Definitions

  • a camera is installed above the steel tub of a spherical carousel.
  • the movements, the speed, the formation of ellipses ... in short the "track” of the ball is recorded by the camera and projected onto a screen.
  • a decision is made as to where the ball ultimately arrives, namely BEFORE the ball reaches the lower ring indicated on the tub.
  • the path movement becomes visible on the screen by projecting some circles that remain visible from the moment the ball enters the tub to the point of contact with the lower ring indicated on the tub.
  • a grid has been installed in the camera and a second screen numerically indicates the track and the speed. The grid distributes the tub in numbered meeting areas and the corresponding numbers are also configured on the screen.
  • a sequence of certain numbers therefore appears on the screen until the moment the ball hits the lower ring.
  • anyone can use a simple calculation to indicate where the ball arrives at the end and before the ball hits the ring.
  • the software also saved the end result before the lower ring was hit by the ball.
  • the screen may also project the final result before the lower ring is hit by the ball.

Abstract

The movements of a ball in a steel trough are shown on a screen, which makes it possible to calculate which number the ball will finally land in, specifically before a ring, mounted in the trough, is crossed. The capability to do so consists in referring the path displayed on the screen and the associated number to a system, by which means it can easily be calculated that it emerges from a certain combination of numbers and speed that the ball will finally land on a certain number. The quicker a person calculates and reacts, the more easily and accurately he will arrive at the result predicted by the computer. <IMAGE>

Description

Oberhalb der stählernen Wanne eines Kugelkarussels wird eine Kamera montiert. Die Bewegungen, die Geschwindigkeit, Elipsbildung... kurz die "Laufbahn" der Kugel wird mittels der Kamera aufgezeichnet und auf einen Bildschirm projektiert. Anhand der von einem Personal Computer ausgeführten Berechnungen (Software) wird entschieden wo die Kugel letzten Endes anlangt und zwar VOR die Kugel den auf der Wanne angedeuteten unteren Ring erreicht. Die Bahnbewegung wird im Bildschirm sichtbaar durch Projektion einiger Kreise die sichtbar bleiben von dem Augenblick ab wo die Kugel in die Wanne tritt, bis zum Treffpunkt mit den unteren auf der Wanne angedeuteten Ring. In der Kamera wurde ein Raster montiert und ein zweiter Bildschirm deutet numerisch die Laufbahn und die Geschwindigkeit an. Durch den Raster wird die Wanne in numerierten Treffflächen verteilt und die dazugehörenden Nummer werden ebenfalls auf den Bildschirm projektiert. Im Bildschirm erscheinen daher eine Reihenfolge bestimmter Nummer und dies bis zum Augenblick wo die Kugel den unteren Ring trifft. Jedermann kann durch eine einfache Berechnung andeuten wo die Kugel am Ende eintrifft und zwarbevor die Kugel den Ring trifft Auch die Software hat das Endergebnis bereits gespeichert bevor der untere Ring von der Kugel getroffen wurde. Der Bildschirm kann das Endergebnis eventuell auch projektierenbevor der untere Ring von der Kugel getroffen wird.A camera is installed above the steel tub of a spherical carousel. The movements, the speed, the formation of ellipses ... in short the "track" of the ball is recorded by the camera and projected onto a screen. On the basis of the calculations (software) carried out by a personal computer, a decision is made as to where the ball ultimately arrives, namely BEFORE the ball reaches the lower ring indicated on the tub. The path movement becomes visible on the screen by projecting some circles that remain visible from the moment the ball enters the tub to the point of contact with the lower ring indicated on the tub. A grid has been installed in the camera and a second screen numerically indicates the track and the speed. The grid distributes the tub in numbered meeting areas and the corresponding numbers are also configured on the screen. A sequence of certain numbers therefore appears on the screen until the moment the ball hits the lower ring. Anyone can use a simple calculation to indicate where the ball arrives at the end and before the ball hits the ring. The software also saved the end result before the lower ring was hit by the ball. The screen may also project the final result before the lower ring is hit by the ball.

Technische Daten: Die Laufbahn wird mit einer Genauigkeit von 50 Bewegungen pro Sekunde notiert.Technical data: The track is recorded with an accuracy of 50 movements per second.

Claims (1)

2.Schlußfolgerungen: Der Lizenzantrag bezieht sich nur auf die "Kugelkarussel" und kann in einem späteren Stadium erprobt werden auf verwandten Geräten (DELPHI: wo die untere numerierte Scheibe auch dreht im entgegengesetzten Sinne der Kugel) Der Entwurf wird gekennzeichnet durch eine Abbildung der Laufbahn der Kugel sodaß jedermann leicht ausrechnen kann wo die Kugel schließlich eintreffen wird bevor der untere Ring gekreuzt wird. Es gibt ein Bildschirm der die Laufbahn zeigt und ein Bildschirm mit Numerierung dieser Laufbahn und Geschwindigkeit. Die beantragte Lizenz bezieht sich nur auf die Kombination KUGELKARUSSEL - KAMERA - SOFTWARE mit dem Nachdruck auf "Kugelka- russel" und wird nicht beantragt um zum Beispiel die Bewegung eines x-beliebigen Gegenstands zu registrieren. 2. Conclusions: The license application only relates to the "spherical carousel" and can be tested at a later stage on related devices (DELPHI: where the lower numbered disc also rotates in the opposite sense of the sphere) The design is characterized by an illustration of the track of the ball so that anyone can easily calculate where the ball will eventually arrive before the lower ring is crossed. There is a screen showing the track and a screen numbering that track and speed. The license applied for relates only to the combination BALL CAROUSEL - CAMERA - SOFTWARE with the emphasis on "Ku g elka Russel" and is not applied for, for example, to register the movement of any object.
