Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes instructing a human player to perform a plurality of different actions in a determined order with a physical basketball, including actions of bouncing the physical basketball, and obtaining, with one or more electronic sensors, data that characterizes motion of the physical basketball being handled by the human player who is performing the instructed actions at a location. The method also includes communicating the data from the sensors to a console videogame system that is proximate to the location, and graphically representing, in a videogame displayed on a display device, performance by the human player, the performance being affected by the captured data, the representation of performance by the human player being compared against a standard of performance.

Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing free flight of a body including an inertial measurement unit having at least one accelerometer continuously measuring three orthogonal axes of acceleration and outputting data representative thereof and a processing unit operably receiving the data and determining three components of an angular velocity of the body during free flight.

Abstract: Key exchange methods, apparati, and computer-readable media for a cryptographic communication system. The system, which employs a novel combination of multiple channel communication, symmetric cryptography, and asymmetric cryptography, allows an entity A to bootstrap the exchange of cryptographic secrets EQB to a second entity B through an alternate communication channel 30 for the transmission of a cryptographically secure message M. The system is secure against various passive and active attacks. The encryption key transfer is briefly vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, but this can be prevented in preferred embodiments.

Abstract: A surgical system includes a control device, a touch screen display, and a GUI displayed on the touch screen display. A parameter icon has a parameter area, a first set point, a second set point, a parameter line extending from the first set point to the second set point, and a value orb located on the parameter line. The location of the value orb on the parameter line corresponds to a control position of the control device. A parameter value area is located under the parameter line and extends from the first set point to the value orb. A numerical parameter value is located in the parameter area. The parameter line represents a range of parameter values from the first set point to the second set point, and when the control device is a foot pedal, a range of travel of the foot pedal.
