20250262490. GOLF BALL RETRIEVAL SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC CABLE GUIDE
Abstract: Golf ball retrieval system includes a mechanism for winding cable on a spool on the vehicle to evenly distributes the cable across the width of the spool as it is wound to prevent the cable from bunching up on one side of the spool or from binding on the spool. The spool is driven by a motor which is connected to two sprockets which are turned as the motor turns to wind or unwind the cable. An arm has one end connected to a chain connecting the sprockets and the opposite end connected to a cable...
20250262796. CERAMIC COMPONENT, CERAMIC/METAL COMPONENT, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
Applicant: City University Of Hong Kong Shenzhen Futian Research Institute
Abstract: This invention applied a paradigm for the one-step-shape/material-transformation, high-2D/3D/4D-precision, high-efficiency, and scalable in situ 4D additive-subtractive manufacturing of ceramics in aerospace fields. The printed ceramics exhibited a high flame ablation performance with the integration of 2D printing (ALD) and 3D/4D printing of ceramic materials. The proposed paradigm can be extended to other high-temperature materials to build ceramic/metal composite structures.
