TRACKING SYSTEM

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.

Pivoting Soccer Goal and Game
20170333769 · 2017-11-23 ·

A pivoting soccer goal mounted on a turntable can rotate so that a ball directed at the goal from nearly any angle will rotate the goal so that the ball will go into the goal. The goal can be seated in a standard golf cup and so can be used on a golf course. In another embodiment, the pivoting soccer goal can be mounted on a mat and set on any suitable field without the need for any holes in the ground.

Tetrahedral Game Goal
20230173359 · 2023-06-08 ·

A goal for a three-dimensional game includes: (a) four congruent hoops each having three equally spaced tee connectors along their circumferences and each hoop being coupled with each other hoop at exactly one tee connector and in a tetrahedral configuration; (b) four congruent generally triangular rebound sections overlapping at the tees and covering the areas outside of the hoops with a trampoline like construction; (c) a tube of net affixed at both ends to the peripheries of any two hoops which two hoops when rotated in opposite directions twists and constricts the net tube so that a ball may not pass into one end of the tube and out the other end; (d) Three distinct congruent hoop shaped goal openings which, when positioned on a playing field, one hoop is the base, one hoop faces generally away from the opposing goal for two points, and two hoops face generally forward for one point;

Concept for transmitting and/or receiving data packets for a system for detecting an event, corresponding to an object crossing over a monitored line

Embodiments relate to a transmitter and/or a receiver for a system for detecting an event which is triggered by an object crossing a monitored line. The transmitter is configured to successively transmit data packets independently of an occurrence of the event. The receiver is configured to receive successive data packets independently of the occurrence of the event. Each data packet comprises information on a number of events which occurred up to a transmission time of the data packet, wherein the transmission times of successive data packets are each located in a predetermined transmission time period.

Basketball training system

A basketball training system includes a server computer and a basketball training machine. The server computer executes a workout module that manages operation of a graphical user interface that presents a graphical representation of a portion of a basketball court and receives user inputs that define a workout program that includes selected ball delivery locations relative to the visual representation. The basketball training machine receives the workout program and delivers basketballs to the selected ball delivery locations.

Ball including one or more sensors to improve pitching performance

A ball, and in particular a baseball or softball, including one or more sensors such as accelerometers and/or inertial measurement units, and systems and methods using the same to improve a pitcher's pitching performance are described herein. In some embodiments, the ball may include one or more inertial measurement units and/or accelerometers capable of monitoring motion of the ball while it is thrown. Various types of pitches may be selected, and in response to the inertial measurement unit(s) and/or accelerometer(s) detecting certain parameters corresponding to a selected pitch, one or more indicators may be caused to perform an action. For example, one or more illuminating elements located on the ball may turn a first color in response to detecting parameters corresponding to the selected pitch.

A multi-sports simulation apparatus includes a housing which includes camera accommodation spaces for attaching side camera units at both ends thereof in a longitudinal direction and a central portion in which an opening is formed so that a central camera unit fixed to a frame passes through the opening.

DPS Sport Ball
20170304685 · 2017-10-26 ·

A DPS (dual pressure system) sport ball incorporating a special, environment friendly casing that forms an exterior surface of the ball, which is bonded to a multiple lining layers to form a laminated sheet. The laminated sheet is sized, printed, and cut out into specifically designed panels using highly optimized and automated specifically developed machines. The panel cut outs are stitched together using a special stitching machine and a specific, compatible bladder is incorporated in the ball. The partially machine stitched ball is then finally closed by manual stitching and the seams are protected with a special adhesive. Resultantly, due to unique construction materials, their unique arrangement, innovative technology, and highly automated manufacturing processes, the DPS sport ball has advantageous durability, playability, controllability and excellent flight characteristics. The DPS sport ball qualifies under the international standards of match/professional balls at a very competitive price.
