The present invention relates to a new and inventive combination game combining aspects of ball and/or bowling games, The invention further relates to a game set comprising all elements necessary to perform the game and to a method of playing a combined game.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The present disclosure provides for articles that exhibit structural colors through the use of an optical element, where structural colors are visible colors produced, at least in part, through optical effects. The optical element can include the reflective layer(s), constituent layers, and an optional textured surface. The optical element has a minimum percent reflectance in a wavelength range within the wavelength range of about 380 to 740 nanometers. The optical element imparts a structural color that corresponds substantially to the range of wavelength range.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The present disclosure provides for articles that exhibit structural colors through the use of an optical element, where structural colors are visible colors produced, at least in part, through optical effects. The optical element (e.g., a single layer reflector, a single layer filter, a multilayer reflector or a multilayer filter) can include the reflective layer(s), constituent layers, and an optional textured surface. The optical element has a minimum percent reflectance in a wavelength range within the wavelength range of about 380 to 625 nanometers. The optical element imparts a structural color that corresponds substantially to the range of wavelength range.

A light charging system charges at least one luminescent object to emit light and includes a housing comprising an openable lid, an interior, and at least one interior wall, wherein the openable lid provides a light proof seal when mated with the at least one interior wall. A light source comprises an illuminating light panel interposed between at least one light source and the interior to illuminate and charge a luminescent object when operating. An electronic housing contains at least one battery and an on/off switch. A/C or D/C power can be used.

The present invention provides golf balls having a pattern of stellated polygon shaped dimples and grooves with pre-selected and coordinated color appearances on the outer surface of the ball to produce a unique and desirable overall golf ball color appearance.

A system for analyzing a putting motion includes: mat markers attached to a mat on which a ball is placed; a putter marker attached to a putter for applying an impact to the ball; a mat having a color contrasting with colors of the mat markers, the putter marker and the ball; a camera for photographing the mat markers, the ball, and the putter marker; a mat detection unit for detecting a position of the mat from an image photographed by the camera; an object detection unit for detecting positions of the putter and the ball in real time; a ball calculation unit for calculating a speed and a moving direction of the ball based on the detected ball; and a pointer calculation unit for calculating a pointer position for a menu selection function necessary for a simulator operation by using coordinates of the detected putter.

A matte colored golf ball which is free of luster and gloss has a good appearance in which injection marks that form during injection molding of a cover layerbe it an intermediate layer or an outermost layerare difficult to see and scuffing on the cover surface is inconspicuous. The golf ball includes a core, an outermost layer, an intermediate layer therebetween, and a coat formed on the surface of the outermost layer. The intermediate layer is formed of a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin and a colorant consisting of a fluorescent dye or a fluorescent pigment and has a specific visible light transmittance, the outermost layer is molded of a transparent or translucent resin composition that is free of fluorescent dye, and the coat is formed of a urethane-based coating composition containing delustering particles.

A method for locating a golf ball including changing a temperature of a golf ball from a first temperature to a second temperature before use or marking the ball by reflective (mirror) or fluorescent material (e.g., NIR-IR fluorescent dye). The temperature changed ball is struck. Using either a thermal imaging camera with an imaging processing unit or a near-infrared (NIR) imaging camera with an imaging processing unit to produce a digital image of a part of the golf course with a potential golf ball location. An image processing technique is applied to produce an enhanced image of the golf ball location. A thermal imaging camera and a NIR imaging camera for locating a golf ball are described. A non-transitory computer readable media is described.

An apparatus for charging phosphorescent items can include a receptacle portion configured to receive at least one phosphorescent item; a light source formed on an inner surface of the receptacle portion, and configured to emit a charging light to charge the at least one phosphorescent item to emit latent light; a power source; and a switch configured to selectively provide power to the light source. The apparatus is portable for easy transport by a person.
