Abstract: A coding toy includes a control object (a figure body) having a control unit, an input unit and an output unit, and a part (an icon block) having a code identifier (an icon) that corresponds to a control detail of the control object. The control unit of the control object obtains code identifier information and positional information from the code identifier indicated by the part disposed in a predetermined position and the position of the part and controls the output unit to a control detail and in a control sequence that are determined by the code identifier information and the positional information.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a rebound device includes a rigid base that has end faces that establish a width of the base and side faces between the end faces. The side faces establish a base length. The length of the base is greater than its width. A resilient member has a first side surface secured to at least one of the side faces of the base. The resilient member has a thickness in a direction parallel to the width of the base between the first side and a second side of the resilient member that faces in an opposite direction from the first side. The second side of the resilient member presents a rebound surface for resiliently deflecting an object away from the resilient member.

Abstract: A card shuffler and dealing module shuffles eight decks of cards (or less) and delivers Baccarat hands (or other games) to a dealer. Cards are randomly selected from two pre-shuffle bins and delivered to a connected or integral dealing module. The card shuffler initially selects and delivers four cards (the minimum number needed for a hand of Baccarat) to a dealing area of the dealing module. Two additional cards (the maximum number of additional cards needed for a hand of Baccarat) are then selected and delivered to the dealing module rear of the four initial cards. Accordingly, up to six cards are available to be dealt during the Baccarat hand. The smart card shuffler tracks the rank of the cards and discerns the future outcome of the Baccarat game and adjusts the cards made available to the dealer via an automatic dealing module cover and card transport mechanism.

Abstract: A breakaway trainer device features a first leg pad mimicking member, a second leg pad mimicking member connected to said second pad-mimicking member; and first and second connectors operable to respectively connect the first and second leg pad mimicking members to first and second posts of a goal net to place the first and second leg pad mimicking members in positions projecting outward from the goal net at a converging angle with one another. The leg pad members feature an optionally adjustable five-hole between their proximal ends, and optionally adjustable scoring holes at their distal ends near the goal posts. Adjustable connectors and/or extendable/collapsible leg pad members enable quick and easy adjustment of the angular positions and forward/rearward reach and placement of the leg pad members to simulated various goaltender positions.

Abstract: A lacrosse face-off training device having a base with at least first and second legs. The first leg extends at least partially along a longitudinal axis. An arm is mounted to the base for rotation about a rotation axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A resistance member extends between the arm and the second leg.

Abstract: A basketball shot practice station with movable positioning of the backboard and basket relative to a stationary shooting position of a user. A projection-mapped court image is projected on the floor of the station from the viewpoint of the user based on the basket position. Cameras image the shooter and the ball flight. A control system analyzes the shooter's technique and ball trajectory, categorizes the shot results, and automatically adjusts the basket position to produce a given success rate by the user. It stores a profile of each user, and updates the user's shooting statistics and skill level based on the shot results of each session. It initializes the profile with a default skill level based on initial input data. It may estimate a user's age, height, and strength based on their image and weight. It increases the shot distance and backboard angles with increasing skill level.

Abstract: A chain-shaped splicing toy is attached to a ball so that a plurality of balls can be spliced with each other. The chain-shaped splicing toy includes a first chain assembly. The first chain assembly has two first coupling portions, a first ring, two first buckling portions, and a plurality of first chain connecting portions. Wherein, when the first chain assembly is attached to the ball, the first coupling portion at one end is coupled to the first ring at the other end. The first buckling portions are buckled to the first coupling portion that is not located at one end of another first chain assembly attached to the other ball so that the balls can be spliced with each other in different shapes and models.

Abstract: A golf swing training device is disclosed that will provide instant feedback on the position of the golfer's clubface at impact. The device consists of a rebounding surface enclosed, and attach to a frame with a safety net, a goal, a golf mat to provide a hitting surface, and a ribbon attached from the bottom of the frame to the golf mat for alignment and shot analysis. The rebounding surface faces opposite the goal such that when a practice golf ball hits it, it will land in the goal if struck properly. Its angle may be adjustable to accommodate different clubs for a proper rebound into the goal. The rebounder surface may be made from a foam material with a fabric covering that when struck, leaves an indention for visual target reference, repels the ball, and indicates ball spin by referencing where the ball landed inside or outside the goal.
