Abstract: A computerized tracking system including hardware, software and data collection devices used to deduce events and accumulate statistics about a sporting event. Events and statistics are accumulated based on tracking possession of the ball, or primary object of play. In addition to gathering statistics based on the possession of the ball, the system will also include a method of accumulating additional game statistics by logging specific game events.

Abstract: A weather resistant portable pet shelter, including a rigid shell enclosing an interior space, the rigid shell including a lower base portion below the interior space having at least one external, downwardly facing element having a predetermined shape, a side wall portion extending at least substantially around the interior space and including a door opening connecting therewith, and an upper roof portion above the space and including a peripheral portion therearound having an external dish shaped structure defining an upwardly open concave region adapted for receiving and supporting a pet or a pet bed on the roof portion, the external dish shaped structure being configured for mating with and supporting the at least one downwardly facing element of the base portion such that a second pet shelter including the at least one downwardly facing element can be supported by the shell above the roof portion. The pet shelter can be configured for use as a pet entertainer, and also a carrier.

Abstract: The feed system for a honing machine provides a capability to dynamically correct in real time errors in bore size inferred arising from variations in feed force, and a method of operation of the same. The system allows a user to select between rate and force controlled honing modes, which provides one or more of the advantages of both modes. The system provides capabilities for automatic rapid automatic bore wall detection, compensation for elasticity of elements of the feed system and honing tool, and automatic tool protection. The system is automatically operable using feed force, feed rate and positional information for honing a work piece to one or more target parameters, such as one or more in-process sizes and a final size.

Abstract: The dual flange hopper tee or other fitting connects to the bottom of a hopper for use in unloading the contents thereof, and has a relatively low profile for ground clearance. When used in conjunction with a valve, the tee or other fitting can be removed from the hopper without requiring removal of the valve, and can allow opening of the valve without interfering with flow through a horizontal pipe section of the fitting.
