An object toss game has a ball connected to an elastic cord. The ball has a surface with fasteners. Two board assemblies are positioned at a distance apart. Pads are arranged on a top panel of each board assembly. Players toss the ball toward a pad on the board to remove the pad from the top panel. The ball then bounces from the top panel to remove the pad from the top panel. The first player to remove the pads from a board positioned opposite to the player wins the game. Alternately, players take turns tossing darts at regions on the board assemblies that are assigned points.

Planar Solutions to Object-Tracking Problems
20180154232 · 2018-06-07 · ·

The present invention overcomes deficiencies of existing line-calling devices by leveraging a single fixed-location camera to identify object state conditions that resolve object-tracking problems that otherwise require multi-camera or moving-camera solutions. Though described in the context of an automated tennis line-calling device, the invention is equally applicable to other object-tracking problems that can be resolved by identifying object state conditions without employing moving or multiple cameras. The tennis line-calling device is attached to (or at least located in proximity to) the net post of a tennis court, thereby enabling a close-up view of both static (court lines) and moving (ball, players, etc.) objects. In one embodiment, integration of a video camera system with line-calling functionality provides additional benefits, including attachment of a single turnkey device to any tennis net post so as to provide automated line-calling functionality without the need for any external video cameras or processing functionality.

A method is provided of producing and assembling a multi-part surface-mountable physical-activity lamina for use in aiding or supplementing a physical-activity in a physical-activity environment. There is a step a] of providing a first graphic design model of the lamina; and b] segmenting the first graphic design model into a plurality of graphic design model portions. A step c] follows of arranging the graphic design model portions into a more compact second graphic design defining a reduced surface area; and then d] the second graphic design being applied to a lamina substrate having another surface area. The lamina substrate is then separated into lamina elements corresponding to the graphic design model portions, followed by a step e] of assembling the lamina elements onto a mounting surface at a physical-activity environment to form the surface-mountable physical-activity lamina.
