    Abstract: A system for providing on-line sport competition in real-time. A server computer executes game playing software which is connected via a network to a plurality of player client computers. Hardware accessories at the player's locating permit the entry of real-time playing data such as driving conditions in a race game, which are used by the game playing software executed on the server.

The performance information is sent to the client computers of players engaged in the game. The overall rank of each player is calculated after each competition to group players having similar skill levels and serves as entry criteria in future competitions.

  • Publication number: 20050048664
    Abstract: In many instances blood trails are lost due to the inability of the hunter to locate the sometimes, “invisible” blood spots. This invention will give the hunter a tool that will without question increase the odds of locating this wounded game animal. This invention will allow for a greater recognition of not only trace amounts of spotting blood, but also by locating changes in the animals movements and direction. Locating this blood spot will allow the hunter to continue his or her quest to find the wounded game animal. This invention clearly can reduce the number of game animals that could not be located in the wild, simply because cause of misread or overlooked blood spots.
