Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for inputting and controlling driving state information of a billiard ball for playing a billiard game in cyberspace and, more specifically, to a device for inputting and controlling driving state information of a billiard ball, in which an actual billiard ball is fixedly mounted on a standard table, wherein the billiard ball is mounted to be freely rotatable, and is hit by an actual billiard cue stick to receive the billiard ball's effecto information, rotation speed, and rotation direction, as well as driving state information for hitting strength and movement direction, and the received information is processed through driving state information processing software to display an image result reflecting the billiard ball's movement direction and movement amount on the actual billiard table, thereby making it possible to enjoy a billiard game in cyberspace as though a real game were being played.

Abstract: A cue stick support for billiards, and, more specifically, to a cue stick support for billiards having an improved grip feeling, in which the cue stick support is placed, in a tube shape, between a finger that forms a bridge and a cue stick, to hold and support the cue stick over a wide surface, thereby achieving accurate hitting by allowing the cue stick to easily move only in the forward and backward directions while preventing the cue stick from shaking up and down and left and right during a preparation motion for hitting a cue ball and a hitting motion. In addition, seating indentations are formed at portions on the outer surface of the cue stick support, where the thumb, index and middle fingers are brought into contact when gripping, thereby improving the grip feeling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a billiards pointer for checking thickness and supporting a cue and, more particularly, to a billiards pointer in which a light irradiation ring is attached to an index finger so that two or more vertical lights are irradiated from the light irradiation ring, each irradiated vertical light, when a cue ball is being hit, simultaneously irradiates the cue ball and a first object ball to predict the degree of thickness by which the cue ball will hit the first object ball, the lights are blocked when the light irradiation is directed upward at a predetermined angle by means of a built-in tilt sensor, and a supporting ring fitted to a thumb is further provided, together with the light irradiation ring, to support the cue from above and below, thereby minimizing left and right rotations of the cue to enable precise hitting, so that beginners can easily understand, and enjoy a game of billiards.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for detecting molecules of interest within a collected sample are described herein. In certain embodiments, self-contained sample analysis systems are disclosed, which include a reusable reader component, a disposable cartridge component, and a disposable sample collection component. The reader component may communicate with a remote computing device for the digital transmission of test protocols and test results. In various disclosed embodiments, the systems, components, and methods are configured to identify the presence, absence, and/or quantity of particular nucleic acids, proteins, or other analytes of interest, for example, in order to test for the presence of one or more pathogens or contaminants in a sample.

Abstract: This system takes in raw cellular material collected using a provided swab, blood collection device, urine collection device, or other sample collection device and transforms that biological material into a digital result, identifying the presence, absence and/or quantity of nucleic acids, proteins, and/or other molecules of interest.

Abstract: A tip insert for a cue shaft having a cavity at the tip has a tip disc to support a tip for striking a ball and an inwardly extending section for bonding to the inside surface of the cavity. The inwardly extending section includes one or more centering flanges and a bonding surface, the centering flanges interfacing with the inner surface of the cavity and enabling a substantially consistence bond distance between the bonding surface and the inner surface of the cavity. The tip insert can be machine from a single piece of material comprising glass fiber-reinforced epoxy laminate sheets, where the individual sheets of the material are oriented perpendicular to the longitude axis of the tip insert to increase the durability and performance of the tip insert when transferring the force from the tip striking a ball.
