Publication number: 20100285856Abstract: A single user fantasy game, including a database of VFGMs, each having strategies and player rankings supplied by or for certain human remote GMs, together with a database of real-world athlete/participants. A draft is launched, with the user and at least selected VFGMs as participants. In that draft, the user and the VFGMs make selections of athlete/participants according to predetermined draft rules. Those selections made by the user and by the VFGMs are then saved as respective teams in a team database. Once the teams are selected, the performance of the teams is determined, using a database of real-world performances/statistics, for the athlete/participants in the database of athlete/participants, from a particular time period and according to a set of fantasy game scoring rules. A winner is determined from among the user and the VFGMs, based on the performance of the teams for the particular time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2009Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: WORLD SPORTS TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: Jeffrey Thomas

Publication number: 20040225236Abstract: The invention disclosed includes a head gear to be worn when it is desirable to have an indication of the wearer's head motion or position. The head gear may be incorporated into an existing article of head wear. The incorporation may be permanent, or the head gear may be alternatively attached to various articles of head wear. Integral with the head gear are motion and/or position sensing devices to indicate the motion or position of the wearer's head. The data from the sensors may be fed into a digital processor to process the sensed data and derive a signal indicative of the wearer's head motion or position. Some embodiments employ a programmable processor to adapt the head gear to a variety of applications. The signal indicative of head motion or position may be fed into an indicator to provide the wearer with a recognizable feedback signal indicative of head motion or position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2004Publication date: November 11, 2004Applicant: Creative Sports Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark Winthrop Wheeler, Mark William Donahue, Roger David Socci, Robert L.

Patent number: 6331168Abstract: Apparatus and method for using head gear to sense the motion of the wearer's head and output a signal indicative of the motion. Sensors are used to detect head motion about two mutually perpendicular axes. The sensor signal is fed into a microprocessor to compute a feedback signal indicative of the deviation of the motion from a desired, pre-programmed path. The feedback signal is delivered to an indicator to alert the wearer of the head motion. The device is adaptable to monitor head motions for various athletic, sporting and safety applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2000Date of Patent: December 18, 2001Assignee: Creative Sports Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Roger David Socci, Robert Leslie Wakenight

Patent number: 6100458Abstract: A neck for a stringed musical instrument includes a foam core formed with a peghead and layers of reinforcing material positioned over the foam core. A surfacing material is bonded to the layers of reinforcing material and to the foam core to establish an external surface for the neck. The musical instrument includes a body attached to the neck and a truss rod assembly that is embedded in the foam core is adjustable to move the peghead relative to the body for tuning purposes. In manufacture, the foam core is molded in a primary mold. The layers of reinforcing material are then positioned over the foam core to create a preform assembly. Next, a surfacing material is shaped by the cavity surface of a secondary mold and the preform assembly is placed in the secondary mold. When the secondary mold is closed, a vacuum is drawn in its cavity and resin is injected into the cavity to bond the preform assembly to the surfacing material for manufacture of the neck.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1999Date of Patent: August 8, 2000Assignee: Horizon Sports Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Martin W. Carrington, Douglas J. Baxendell, Andre Terzaghi
