Abstract: An apparatus or system for enhancing an edge of a sporting court may include a first surface configured to engage with a surface of the sporting court and a second surface coupled to the first surface and configured to receive a ball and retain the ball in engagement with the second surface. The second surface may comprise a plurality of sub-surfaces, wherein one of the sub-surfaces may comprise a radial curve or at least one peak and at least one trough. The apparatus may comprise a retaining mechanism configured to retain at least one of the first surface or the second surface adjacent a court edge barrier.

Abstract: A liquid-tight fitting includes a connector, a seal, and a fastener member. The connector has a first and a second end, a shoulder located between the first and second ends, and a segment that extends from the shoulder to the first end. The segment has an outer surface. The seal has an inner surface in contact with the outer surface of the segment, an outer edge, and first and second seal ends joining the inner surface and the outer edge. The seal surrounds a portion of the segment such that the first seal end abuts against the shoulder. The fastener member is moveably secured to the first end of the connector, and has an end that engages the second seal end to cause the seal to compress between the shoulder and the fastener member. The seal member is adapted to deform toward the segment when compressed.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may calculate and inform a consumer of company privacy scores corresponding to companies with which the consumer has a corresponding account, or for a company associated with a web site that a consumer may visit. A consumer privacy score may also be determined, based on the company privacy scores. The company privacy scores may be based on a calculation including elements of a privacy practice of the corresponding company and elements of a privacy policy of the corresponding company.

Abstract: Embodiments of PUF systems utilizing photonic circuits to generate a PUF signature based on a state of polarization of photons are disclosed. Embodiments of such PUFs may comprise substantially the same circuitry that may be operated in the classical domain or the quantum domain.

Abstract: An accessory device useful for any of training, compliance, safety, and accountability of individuals in the use of firearms. An embodiment comprises a circuit board and housing with a means for attaching the accessory to a firearm. The circuit board may comprise an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GPS receiver, memory to store data, a means for transmitting data, and a microprocessor unit for controlling operations of the printed circuit board. The IMU may comprise a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer. The accessory can provide position and movement data of such accuracy as to disclose, after transmission and analysis, a firearm user's stability prior to and during discharge, how well the user managed recoil from the discharge, and how quickly the user returned to a starting position following discharge. A reviewer may also be able to discern movements such as those caused by a user's breathing or involuntary muscle contractions.

Abstract: An exercise device can include a pair of pedal members, each of which can be rotatably connected on at least one end to a planet gear that is rotatable about a sun gear on each side of the device. The pedal members and the planet gears can be rotated to provide an elliptical exercise motion. The device can include a mechanism for simultaneously rotating each of the sun gears together to change the orientation of the elliptical exercise motion relative to a user. The orientation of an elliptical exercise motion can be changed dynamically from one orientation to another, for example, from horizontal to uphill or downhill, during a particular workout period. The exercise device can change the orientation of an elliptical exercise motion while maintaining a user's ankles at a substantially constant angle during the exercise cycle.
