Abstract: System and methods for determining time intervals of sporting events having a transmitting device that has multiple light transmitters configured to communicate light signals, a receiving device communicatively connected to the transmitting device via multiple receivers configured to receive the light signals communicated from the transmitters. The light signals being configurable into an electronic gate extending between the transmitting device and the receiving device such that light signals between the transmitters and receivers form the gate, and a pendant device communicatively connected to the transmitting device and the receiving device in a closed network that enables additional similar networks to be established without interfering with the determination of time intervals.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a camera mount system (CMS) releasably mountable to vehicle surfaces via a plurality of leg members, each leg member extending radially from a hub to support an articulating wrist member with a distal suction attachment. In an illustrative example, the articulating wrist may adjust vertically to permit secure sealing of the suction attachment to a local vehicle roof surface. Each of the articulating wrists may couple to a corresponding distal end of one of the leg members via, for example, a ball joint. The wrist angle relative to the leg member may be releasably locked by hand operation of a locking control that, for example, also locks the angle of the wrist relative to the suction attachment. Some systems may advantageously be quickly, releasably and securely mounted from non-planar and/or irregularly shaped vehicle surfaces, for example, roofs, roll cages, hulls, doors, hoods, and bodies.
