摘要： A high performance golf ball having a reduced overall distance while maintaining the appearance of a high performance trajectory. The golf ball includes a combination of low CoR core and cover materials coupled with a less efficient aerodynamic dimple pattern that achieves a reduction in carry and overall distance of at least 5 yards versus a conventional golf ball, while still providing the look, sound, feel and apparent flight of a conventional golf ball. A high performance golf ball having a reduced distance is also achieved by maintaining the lift to weight ratio to be greater than 1.5 at a Reynolds number of about 205,000 and a spin rate of 2900 rpm.

摘要： A hard disk drive that has a liquid bearing between a head and a disk of the disk drive. The drive includes a spindle motor and an actuator arm assembly coupled to a base plate. The disk and the head are coupled to the spindle motor and actuator arm assembly, respectively. The liquid bearing is formed between the head and the disk. By way of example, the liquid bearing can be formed by the condensation of a vapor within the disk drive assembly. The liquid bearing can minimize mechanical wear while optimizing signal strength in the signal detected by the head.
