Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080297070 | Programmable lighting unit and remote control for a programmable lighting unit - A programmable lighting unit includes a radio interface to be remote controlled by a radio remote control. In particular, the remote control sends parameter data which is supplied to parameter adjustment means in the programmable lighting unit which programs the parameter data such that a controller of the programmable lighting unit controls a controllable lamp dependent on the parameter data. In particular, the controller is adapted to be programmed using the one or the multiple parameters such that a reaction by the controller to the control data depends on the one or the multiple parameters. | 12-04-2008 |
20090108835 | Concept for Generating a Magnetic Field in a Goal Area for Taking a Goal Decision - A device for generating a magnetic field in a goal area with at least two coils arranged in parallel to a goal area defined and bounded by a goal, wherein a first coil is attached in an area behind the goal and a second coil is attached closer to the goal than the first coil or identical to the goal, wherein the first coil and the second coil respectively have a coil impedance, wherein the coil impedance of the second coil is set so that a magnetic field of the second coil generated due to a magnetic field of the first coil reduces the magnetic field of the first coil at a location within the second coil by at least 20%. | 04-30-2009 |
20100181996 | MOVEMENT RANGE FOR A MOBILE OBJECT AND EVALUATION APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A MOBILE OBJECT - In order to determine a position of a mobile object relative to a surface within a movement range that comprises a ground which the surface intersects along a line of intersection, a magnetic field of a first elongate magnetic field-generating object which is located at a first distance from the line of intersection is measured, and a magnetic field of a second elongate magnetic field-generating object that is located in or on the ground, at a second distance on another side of the line of intersection, is measured. Based on a comparison between the measured magnetic fields, it is determined whether the mobile object is located in front of or behind the surface. A generator that triggers the magnetic field-generating objects in a multiplex mode is provided for distinguishing which magnetic field-generating object generates which magnetic field. The magnetic field-generating objects can comprise forward conductors of a conductor loop, oppositely wound coils, or forward/return conductor combinations having a magnetically shielded return conductor. | 07-22-2010 |

20110119022 | Device and Method for Measuring a Shot Force Exerted on a Movable Game Device - For measuring a shot force exerted on a movable game device, a time curve of the acceleration during the shot or of the pressure within the game device during the shot is recorded and processed to obtain an energy measure, said energy measure then serving to provide information about the shot force. | 05-19-2011 |
20110156868 | SYSTEM UND VERFAHREN ZUR AUTOMATISIERTEN ANALYSE EINES WETTKAMPFVERLAUFES - System, consisting of at least one active or passive position detection system which sends data about the position of at least one athlete to a central evaluation unit; and a central evaluation unit which stores received positional data in a database, automatically calculates a movement pattern consisting of at least the covered distance and the mean velocity from the positional data, and represents the movement pattern on a display. | 06-30-2011 |
20110175744 | Systems and Method for the Mobile Evaluation of Cushioning Properties of Shoes - Shoe having at least one pressure sensor provided in the shoe cushioning element, as well as system components for emitting, receiving and evaluating the signals of the sensor. | 07-21-2011 |
20110241560 | APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A DRIVE SIGNAL FOR A LAMP DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A DRIVE SIGNAL FOR A LAMP DEVICE - An apparatus for generating a drive signal for a lamp device comprises a pulse generator for generating a first pulse train in response to a first brightness request for a first brightness and for generating a second pulse train in response to a second brightness request for a second brightness. The first pulse train has a first frequency and the second pulse train has a different second frequency. The second pulse train comprises two neighboring pulses of the first pulse train and comprises a further pulse between the two neighboring pulses, the further pulse not being comprised in the first pulse train. | 10-06-2011 |

20120002055 | Correlation of position data that are acquired by means of a video tracking system with a second localization system - The invention relates to a video tracking system which determines the position of objects, e.g. players in a football match, by evaluating video image information. According to the present invention, the video tracking system is additionally provided with an independent positioning system which is preferably used in instances when the video-based position detection is faulty or does not work at all. According to one embodiment, the independent positioning system is GPS based, each football player carrying a portable GPS module which transmits the position data to the system by radio. Additional data, such as heart rate or acceleration, can also be transmitted. | 01-05-2012 |
20120041709 | CONCEPT FOR MAKING GOAL DECISIONS BY MEANS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS - A method for deciding whether a movable object has been brought through a goal having a goal area defined by the goal, an internal magnetic field being measurable, within the goal area or in parallel with the goal area, which is larger than an external magnetic field present outside the goal area, the method including a step of generating the internal magnetic field within the goal, a step of providing information about a magnetic field experienced by the movable object, and a step of evaluating the information about the magnetic field to provide a goal statement by means of a detection that the movable object has passed through the internal magnetic field. | 02-16-2012 |
