Embodiments of golf clubs with grooves and methods of manufacture thereof are described herein. In one embodiment of a golf club described herein, the golf club has a head with a body. The body has a strike face with channels and at least one insert located within at least one of the channels. At least one of the channels comprises a single groove, and the insert forms at least a portion of the single groove. At least one of the channels comprises an opening on the strike face that is narrower than a bottom of the at least one of the channels. Other embodiments and related methods are also disclosed herein.

A brake disc for a wheeled vehicle; said brake disc including opposing annular braking surfaces; each of said surfaces provided with an identical pattern of disparate arcuate groove segments; said groove segments arranged in groups oriented in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions; each of said groups including, one series of at least two arcuate groove segments lying along a common are extending from proximate a hub of said braking surface to proximate the periphery of said braking surface, one inward arcuate groove segment extending from proximate said hub to a point intermediate said hub and said periphery, and one outward arcuate groove segment extending from a point intermediate said hub and said periphery to proximate said periphery.

Method and Apparatus for fabricating a spacer frame for use in an insulating glass unit. One of a multiple number of possible spacer frame materials is chosen for the spacer frame. An elongated strip of the material is moved to a notching station where notches are formed at corner locations. The character of the notches is adjusted based on the selection of the metal strip material and more particularly to achieve bending of the material in an repeatable, straightforward manner. Better control over the notching process is also achieved by exhaust flow control of a double acting cylinder. A positioning spacer achieve very accurate side to side positioning of a die and anvil to precisely notch and deform the metal strip. Downstream from the notching station the metal strip is bent into a channel shaped elongated frame member having side walls. Further downstream a leading strip of channel shaped material is severed or separated from succeeding material still passing through the notching and bending station.

A golf club head including a club face defined by a toe end, a heel end, a top rail and a sole. The golf club head including a plurality of grooves disposed on the club face between the top rail and the sole. Each groove extends between the toe end and the heel end. Widths of the grooves vary in a direction extending between the heel end and the toe end.

An improved hammer mill hammer constructed by forming a groove in an edge of the grinding end of a hammer for receiving hard facing material and placing hard facing in the groove.

A high aspect ratio in-plane metal microneedle array, a manufacturing method and a clamping and inserting auxiliary device thereof is disclosed. A large-size metal sheet is cut into small metal sheets. A clamping tooling composed of two upper and lower metal cover plates is processed. Inner sides of the upper and the lower cover plates of the tooling are provided with grooves in which the metal sheets are placed and fastened by bolts. Wire cutting is conducted on the tooling and the metal sheets as a whole to obtain a plane metal microneedle array with a plurality of microneedle bodies. In addition, an assembling and clamping device and an inserting auxiliary device of the high aspect ratio in-plane metal microneedle array is provided. The assembled inserting auxiliary device is placed on skin, and the microneedle array is inserted into the skin through the auxiliary device.

Vascular treatment devices and methods include a woven structure including a plurality of bulbs that may be self-expanding, a hypotube, for example including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs, and a bonding zone between the woven structure and the hypotube. The woven structure may include patterns of radiopaque filaments measurable under x-ray. Structures may be heat treated to include various shapes at different temperatures. The woven structure may be deployable to implant in a vessel. A catheter may include a hypotube including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs and optionally a balloon. Laser cutting systems may include fluid flow systems.

A method for cutting a preform usable for production of a turbomachine part and including a weaving of a plurality of threads, the threads including single threads that are visually identifiable, along a cutting contour calculated based on a preform model in which the threads have a reference arrangement, the method including: taking an image of the preform; processing the image to determine a deviation in an arrangement of the threads which are visually identifiable relative to the reference layout; correcting the cutting contour according to the deviation; and cutting the preform along the corrected cutting contour.

Methods, system, devices, processes and techniques are disclosed for manufacturing orthopedic implants utilizing blanks and/or fixtures.
