==GOLF BALL DIMPLE PLAN SHAPE DEFINED BY CLAUSEN FUNCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017127 titled 'GOLF BALL DIMPLE PLAN SHAPE DEFINED BY CLAUSEN FUNCTION

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure is about golf balls that have improved aerodynamic performance due to the selection of the plan shapes of the dimples on the surface. Specifically, the invention focuses on golf balls that have dimples with a plan shape defined by a Clausen function of order 2 mapped along a simple closed path. The disclosure also provides methods for designing dimples with this specific plan shape.

* The patent is about golf balls with improved aerodynamic performance.
* The dimples on the golf balls have a specific plan shape defined by a Clausen function of order 2.
* The Clausen function is mapped along a simple closed path on the golf ball's surface.
* The patent also includes methods for designing dimples with this specific plan shape.

Potential Applications:
* Golf ball manufacturing companies can use this technology to produce golf balls with enhanced aerodynamic performance.
* Professional golfers and amateurs looking to improve their game can benefit from using golf balls with improved aerodynamics.

Problems Solved:
* Traditional golf balls may not have optimal aerodynamic performance, leading to reduced distance and accuracy.
* The selection of dimple plan shapes based on a Clausen function of order 2 can address these aerodynamic issues and improve the overall performance of the golf ball.

Benefits:
* Golf balls with improved aerodynamic performance can result in increased distance and accuracy.
* Players using these golf balls may experience better control and consistency in their shots.
* The technology can potentially enhance the overall playing experience for golfers.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the present disclosure 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 clausen function of order 2 mapped along a simple closed path. additionally, the present invention provides methods for designing dimples having a plan shape defined by a clausen function of order 2 mapped along a simple closed path.
