Abstract: An action-sports ramp having a substantially rigid panel and a support structure. The substantially rigid panel includes multiple layers of cured, resin-saturated paper. An outermost layer of the layers of paper has texturing. The panel forms a sloping surface. The support structure is configured to support an action-sports rider and to support the panel at a side of the panel opposite the outermost layer.

Abstract: An apparatus for a digital imaging device includes a housing, a controller within the housing, and at least one illumination element in communication with the controller. The controller is configured to control at least one of an intensity and/or volume of light emitted by the at least one illumination element in dependence upon a distance of the apparatus from a target surface.

Abstract: A color tag comprises a substrate having a visually detectable tint associated with a portion thereof and a code which reflects color information relating to individual color parameters of said visually detectable tint, as well as identity information that specifically identifies said color tag itself.

Abstract: A system and method for harmonizing evaluation results between a plurality of separate digital data gathering devices includes first and second digital data gathering devices each having a lens through which the digital data gathering devices are operative to accept incoming light. The system further includes a calibration device to perform a first initial calibration of the first digital data gathering device during a first initial calibration exposure of the first digital data gathering device, and a second initial calibration of the second digital data gathering device during a second initial calibration exposure of the second digital data gathering device. The first and the second digital data gathering devices adjust subsequent exposures in dependence upon the first and the second initial calibrations, such that the subsequent exposures obtained by the first and the second digital data gathering devices are harmonized with one another through use of the common calibration device.

Abstract: An evaluation apparatus is proposed for a digital data gathering device that accepts incoming light through a lens of the digital data gathering device. The evaluation apparatus includes a light shroud having an enclosing wall, which substantially surrounds the lens and extends a predetermined distance outward, forming a distal edge portion. An illumination source is provided to be in selective communication with an interior of the light shroud. The light shroud prevents ambient light from entering the interior of the light shroud when a substantial entirety of the distal edge portion of the enclosing wall is in touching contact with an object.
