Abstract: The relay race gloves are provided to each runner participating in the relay race. That being said, there are a plurality of relay race gloves included, and each relay race glove is able to detect the presence of one another via a contact sensor. The contact sensor is ideally provided on a palm surface of the respective relay race glove such that during a relay race the two runners would simply touch each others hands in a manner consistent with a palm-to-palm clap in order for the contact sensors to detect one another, and initiate an alarm sequence. Each relay race glove includes a processing member that is wired to the contact sensor. The processing member is also wired to a transmitter, a receiver, a powering member, and a speaker.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for allowing a customer to purchase a house at an affordable price, where the house has been leased to the consumer under mutually agreed terms between the consumer and a leasing company. More specifically, the method and system facilitates a financial service alternative to conventional financial services, which enables a consumer first to select a house to lease and then optionally to purchase the leased house at a fixed residual purchase price during or at the end of the lease term. The consumer is directed to select a market available “for sale” residential real property to be leased. The selected house is initially purchased by a home leasing company for providing the alternative financial service on the selected house. The residual purchase price is determined based on the acquisition cost plus an appreciation factor based on lease terms and qualifications of the consumer.
