Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining the safe lifting capacity of a lifting machine such as a forklift, lift gate or crane. The apparatus measures numerous parameters of the load including weight of the load, the distance from a base position and the angle of the load. The apparatus then displays the parameters and the ratio of the load to the capacity of the lifting machine. If the load exceeds the capacity of the lifting machine, the parameters of the exceeded capacity are stored in memory. In addition, the time and date of the overload can be stored in memory. The apparatus also includes a user interface where real-time and historical events can be viewed.

Abstract: Sports related self-contained impact detection and display device that allows the bat, racquet, club, or ball to determine the intensity of the impact and provide an estimate on the speed, force, direction or distance that would result from the impact. The device is self-contained and allows the device to be mounted within or on the bat, racquet, club or ball. In addition to estimation of speed, force, direction or distance the device can collect multiple impacts and provide minimum, maximum, average, sum and totals of the impacts. The user interface can also provide a graphical representation of the resulting trajectory or flight of the object being impacted.
