Abstract:
A golf ball having a good rebound and excellent flight performance can be obtained using a golf ball composition which includes a diene polymer having a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of less than 1.9.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for printing is provided. The method includes preparing a hollow printing pad having a transfer surface, the printing pad being configured so that when the transfer surface is pushed, the gas in the hollow part is released to the outside of the printing pad; transferring ink or paint in recesses formed on the surface of a printing plate to the transfer surface of the printing pad by applying the ink or paint onto the surface of the printing plate and by pressing the transfer surface of the printing pad against the surface of the printing plate; and transferring the ink or paint to the object to be printed by pressing the transfer surface of the printing pad against the object to be printed until at least the hemispherical portion of the object to be printed is wrapped by the transfer surface of the printing pad.
Abstract:
The invention provides a golf ball endowed with an improved distance and durability. The ball has a core and a cover, the core being formed of a rubber composition containing a base rubber, a co-crosslinking agent, a crosslinking initiator and a metal oxide. The base rubber is a mixture of (A) polybutadiene with (B) styrene-butadiene rubber and/or isoprene rubber, the co-crosslinking agent is methacrylic acid, and the metal oxide is zinc oxide. The rubber composition contains the crosslinking initiator in an amount of from 1.2 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the base rubber.

Abstract:
A switching circuit according to one embodiment includes: a switching element that has a first terminal and a second terminal, and is driven by a pulse signal to switch a conduction state between the first and second terminals; a power source section that supplies a voltage to the first terminal; a load circuit that is connected in parallel with the power source section; a passive circuit section that is connected between a connection point between the power source section and the load circuit, and the first terminal, and suppresses a current flowing from the connection point to the switching element at a frequency N times (N is an integer of 1 or more) as high as a clock frequency of the pulse signal; and a resonant circuit section that is connected between the passive circuit section and the connection point, and resonates at the frequency of N times.
Abstract:
A practice golf ball with a core and a cover has, upon initial measurement, a deflection BH1 (mm) when compressed under a final load of 1,275 N from an initial load of 98 N and an initial velocity BV1 (m/s), and also has, when measured again after being left to stand for 350 days following initial measurement, a deflection BH2 (mm) when compressed under a final load of 1,275 N from an initial load of 98 N and an initial velocity BV2 (m/s), such that the difference BH2−BH1 is not more than 0.2 mm and the difference BV2−BV1 is not more than 0.3 m/s. The ball has excellent durability to cracking and durability of appearance, and also maintains a stable feel and flight performance over a long period of time.
Abstract:
In a practice golf ball having a core and a cover encasing the core, the cover has a material hardness, expressed as the Shore D hardness, of from 30 to 57. The core has an initial velocity CV (m/s) and the ball has an initial velocity BV1 (m/s) such that the value CV−BV1 satisfies the condition (CV−BV1)=0.7×(cover thickness)−b, where 0.1≦b≦1.0. The ball has a soft feel on impact like that of a one-piece golf ball and thus is able to reduce strain on the player's body, in addition to which it has much better durability to cracking than commonly used game balls, good retention of appearance even with long-term use, and a distance that is controlled so as to be appropriate for a driving range.

Abstract:
A golf ball having a polymer layer that has been subjected to impregnation treatment with an isocyanate and/or isothiocyanate-containing olefin compound exhibits at least one improved golf ball attribute, such as scuff resistance or spin performance, compared with an original golf ball that has not been treated by impregnation.
