A system simultaneously tracks multiple objects. All or a subset of the objects includes a wireless receiver and a transmitter for providing an output. The system includes one or more wireless transmitters that send commands to the wireless receivers of the multiple objects instructing different subsets of the multiple objects to output (via their respective transmitter) at different times. The system also includes object sensors that receive output from the transmitters of the multiple objects and a computer system in communication with the object sensors. The computer system calculates locations of the multiple objects based on the sensed output from the multiple objects.

The platform may be a vehicle adapted to operate over a ground surface in any direction. The platform may be a watercraft. The platform may be a wheeled vehicle. The sensor array may be adapted to detect and register shot information including a location and direction of the shot. There may be a plurality of robotic target support platforms, each having a sensor array. The receiver may be adjacent to the shooter.

A basketball training apparatus and a method for improving basketball shot making are disclosed. The basketball training apparatus includes a horizontal bar column, one or more brackets and a processing system. The horizontal bar column is configured to be mounted on a vertical structure and includes a plurality of longitudinal members. The one or more brackets are configured to be mounted on the vertical structure for horizontally adjoining the plurality of longitudinal members of the horizontal bar column together. The horizontal bar column is mounted onto the vertical structure using one or more brackets such that an optimum angle trajectory is created for an apex shot. The processing system operates an interactive device connected with the horizontal bar column. The interactive device is configured to track shot data associated with one or more shots performed by a player practicing on the basketball training apparatus.

We generally describe a detection system and a method for tracking a moving object. The detection system (101) comprises a sensor (102) which is configured to sense an event. The system further comprises a trigger detection module (108a) which is coupled to the sensor (102), wherein the trigger detection module (108a) is configured to identify the sensed event to be a trigger event. The system further comprises an imaging device (114) for imaging the trajectory of an object, and an imaging device control unit (112) for controlling the imaging device (114). The imaging device control unit (112) is coupled to the trigger detection module (180a), wherein the imaging device control unit (112) is configured to control the imaging device (114) in response to a trigger event being identified by the trigger detection module (108a). The imaging device (114) is coupled to the imaging device control unit (112) for providing a feedback from the imaging device (114) to the imaging device control unit (112), wherein the controlling of the imaging

A method of analyzing data obtained from sensors 200 worn on the body of an athlete. The sensors 200 provide both location and physiological data. The sensors 200 provide data to a server that can analyze the movement of the athlete and compare it to prior movement or optimal movements. The computer program can determine better motions 300 to optimize performance based on the motion 300 data from the sensors 200. The program can also determine physiological changes for the athlete, such as for example increasing leg strength, to optimize the performance. The program can also analyze and predict the trajectory 805 an object based on the data obtained regarding the athlete's movements and capabilities.

The invention relates to a measuring arrangement (1) for testing skis and snowboards (2) or sports equipment with a planar contact surface, the arrangement comprising a sensor device, onto which at least one ski or snowboard (2) or piece of sports equipment can be laid.
