  • Publication number: 20240108960
    Abstract: A shooting system includes a collapsible ball capture support adapted to support a ball capture device and a ball return. The ball return detects a ball captured by the ball capture device and returns the ball to a user in response to the detected ball. To return the ball to the user, the system identifies a location of the user with respect to the shooting system, orients the ball return toward the user, and accelerates the ball along a trajectory based on a distance between the user and the shooting system.

  • Patent number: 10945119
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for facilitating communications between a plurality of devices and subsystems on a first network (for example, a first cable network) and one or more devices and subsystems on a second network (for example, a second cable network) using an integration system on the first network. In one embodiment, the integration system may allow for deployment of new systems or infrastructures that can cooperatively operate with legacy systems already deployed on the first or second networks. Particular embodiments of the subject matter may reduce the cost associated with deploying, upgrading and/or maintaining the devices and systems on the first and/or second networks.
