Abstract: A system for energy-usage optimization is a system that monitors the power delivered to at least one power distribution system. Each power distribution system includes at least one power storage unit and a multiway additive switch. The multiway additive switch enables the power distribution system to selectively provide power from an sub-circuit, from the at least one power storage unit, and a combination of both the sub-circuit and the at least one power storage unit. The system may serve as a stand-alone apparatus that is connected in between the sub-circuit, through an outlet, and an electrical load. The system increases power delivery, reducing the wait-time of an electrical load to reach maximum performance. Electrical loads, preferably appliances, are no longer limited by instantaneous power availability of the sub-circuit.

Abstract: A method of providing feedback for a piece of cue-sport equipment, a cue ball or cue stick, during a game play first collect spatial positioning and orientation data from a plurality of measurement sensors that is integrated into the cue-sport equipment. Then, the collected data is analyzed to generate a virtual movement model of the cue-sport equipment as the virtual movement model includes a calculated impact force diagram, an animated travel path, and a calculated absolute orientation for the cue-sport equipment. Then, the player can view the virtual movement model through an external computing device to improve their cue-sport skills effectively and efficiently.
