A golf ball sorting system has a ball feeder configured to transport a plurality of golf balls. At least some of the golf balls have a conductive marking pattern that is not visible to an observer because the marking pattern is covered by at least one other layer of the golf ball. A detection system receives the golf balls, inspects the golf balls, and outputs a detection result. A sorting system receives the detection result and sorts the plurality of golf balls based on the detection result to separate the plurality of golf balls into at least three groups, including a first category of golf balls that do not have the marking pattern, a second category of golf balls that have a first type of the marking pattern, and a third category of golf balls that have a second type of the marking pattern.

Systems and methods for sorting golf balls having a radar detectable mark

A golf ball has a golf ball subassembly having one or more subassembly layers, the one or more subassembly layers including at least one marked layer. The golf ball also has a cover layer surrounding the golf ball subassembly. The golf ball further has a marking pattern disposed on the at least one marked layer. The marking pattern has a first portion including a first material configured to be detected by a first detector type and a second portion including a second material configured to be detected by a second detector type.

Golf ball having a radar detectable mark

An HVAC component and method of forming the HVAC component, including a duct having a first surface and a second surface movable between an unassembled position and an assembled position is provided, wherein the method includes (a) applying a paint sealant to one of the first and the second surfaces; (b) one of drying or curing the applied paint sealant; and (c) moving the first and second surfaces from the unassembled to the assembled position, the paint sealant forming a sealed interface between the assembled first surface and second surface.

Method of forming a duct with paint sealant

A golf ball sorting system has a ball feeder, a ball mover, a detector, and a sorting system. The ball feeder may be configured to receive a plurality of golf balls. The ball mover may be configured to move each of the plurality of golf balls one at a time at a predetermined minimum speed. The detector may be configured to inspect each of the plurality of golf balls moved by the movement mechanism and output a detection result based on the inspection. The sorting system may be configured to receive the detection result and sort the plurality of golf balls based on the detection result to separate golf balls that include a mark that is not visible to an observer from golf balls that do not include a mark.
