A golf club head and a method of manufacturing a golf club head are described herein. The golf club head comprises a club face with a face portion, and grooves positioned on the club face. The grooves each comprise a bottom, a first side wall adjacent the bottom, a second side wall adjacent the bottom, a first top radius adjacent the first side wall, and a second top radius adjacent the second side wall. The club face further comprises a second portion positioned between the face portion, and the first top radius and the second top radius. The second portion of the club face allows for the grooves to appear visually wider to a player, which can provide psychological effects to benefit performance, while still conforming to USGA groove widths standards.

A golf club head includes a heel portion, a toe portion, a hosel, and a striking face. The striking face includes a plurality of scorelines each having an average depth no less than about 0.10 mm, a plurality of micro-grooves each having an average depth no greater than about 0.010 mm, and a plurality of textured surface treatment regions superimposed on the micro-grooves so as to at least partially intersect the micro-grooves.

Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for machining a feature on a work piece along a curving tool path including a spiral pattern with continuously varying radius. In particular, the feature is scribed by a tool while varying an angle of rotation of a cutting surface of the tool with respect to the work piece to maintain a substantially constant angle between the cutting surface and a corresponding relative translational movement between the cutting surface and the work piece along the spiral pattern. A dynamic feed rate of the tool also is varied continuously with respect to the work piece based on the continuously varying radius of the at least one spiral pattern to substantially maintain a target centripetal acceleration of the tool with respect to the work piece.

Three systems for the destruction of the data storage portion of electronic media storage devices such as hard disk drives, solid state drives and hybrid hard drives. One system utilizes a mill cutter with which the hard drive has relative motion in the direction of the axis of the mill cutter to destroy the data storage portion. A second system utilizes a laser to physically destroy the data storage portion. The third system utilizes a chemical solvent to chemically destroy the data storage portion.

A vane tip machining fixture assembly includes a first clamp ring mountable to a fixture, the first clamp ring includes a rigid back ring mounted to a resilient ring.

A retention knob for use with a tool holder that is less prone to distorting a tapered tool holder surface, especially if it is over-tightened. The retention knob includes a knob head, a flange engageable with an end of a tool holder shank, a pilot segment receivable by the counter bore defined by said tool holder shank and a threaded segment spaced from said flange by an undercut segment. The threaded segment is configured so that it has a length that is substantially the minimum length required to achieve maximum thread holding strength. The undercut segment is configured to space the threaded segment from its head so that a distal end of the threaded segment is substantially near the bottom of the tapered bore forming part of the tool holder. With the disclosed construction, an upper portion of the threaded tool holder bore is not engaged by the threaded segment. The threaded segment has balanced threads which is achieved by locating the lead-in of the thread 180 from the lead-out of the thread. Chamfer angles at the lead-in and lead-out of the threaded segment are controlled to be the same or substantially similar.

The wear status of a micro-endmill tool may be inferred by monitoring the chip production rate of the tool in operation. Chips may be extracted from a work area, captured on an adhesive surface, imaged, and counted to determine the chip production rate. When the rate of chip production falls, the feed rate of the micro-endmill may be modified to a level suitable for the current state of tool wear. In this manner, costly and inconvenient work stoppages to evaluate the wear status of a tool are eliminated.

Provided is a method of machining a sealing surface, the method being capable of finishing a sealing surface at low cost and in a short period of time, eliminating lead marks, and forming the sealing surface highly accurately. The method of machining a sealing surface comprises finishing a sealing surface (M), which is to be machined, by cutting the sealing surface (M) using a rotating cutting tool (81) while rotating a workpiece having the sealing surface (M) about an axis thereof. The cutting of the sealing surface (M) using the rotating cutting tool (81) comprises hardened steel cutting which generates no lead marks.
