Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems, and methods for implementing drills and providing coaching instructions to users. Embodiments may load a drill, measure values obtained from one or more sensors installed on a player's tennis racket and/or worn on the player's body, and use those values to detect various parameters, such as the physical impact of a ball at the player's racket. Embodiments may then output a coaching instruction to the user. Embodiments may also include adding customized coaching instructions to a drill.

SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AN INTELLIGENT GOAL

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon logic is disclosed. The logic is executable by one or more processors to perform operations including receiving information associated with a selection of a first training drill, responsive to receiving the information associated with the selection of the first training drill and based on the first training drill, causing a first light to be placed in an activated state, wherein the first light is coupled to a first goal apparatus, and responsive to a triggering event, causing the first light to be placed in a deactivated state and causing a second light to be placed in an activated state. The goal apparatus includes posts that form a goal plane, wherein a first sensor pair is coupled to the goal, and wherein the triggering event is a detection of an object passing through the posts and across the goal plane.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems, and methods for measuring values obtained from one or more sensors installed on a player's tennis racket and/or worn on the player's body, and using those values to calculate various parameters, such as the physical position and motion of the tennis racket. Embodiments may translate the parameters and derive one or more occurrences corresponding to phases of a tennis point or drill and then generate real-time audible, visual, and/or haptic coaching prompts and other related commands and signals, for the purpose of improving a player's motor skills. Embodiments may also send and receive messages to/from other embodiments, thereby permitting a player to interact with other players, coaches, or devices, such as ball machines and cameras.

Ballistic adjustment device for toy gun
10837730 · 2020-11-17 ·

A ballistic adjustment device for toy gun, includes a mounting member having a bearing portion located above a bullet barrel. When the mounting member moves up and down, a pressure member is released from or pressed against the bullet barrel to move a protruding portion of the bullet barrel up and down. A connecting rod is pivoted to a lower part of the mounting member and has a press portion that is pressed against an inclined surface of the rotary member. The rotary member is in communication with a magazine seat, such that the rotary member can be turned only by extending the operator's finger into the magazine seat, which makes the press portion moves high and low on the inclined surface, so as to move the connecting rod and the mounting member, and make the bearing portion move up and down to achieve the function of adjusting the trajectory.
