International Classification:

A63B 71/00

US Classification:

473588

Abstract:

Aerodynamically augmented hockey puck design uses the dynamics of airflow around a moving body to assist in overcoming the unwanted forces of friction that inherently exist between two opposing surfaces and may be used on either an ice or other non-ice playing surface. The puck influences airflow through a symmetric ducted venting system designed to duct or vent air from multiple inlets positioned above a boundary layer to opposing outlets. The ducted venting system reduces pressure differentials between the inlet and outlet of the air channel. Circular center pocket cavities of the upper and lower planar surfaces of the hockey puck are vented to the opposite edge of the outer cylindrical surface of the hockey puck. Elliptical air channels extend radially from the circular center pocket cavity and are symmetrically placed and positioned above the boundary layer around the outer cylindrical surface of the puck.

US Classification:

382110

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to a method and system that models a seed structure and uses a spectral analysis to identify which morphological seed structures are existent in the seed/seedling. Additionally, this disclosure relates to a method and system that applies multi-spectral analysis using predetermined models of a seed/seedling to identify which morphological structures are existent in the seed/seedling. The information about the existence or non-existence of structures of the seed/seedling is used to classify the seed as having a specific characteristic, for later commercial use or sale. The seed market determines which specific characteristic the method will use to classify the seed/seedling. The individual seed classification may help determine associated seed lot germination values.
