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. Through the grid, the tub is distributed in numbered meeting areas and the associated 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 indicate by a simple calculation where the ball arrives at the end and before the ball hits the ring.
- the software also saved the final result before the lower ring was hit by the ball.
- the screen can also project the final result before the lower ring is hit by the ball.
- the observation rings are not ground into the metal tub, as this would influence the path followed; Rather, they are visible on the screen and can possibly be projected onto the steel tub by a light beam (or laser).
- the path of the ball can also be reproduced using a laser

Abstract
Die Bewegungen einer Kugel in einer stählernen Wanne werden auf einem Bildschirm gezeigt was es ermöglicht auszurechnen in welche Nummer die Kugel schließlich eintreffen wird und zwar bevor ein in der Wanne montierter Ring gekreuzt wird. Die Fähigkeit besteht darin die auf dem Bildschirm vorgeführte Bahn und die dazugehörenden Nummer zu einem System zurückkzuführen wodurch sehr leicht ausgerechnet werden kann daß aus einer bestimmten Nummerkombination und Geschwindigkeit hervorgeht daß die Kugel schließlich in eine bestimmte Nummer eintreffen wird. Je schneller man rechnet und reagiert, desto leichter und genauer wird man an dem von dem Komputer vorausgesetzten Ergebnis herankommen.The movements of a ball in a steel tub are shown on a screen, which makes it possible to calculate the number in which the ball will finally arrive before a ring mounted in the tub is crossed. The ability consists in returning the path shown on the screen and the associated number to a system, which makes it very easy to calculate that from a certain combination of numbers and speeds it can be seen that the ball will finally arrive at a certain number. The faster you calculate and react, the easier and more precisely you will get the result that the computer requires.
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 zwar bevor 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 projektieren bevor 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. Through the grid, the tub is distributed in numbered meeting areas and the associated 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 indicate by a simple calculation where the ball arrives at the end and before the ball hits the ring. The software also saved the final result before the lower ring was hit by the ball. The screen can also project the final result before the lower ring is hit by the ball.
Nach der Wiedergabe des gefolgten Weges auf dem Bildschirm wird dieser ausgedruckt, so dass der Spieler untersuchen kann, wie die wiedergegebenen Bewegungen, Schnellheit, Ellipsenformung... (kurzum Koordinaten) zu einem bestimmten Endresultat führen. Die Beobachtungsringe werden nicht in die metallene Wanne geschliffen, da dieses den gefolgten Weg beeinflussen würden; sie sind vielmehr auf dem Bildschirm sichtbar und können eventuell durch ein Lichtbündel (oder Laser) auf der stählernen Wanne projeziert werden. Der Weg der Kugel kann unter anderem auch mittels eines Lasers wiedergegeben werdenAfter the path shown on the screen has been reproduced, it is printed out so that the player can investigate how the reproduced movements, speed, elliptical shape ... (in short, coordinates) lead to a specific end result. The observation rings are not ground into the metal tub, as this would influence the path followed; Rather, they are visible on the screen and can possibly be projected onto the steel tub by a light beam (or laser). The path of the ball can also be reproduced using a laser
Claims (1)
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 "Kugelkarussel" und wird nicht beantragt um zum Beispiel die Bewegung eines x-beliebigen Gegenstands zu registrieren.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 BULLET CAROUSEL - CAMERA - SOFTWARE with emphasis on "BULLET CAROUSEL" and is not applied for, for example, to register the movement of any object.
