Filed: 1996-01-22
Granted: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A hockey rink is equipped with electronic recording and monitoring devices which monitor and record play and practice activities of players on the rink. In one embodiment, the electronic recording and monitoring devices include one or more mechanized robots in human form designed to resemble hockey players. In one embodiment, the robots are suspended from a movable overhead track and power by motorized cars along a variety of controllable skating patterns. The robots are equipped with sensors which, when impacted by a skater, provide measurable data regarding the skater's performance. The overhead tracks from which the robots are suspended may be raised to a position far above the ice surface when robots are not in use. The invention also pertains to a tutorial and interactive computer system for self instruction. An image of a hockey player controlled by the player/student is juxtaposed to or superimposed upon or otherwise contrasted to the image of an "ideal" or "master" hockey player(s) on the computer display. The player/student manipulates the "controlled" image of a hockey player in an effort to emulate the movements of the ideal player.

Title: Improved inline solid state polymerization of PET flakes for manufacturing plastic strap by removing non-crystalline materials from recycled PET
Inventor: ROBINSON WILLIAM D
IPC: C08J11/06
Filed: 1999-09-29
Granted: 2000-06-22
Abstract: A process for preparing a PET flake mixture for use in connection with the fabrication of high performance plastic strapping comprises the steps of initially collecting post consumer and non post consumer PET materials having an initially wide range of relatively low intrinsic viscosity (IV) values with a relatively low average intrinsic viscosity (IV) value, and processing the same through solid state polymerization (SSP) so as to obtain a wide range of relatively high intrinsic viscosity (IV) values with a relatively high average intrinsic viscosity (IV) value. The initially collected materials are chopped into flakes and chunks, and the chunks are removed by a suitable destoner so as to render the remaining mixture comprised substantially entirely of flake materials or segments. This is advantageous because the flake segments, as opposed to the chunk segments, are able to be substantially increased in intrinsic viscosity (IV) values and within a relatively short period of time, and in addition, the flake segments are essentially crystalline while the chunk segments are essentially non-crystalline which would otherwise undergo rapid crystallization and generate a substantial amount of heat of crystallization. Such heat of crystallization undesirably raises the temperature of the polymerization process whereby the materials tend to become sticky and agglomerate thereby impeding the flow of the materials being processed as well as tending to clog components of the processing apparatus.
