Abstract: A precision ball-handling training tool develops accuracy and proficiency in basketball control of an athlete performing no-look dribbling of a basketball. A non-opaque tubular member terminating in a body member forms a ring having a perimeter that defines an open space inside the perimeter. A light source is positioned within the tubular member to emit light from and along its length. The emitted light is sufficiently intense to be perceived by the athlete performing no-look dribbling of the basketball within the open space. Opposed light beam switch components positioned at the perimeter of the ring define a line-of-sight across the open space. Power supply and processor circuitry contained in the body member responds to instances of a basketball obstructing the line-of-sight during a basketball dribbling exercise by causing momentary light emissions from the light source to indicate whenever the athlete dribbles the basketball within the open space of the ring.

Abstract: An adaptive switch mode LED driver provides an intelligent approach to driving multiple strings of LEDs. The LED driver determines an optimal current level for each LED channel from a limited set of allowed currents.
