  • Publication number: 20120179417
    Abstract: There is a system and a process for determining the timing and position of contestants on a track. This system comprises at least one directional antenna in communication with at least one competitor communication device that can be coupled to each contestant. A remote base station, is in communication with the positioning device, wherein the positioning device determines a contestant time as the contestant passes the projected field and also determines the position of the contestant in relation to an inside guide such as a rail. There is also a process which includes attaching at least one competitor communication device on at least one contestant, starting a race and then recording the position and time for each contestant and transmitted from the competitor communication device to a remote base station.

  • Publication number: 20120046903
    Abstract: A system and a process for determining the timing and position of contestants on a track. This system comprises at least one directional antenna that projects a field from an inside rail to an outside rail on the track. There is also at least one competitor communication device that can be coupled to each contestant. A remote base station, is in communication with the positioning device, wherein the positioning device determines a contestant time as the contestant passes the projected field and also determines the position of the contestant in relation to an inside guide such as a rail. A relay positioned in the center of the track can also be used to increase the signal flowing between the base station and the positioning device. The process for determining the position and timing of each contestant in a race includes the steps of attaching at least one competitor communication device on at least one individual contestant.

  • Publication number: 20050203651
    Abstract: A system and a process for determining the timing and position of contestants on a track. This system comprises at least one loop that has a longitudinal axis that projects from an inside rail to an outside rail on the track. There is also at least one competitor communication device that can be coupled to each contestant. There is a remote base station, which is in communication with the positioning device, wherein the positioning device determines a contestant time as the contestant passes the wire loop and also determines the position of the contestant in relation to an inside guide such as a rail. A relay positioned in the center of the track can also be used to increase the signal flowing between the base station and the positioning device. The process for determining the position and timing of each contestant in a race includes the steps of attaching at least one competitor communication device on at least one individual contestant.

  • Publication number: 20050203714
    Abstract: A system and a process for determining the timing and position of contestants on a track. This system comprises at least one set of two trapezoidal shaped loops that have a longitudinal axis that project from an inside rail to an outside rail on the track. There is also at least one competitor communication device that can be coupled to each contestant. A remote base station, is in communication with the positioning device, wherein the positioning device determines a contestant time as the contestant passes the wire loop and also determines the position of the contestant in relation to an inside guide such as a rail. A relay positioned in the center of the track can also be used to increase the signal flowing between the base station and the positioning device.
