the cover and the depth d (unit: mm) satisfies the following Formula 1:

(H78)/(300)>d(Formula 1).

The surface of the golf ball has an arithmetic average height Sa of not less than 0.5 m and not greater than 30 m. An average value Hav of heights H of the minute projections 18 is not less than 0.5 m and not greater than 50 m. A ratio Pp of a sum of areas of all the minute projections 18 to a surface area of a phantom sphere of the golf ball is not less than 7%. An average value Dav of diameters D of the minute projections 18 is not less than 5 m and not greater than 50 m.
