[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention generally relates to golf balls, and more particularly, to a golf ball having an improved dimple pattern.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Golf balls generally include a spherical outer surface with a plurality of dimples formed therein. Conventional dimples are depressions that act to reduce drag and increase lift. These dimples are formed where a dimple wall slopes away from the outer surface of the ball, forming the depression.
[0005] Dimples typically have a circular cross sectional profile. However, dimple having profiles of other shapes are also possible. Such other profiles include parabolic curve, ellipse, semi-spherical curve, saucer-shaped curve, sine curve, truncated cone, flattened trapezoid, or the shape generated by revolving a catenary curve about its symmetrical axis. Other possible dimple designs include dimples within dimples and constant depth dimples.
[0006] Drag is the air resistance that acts on the golf ball in the direction opposite the ball's flight direction. As the ball travels through the air, the air that surrounds the ball has different velocities and, thus, different pressures. The air exerts maximum pressure at a stagnation point on the front of the ball. The air then flows around the surface of the ball with an increased velocity and reduced pressure. At some separation point, the air separates from the surface of the ball and generates a large turbulent flow area behind the ball. This flow area, which is called the wake, has low pressure. The difference between the high pressure in front of the ball and the low pressure behind the ball slows the ball down. This is the primary source of drag for golf balls.
[0007] The dimples on the golf ball cause a thin boundary layer of air adjacent to the ball's outer surface to flow in a turbulent manner. Thus, the thin boundary layer is called a turbulent boundary layer. The turbulence energizes the boundary layer and helps move the separation point further backward, so that the layer stays attached further along the ball's outer surface. As a result, there is a reduction in the area of the wake, an increase in the pressure behind the ball, and a substantial reduction in drag.
[0008] Lift is an upward force on the ball that is created by a difference in pressure between the top of the ball and the bottom of the ball. This difference in pressure is created by a warp in the airflow that results from the ball's backspin. Due to the backspin, the top of the ball moves with the airflow, which delays the air separation point to a location further backward. Conversely, the bottom of the ball moves against the airflow, which moves the separation point forward. This asymmetrical separation creates an arch in the flow pattern that requires the air that flows over the top of the ball to move faster than the air that flows along the bottom of the ball. As a result, the air above the ball is at a lower pressure than the air below the ball. This pressure difference results in the overall force, called lift, which is exerted upwardly on the ball. For additional discussion regarding golf ball aerodynamics, see copending patent application No. 09/989,191 entitled �Golf Ball Dimples with a Catenary Curve Profile,� filed on Nov. 21, 2001 and 09/418,003 entitled �Phyllotaxis-Based Dimple Patterns,� filed on Oct. 14, 1999, both of which are incorporated herein in their entireties.
[0009] By using dimples to decrease drag and increase lift, golf ball flight distances have increased. In order to optimize ball performance, it is desirable to have a large number of dimples evenly distributed around the ball. In arranging the dimples, an attempt is made to minimize the space between dimples, because such space does not improve aerodynamic performance of the ball. However, since most golf ball dimples are formed using a two-piece mold, the two pieces being mated at a parting line, most golf balls have at least one great circle which corresponds to the parting line of the molds and upon which no dimples are formed.
[0010] Attempts at concealing golf ball parting lines using unusual molds have been made. One such design uses an icosahedral dimple arrangement. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,193, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. This design requires substantial undercuts to accommodate the icosahedral vertices. This is undesired because undercuts increase the difficulty of removing the ball from the mold. As the size of the undercuts increases, the difficulty of removing the ball from the mold increases. U.S. Pat. No. 4,653,758 discloses a golf ball design having a staggered parting line. In this design, the real parting line is only minimally displaced from the equator.
[0011] What is needed is an improved dimple pattern for which there is no great circle that does not intersect any dimples and that does not create an excessive amount of undercut.
[0012] The present invention is directed to a golf ball dimple pattern. According to one aspect of the invention, the dimples are arranged, at least in part, according to an Archimedean pattern. The dimples may be arranged on the golf ball according to an Archimedean pattern such that there is no great circle about the golf ball that does not intersect a dimple. Preferred Archimedean patterns include a truncated octahedron, a great rhombcuboctahedron, a truncated dodecahedron, and a great rhombicosidodecahedron.
[0013] According to another aspect of the invention, the golf ball has a nonplanar parting line. The parting line may include a parallel segment parallel to the true equator of the golf ball and a plurality of diverging segments that diverge and converge relative the true equator. The parallel segment may be non-collinear with the true equator. The dimples may be arranged on the golf ball such that there is no great circle about the golf ball that does not intersect a dimple. The diverging and converging parting line segments may cooperate to form areas that diverge and converge away from the true equator. The size of this area may be designed to not fully surround the biggest dimple or to minimize any undercut.
[0014] The present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters reference like elements, and wherein:
[0015]FIG. 1 shows a truncated octahedron;
[0016]FIG. 2 shows a great rhombcuboctahedron;
[0017]FIG. 3 shows a truncated icosahedron;
[0018]FIG. 4 shows a truncated dodecahedron;
[0019]FIG. 5 shows a great rhombicosidodecahedron;
[0020]FIG. 6 shows a wire model of a great rhombicosidodecahedron;
[0021]FIG. 7 shows a golf ball 1 with dimples arranged according to a great rhombicosidodecahedron pattern;
[0022]FIG. 8 shows a sector of the golf ball of FIG. 7; and
[0023]FIG. 9 shows a para diminished rhombicosidodecahedron.
[0024] FIGS. 1-5 show Archimedean solids. An Archimedean solid is a semi-regular convex polyhedron with regular polygon faces. Semi-regular means that Archimedean solids have uniform vertices, but not uniform faces. FIG. 1 shows a truncated octahedron. The truncated octahedron has 14 faces and 28 vertices. FIG. 2 shows a great rhombcuboctahedron, also known as a rhombitrucated cubeoctahedron. The great rhombcuboctahedron has 26 faces and 48 vertices. FIG. 3 shows a truncated icosahedron. The truncated icosahedron has 32 faces and 60 vertices. FIG. 4 shows a truncated dodecahedron. The truncated dodecahedron has 32 faces and 60 vertices. FIG. 5 shows a great rhombicosidodecahedron, also known as a rhombitruncated icosidodecahedron. The great rhombicosidodecahedron has 122 faces and 120 vertices.
[0025] It has been found that arranging dimples on a golf ball in sub-regions or patterns can yield a compact dimple arrangement that maximizes the percentage of the golf ball surface area that contains dimples. Maximizing the percentage surface area that includes dimples is desirable due to the resulting improved aerodynamics.
[0026] Dimple patterns based on Archimedean solids, such as those shown in FIGS. 1-5, yield a compact dimple arrangement. Dimple patterns based on Archimedean solids also allow for a nonplanar parting line. One benefit of using Archimedean patterns in a mold with a nonplanar parting line is that it is possible to design dimple patterns where there is no great circle that does not intersect any dimples. It should be noted that patterns of other shapes are also available for use. The dimple pattern according to a great rhombicosidodecahedron will be discussed below for illustrative purposes only; the discussion below can be modified to apply with equal force to a dimple pattern of any desired shape or shape fragment.
[0027]FIG. 6 shows a wire model of a great rhombicosidodecahedron. To place dimples on a golf ball 1 according to a pattern defined by a great rhombicosidodecahedron, the surface of the ball is subdivided according to corresponding surfaces of the great rhombicosidodecahedron. The parting line 10 of the mold is selected so that it travels along the edges where the adjoining surfaces meet. Preferably, the parting line is selected so as to approximate (but not be) a great circle. As an example, the parting line 10 can follow a path that begins with a �flat� segment 11 defined by a side of a first hexagon 30 and a first decahedron 31. Parting line 10 diverges from flat segment 11 upward at inclined segment 12 between an adjacent second side of first decahedron 31 and a first side of a first square 32. Parting line 10 converges at inclined segment 13 downward between an adjacent second side of first square 32 and a first side of a second hexagon 33. Parting line 10 continues through a second flat segment 14 defined by an adjacent second side of second hexagon 33 and a first side of a second decahedron 34. Parting line 10 then diverges from flat segment 14 downwards at inclined segment 15 between an adjacent second side of second decahedron 34 and a first side of a second square 35. Parting line 10 converges at inclined segment 16 upwards between an adjacent second side of second square 35 and a first side of a third hexagon 36. Parting line 10 continues through a third flat segment 17 defined by an adjacent second side of third hexagon 36 and a first side of a third decahedron 37.
[0028] Note that parting line 10 is described as �beginning� at flat segment 11 for ease of description only; the description could just as easily begin at any location along parting line 10. Likewise, the terms �flat,� �inclined,� �upwards,� and �downwards� are used in the relative sense and for illustrative purposes only. Additionally, the parting line 10 can take a different path than that described above. No limitation should be implied by the use of these terms and descriptions.
[0029] This sequence of alternating �flat� segments is repeated with alternating divergences up and down until a complete circumference of the sphere has been completed. The �flat� segments are parallel to a true great circle, and on this particular pattern ten such segments exist. On this pattern, alternating flat segments are located slightly above and slightly below the �true equator� defined by a great circle that perfectly bisects the sphere. Other embodiments might have the flat segments coincide with the true equator or a different number of flat segments. Preferably, the flat segments are in the immediate vicinity and are parallel to the true equator.
[0030] In between these flat segments are staggered divergences from the true great circle. On this particular pattern, there are ten such divergences, alternating above and below the true parting line. Following the side of a square, the parting line both diverges and converges with the true great circle at an angle of about 45�. Thus, the true parting line of the mold will have ten regions where it is flat and ten regions where it is staggered. In this particular example, five, or half, of the staggered portions extend above the flat segments, five below. Other arrangements are also possible. In this particular example, each area enclosed by divergence from flat is fairly small and contains less than one dimple. Other possible embodiments could have a different number of divergences, define larger or smaller divergent areas, or contain more than one dimple.
[0031] As the parting line diverges from the true equator, the circumference of the mold cavity decreases, essentially creating an �undercut.� As the undercuts become more pronounced, it may become more difficult to remove the molded parts. Excessive undercut also increases the likelihood of damaging the molded surface of the golf ball while removing the ball from the mold. The potential problems associated with a pronounced undercut also may become more significant as the number of dimples present in the divergent regions increases. U.S. Pat. No. 4,389,365 discloses a mold in which one of the two mold parts covers substantially more of the ball than does the other. This design requires a mechanical means to remove the ball from the mold. This design is not preferred, as the mechanical ball removal means may adversely affect the ball surface.
[0032]FIG. 7 shows a golf ball 1 with dimples arranged according to a great rhombicosidodecahedron pattern. In this particular example the great rhombicosidodecahedron has been filled with dimples to create a golf ball with 402 dimples of six different sizes. Using an alternate dimple arrangement, a different dimple count, or a different number of dimple sizes is also within the scope of this invention. All dimple arrangements that conform to the parting line staggering method are acceptable.
[0033] With the great rhombicosidodecahedron example, the hemispheres can be subdivided into five equal sectors. FIG. 8 shows a sector 2 of the golf ball 1 of FIG. 7. Each sector 2 defines 40 dimples of six sizes. The dimples are labeled with letters A-F according to size. Dimple A1 is common to all five sectors. In this example, golf ball 1 contains 402 dimples.
[0034] Dimples may also be positioned on a golf ball according to portions or fragments of Archimedean solids. FIG. 9 shows a para diminished rhombicosidodecahedron, which is such a fragment. Preferably, the fragment is located at or about the parting line.
[0035] While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not of limitation. It will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus the present invention should not be limited by the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims and their equivalents.

9 Best Celebrity Shirtless Selfies
We've all done it, or at least know a bunch of people who have. We're talking about snapping the narcissistic selfie, taken in a mirror or with the camera flipped, then uploaded onto our social media sites in hopes of a few "likes." Whether you're guilty or not, it's all #instagood—celebrities do it too. In fact, within the past few months, a whole slew of actors, musicians, and athletes have taken to Instagram and Twitter, uploading pictures of their ridiculously fit bodies. Here's are nine of the best, starting with Chris Pratt.
July/August Men's Fitness cover subject Chris Pratt shed some 60 pounds for his role in Guardians of the Galaxy, which hits theaters on August 1 and also stars Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel. While he admits his friends made fun of him after posting this photo, most of the publicity and responses he got were pretty positive. On top of hitting the gym, Pratt also gave up beer for six months in order to lose the weight.

Cotton,bias tape
Dec 20, 2013, 08.39 PMby saxsilverain
my eyes are drawn to the colourful blocks in the middle of this apron, they look so perfect with one another, and also with the gray apron fabric itself. great combination! :) are those printed ones Marimekko fabrics? (they remind me so much of Marimekko.) i SO LOVE the apron!
PS. i also love your dummy, how nice that it has arms!
Dec 20, 2013, 09.58 PMby Rikamekko
Thank you so much for your warm comment : ) Thanks to you, I was able to have confidence about fabric matching of the apron. I made another apron using the middle fabirc. Instead of gray one,I selected khaki color. This is also nice,I think.
You have an expert eye for the fabric, yeah absolutely marimekko^^
That dummy was really a reasonable buy … : )

Adult Women Multiple Orgasms To Make Penis Bigger Natural New Male Enhancement Products
There are a number of different theories about what the G-spot or area actually is. One view is that it is an area of prostatic tissue similar to the male prostate. The absence of the Y chromosome in the developing female fetus deposits the cells in a similar location and voila - the G-spot. Complete with a similar type of sensitivity to the male prostate Fellatio and Female Orgasms – Let's be honest, men enjoy fellatio and want to receive it. The bad part is that since your partner usually won't be getting much in return she may be less likely to go along with your desire. If you can pleasure her while she is giving you oral sex, then you have the best of both worlds. Next time you ask for fellatio, lie flat on the bed and ask your partner to straddle your body with her butt facing you. As she's going down on you, you'll be in perfect position to reach up and use your fingers to massage her clitoris. While that hand is busy, use your other hand to stroke her butt and her back. As your pleasure becomes more intense, you should increase the intensity of what you are giving to her as well.

1 year later: Construction continues on hockey arena
Updated On: Jan 04 2013 05:20:28 AM CST
One year ago Thursday, demolition began in downtown Allentown to make way for the city's new hockey arena.
Many businesses were made offers to move elsewhere but what about the ones that stayed?
Close to half a dozen places managed to keep their doors open despite the demolition and construction.
69 News caught up with owners and asked how business is going despite the big changes.
Even though owners wouldn't speak to us on camera, some did admit receiving offers from developer J.B. Reilly and plan to close their doors within the next few months.
However, others who plan to stay, say business has been slow due to a decrease in foot traffic and a lack of parking.
We also found that several stores found new management just within the past few months, like the Jarabacoa City restaurant on the corner of Linden and Eighth streets.
Miguel Guiterrez, who also owns a couple of barbershops in the area, says he bought the restaurant five to six months ago and said he's optimistic about his new business venture.
"I think it's going to ultimately bring us new customers as the construction process goes on. I think we'll be able to remodel the restaurant and make it better so anyone can go eat there," he said.
Other shop owners say they're also looking forward to getting their businesses back on track.
The arena is expected to be done in time for the Phantoms 2014 season.

Getting her name carved in Hollywood Walk of Fame should be an honor for Julia Louis-Dreyfus. But the Emmy-winning actress found it "hysterical" when she learned that her name was misspelled on the star.
The "The New Adventures of Old Christine" beauty was scheduled to unveil her star on Tuesday morning, May 4. But hours before the ceremony, CNN producer David Daniel who snapped a picture of the star found that her name was misspelled to become "Julia Luis Dreyfus", missing the "O" and a hypen.
David then contacted a press rep for the Walk of Fame Ana Martinez-Holler about the error. Later, workmen chiseled out the "Luis" and replaced it with a temporary "Louis" for the unveiling. The star will be permanently repaired soon.
Julia, in the meantime, thought the typo was hilarious that she actually wanted to keep as it was. "The misspelling was so perfectly apt, a great metaphor for show business," she said as quoted by Associated Press after the ceremony. "Right when you think you've made it, you get knocked down. It's an ideal metaphor for how this business works."

Movie Info
Married for almost 50 years, Grant and Fiona's commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humor. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona's to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. But, when it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is being consumed by Alzheimer's disease, the limits of their love and loyalty must be wrenchingly redefined. … More

Critic Reviews for Away from Her
All Critics (148) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (135) | Rotten (8) | DVD (9)
Sarah Polley, a terrific actress, now serves notice that she is a director to watch.
Beautifully written, from an Alice Munro short story, this movie directed by an actress rarely missteps, even when it bravely includes the dark humor inherent in this situation.
Superb, from its subtle atmospheres to its fine performances. Julie Christie is exquisite as ever purveying the spirit of a woman whose radiance remains even as it dims like the glow of sunset on a snowbound lake.
Away From Her got to me in a way no other movie has this year, eliciting copious tears.
As this intimate, beautifully observed film unfolds, you realize that the story's themes are relevant no matter what age you happen to be.
Sarah Polley's sad, wise and simply dazzling directorial effort beams with warmth.
No one dreams of the twilight transpiring in "Away From Her," but, in its words, it's not bad luck. It's just life. You can't beat life. A tenderly told tragedy about Alzheimer's Disease's erosive effects, Sarah Polley's film avoids movie-of-the-week sap.
Too content with its own "maturity" and "restraint," yet it invaluably offers Christie for audiences in delicate contemplation, and chaste consummation
Sometimes extreme physical beauty grows more complex, more satisfying with age; it's rare, but it happens.
Christie is brilliant as steely but brittle Fiona, a woman who knows her mind completely and yet, in the end, cannot hang on to it, while Pinsent eloquently portrays the gradual ebbing away of a partnership, as delicate and unstoppable as snow-melt.
Una bella historia de amor a merced de una enfermedad, filmada con delicadeza por Sarah Polley y sensiblemente interpretada por Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent y Olympia Dukakis.
A beautifully acted, poignant film about a man who slowly loses his wife to Alzheimer's.
A complex series of relationships revolve around a nursing home romance.
Julie Christie as an Alzheimer's afflicted wife achieves the perfect psychological mixture of despair, mystery, rebellion against the unappreciated devotion that has been her lot in married life, and an ultimate odd but eloquent personal liberation.
Hallmark card presentation of the onset of Alzheimer's. Totally sincere and totally unrealistic.
Christie (with whom Polley acted in Hal Hartley's No Such Thing) is still a radiant presence at 66 and she rivets us to the screen.
Something of an antithesis to the fake fuzziness of any Hallmark movie of the week.
The strength of Away From Her rests on the laurels of an excellent director and Julie Christie whose demanding role is interpreted with subtlety, humor and wisdom. Polley said she only had Christie in mind when the film was to be cast.
Away From Her is that rare movie that breaks hearts with finesse and reserve, not through brute force.
It's nice to see serious issues other than crime and drugs in the movies and even nicer to see a filmmaking talent like Sarah Polley blossoming.
If the Oscars were really looking for Best Actress, it couldn't go wrong looking this way.
Lovely and cold as a Nordic winter sky, Away From Her is a lacerating, tough movie that's sometimes hard to watch - and impossible to forget
Tackling a sorrowful subject with compassion and even an occasional laugh, actress Sarah Polley makes an impressive full-length debut as writer and director ...
Audience Reviews for Away from Her
I thought I was watching a great Atom Egoyan movie. Turns out I was watching a great Sarah Polley movie. Very poignant, very Canadian.
Really liked this film. Gordon Pinsent and Julie Christie both gave wonderfully full performances.
Super Reviewer
Easily one of the most heartbreaking and saddening films of all time, this directorial debut from actress Sarah Polley deals with the deterioration of a mind, but more importantly a marriage. Set in the drifts of the Canadian snow, Polley creates a vast landscape constructed of bare boned memories and nerve touching emotions. She pieces together a narrative that shows their entire forty four years together, though the love each expresses for the other is encapsulated in tender moments of reflection and reconciliation. As his wife starts to lose her memory bit by bit, Grant (Pinsent) mostly denies that she has a problem at all, and as time passes even further, he has to slowly say goodbye to a woman he has formerly wronged, and made right to. Their love is so deep and lively, with their breadth of knowledge, of inner peace, and that's shown in the performances of Gordon Pinsent and Julie Christie, who really remain the most poignant of any onscreen couple. There is nothing more heart aching than watching Christie as she slowly loses any recognition for the man she has loved for most of her life. Pinsent's character remains stoic throughout the incident, and holds out hope for her memory to return, and that makes it all the more heart breaking when it doesn't. The way this film is paced is beautiful, taking into account the lives that they lived before Christie's decline, but also looking at what has happened, at the new relationships that are forming, of letting go to someone you simply can't live without, for their own benefit, and being okay with it. Tears will stream down your face as they lose each other, without one of them ever knowing.More
Super Reviewer
I struggled getting into this one, just because it is such a horrible subject (altzheimers disease). Obviously this was never going to be a laugh a minute. However, the acting by both Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent is so well done that it somehow doesn't wind up totally depressing, even though it probably should be. A bit different to what you normally see in the movies. Recommended.More
Super Reviewer
I have put off seeing this movie. I find movies about Alzheimer's scary since my mother went through it before she passed on. But scary or not, you should see "Away from her". It is wonderfully played and wonderfully directed. Sarah Polley just shows you what Alzheimer's can do.More

Swedroe: Volatility & Corrosive Contango
The presence of regularly occurring anomalies in conventional economic theory led to the development of the field of behavioral finance, and the volatility anomaly is one that deserves some special attention.
Anomalies directly violate modern financial and economic theories, which assume rational and logical behavior. We now have a laundry list of anomalies, including momentum and the poor performance of stocks that exhibit lotterylike distributions—initial public offerings, penny stocks, small-growth stocks and stocks in bankruptcy.
But, as I said, there's another anomaly that belongs on the list—the popularity of volatility-based investment products.
Exchange-traded products (ETPs) linked to the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) were launched in January 2009. There are now more than 30 ETPs with a market value of about $4 billion, generating daily trading volume in excess of $800 million.
You might wonder why there's all this interest, when the March 23, 2012 prospectus of VelocityShares, the exchange-traded notes (ETN) issued by Credit Suisse AG states: "The long term expected value of your ETNs is zero. If you hold your ETNs as a long- term investment, it is likely that you will lose all or a substantial portion of your investment."
In case anyone didn't know, these securities are not suitable buy-and-hold investments.
So what explains the all the interest in these products? Why are they so popular? We know why the purveyors of the products create them—the annual fees range from 0.85 to 1.65 percent, or $85 to $165 for each $10,000 invested—but why do investors purchase them when they're more or less guaranteed to lose money over time?
Robert Whaley, author of the paper "Trading Volatility: At What Cost?," sought the answers to those questions.
Before digging into the findings, it's important to understand that ETPs are not investments in the Chicago Board of Exchange (CBOE) volatility index called the VIX, which was launched in 1993.
As Whaley explains: "The VIX itself isn't a traded security. VIX ETPs are traded securities created from complicated VIX futures trading strategies which demand daily rebalancing and are subject to a host of management fees and expenses including futures commissions and trading fees, licensing fees, and, in some cases, foregone interest income."

I needed a new seating area for my day care playroom once my foam one started to rip, so I decided on this one and I am so glad I did. Extra storage and the perfect size for 3 aged ,infant to Kindergarten, children to sit for circle time. The lid closes slowly so no pinched fingers too. They love it! Wanted white but it was sold out and this is a lighter pink, almost more of a blush color. LOVE IT!!!!! The directions for assembly were easy to follow as well.

Sydney closed 0.84 per cent down, Seoul dropped 1.27 per cent. Shanghai was up 0.71 per cent and Hong Kong lost 0.37 per cent.
Tokyo was closed for the first day of a three-day holiday.
"Osama bin Laden's death was overshadowed by renewed concern about European sovereign debt, particularly in relation to Greece," said RBS Morgans investment adviser Chris MacDonald in Sydney.
Hong Kong had spent much of the day in positive territory before dropping in the last hour of trading to close at 23,633.25, down 87.56 points.
Seoul, where the KOSPI lost 28.23 points to stand at 2,200.73, was hit by profit-taking.
Chinese shares reversed early losses as concerns over further tightening measures eased with data showing manufacturing growth slowed in April, dealers said.
The Shanghai Composite Index, which covers both A and B shares, ended 20.68 points higher at 2,932.19 on turnover of 102.7 billion yuan ($15.8 billion).
Stocks in Sydney fell, with a strong Australian dollar weighing on sentiment over upcoming corporate earnings results.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was down 40.7 points at 4,784.6.
"The market is uncertain as to how big and widespread these downgrades may be, hence the cautiousness we are seeing in trade at the moment," said Ben Potter from IG Markets.
"Markets hate uncertainty, so we're likely to see this continue until some clarity prevails."
The Australian unit weakened to $1.0904 after having surged through the $1.10 mark on Monday.
The country's central bank on Tuesday left interest rates on hold at 4.75 per cent, as widely expected, but warned of possible rising inflation over the longer term as the economy improves.
One euro bought US$1.4817 in afternoon Asian trade compared to $1.4824 in New York on Monday.
Both currencies weakened against the yen, with the euro trading at 119.86 yen from 120.30 a day ago and the greenback changing hands at 81.00 yen from 81.10.
"News of the demise of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden gave lift to the US dollar," US-based forex research firm DailyFX said in a report.
"(But) the dollar's move lacked conviction and the greenback is likely to see further weakness on diverging interest rate expectations and concerns over the ballooning US deficit," the firm cautioned.
US stock markets closed flat Monday after initial euphoria over bin Laden's killing faded and investors looked instead to an underlying weakness.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 3.18 points (0.02 per cent) to finish at 12,807.36.
The Nasdaq Composite dropped 9.46 points (0.33 per cent) to 2,864.08, while the broad-based S&P 500 index retreated 2.39 points (0.18 per cent) to 1,361.22.
All three indices had opened the session with gains after the late-night announcement Sunday that US forces had killed the Al-Qaeda mastermind at his secret compound in Pakistan.
"A lacklustre report on manufacturing took some of the wind out of the bullish sails, with stocks dipping their toes in the red around midday" and closing with modest losses, said Andrea Kramer at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
Oil eased in Asia as traders digested news of bin Laden's death, but analysts warned prices will be tied to unrest in the Arab world and the dollar's value in the long run.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for June delivery, was down 50 cents to $113.02 and Brent North Sea crude for June eased 42 cents to $124.70.
"(Oil) is holding relatively flat, but oil markets remain vulnerable to geo-political risks with or without bin Laden... and the low value of the US dollar," Victor Shum, a Singapore-based analyst with energy consultancy Purvin and Gertz told AFP.
Gold closed in Hong Kong at $1,542.50-$1,543.50, sharply down from the peak of $1,577.57 it hit in New York trade on Monday.
In other markets:
-- Manila closed 0.17 per cent lower Tuesday as investors took profits in the absence of fresh leads a day after the market hit a fresh six-month high, dealers said.
The composite index shed 7.39 points to 4,319.37.
-- Taiwan's weighted index fell 61.79 points or 0.69 per cent to 8,946.08.
TSMC rose 1.91 per cent to Tw$74.6 while Hon Hai fell 2.31 per cent to Tw$106.0.
-- In Wellington, the NZX-50 index fell 0.08 per cent, or 2.75 points, to 3,495.11.
