Publication number: 20230338802Abstract: The Sports equipment with magnets for ball control is the combination of a spherical ball with multiple embedded magnets and a stick that includes a magnet within the head. A player controls movement of the ball using the stick via the interaction of the magnetic fields formed by the magnets in the ball and the magnet in the head. The magnets in the ball are preferably oriented with all matching outward poles. For example, all outward-facing North poles or all outward-facing South poles. Matching the outward facing poles allows the player to be presented with a more consistent magnetic field by the ball as compared to a ball formed from a single magnet, or other lesser number of magnets. The head of the stick has a two-sided magnet, allowing the player to choose between attracting the ball and repulsing the ball with the head of the stick.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventor: Michael Sharpe

Patent number: 10880342Abstract: This disclosure relates to a communication network within which devices participating in a communication session dynamically switch between sending media streams to a participating network device through one of multiple communication channel options. For instance, when establishing a communication session (e.g., a video conference), a sending network device establishes two potential communication channels with a receiving network device participating in the communication session. The sending network device determines which of the two potential communication channels is best suited for providing a media stream related to the communication session (e.g., an audio and/or video media stream), and assigns that communication channel as an active communication channel over which the sending network device provides the media stream to the receiving network device.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: JIVE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Simon Perreault, Michael Sharp
