A target is disclosed for use in a tossing game. The target includes a base and a collapsible ladder assembly hingedly connected to the base. The ladder assembly includes a pair of telescoping vertical members and multiple horizontal rungs connected therebetween. A described tossing game system includes a pair of such targets.

A system according to the present invention reads image pickup signals for all lines from a CCD image sensor and inputs these signals to a delay circuit 20. The system retrieves signals [H0D] to [H5D] for six contiguous lines and sends these signals to a vertical spatial phase synchronization filter 37 via a horizontal spatial phase synchronization filter 36. These filters 36 and 37 synchronize horizontal and vertical spatial phases. The system performs the following operations on the basis of C...

A hand-to-hand game that uses a touch pad sensor and a controller to count the number of times the touch pad sensor is touched. The controller and touch pad are a wearable electronic scoring device that is attached to the body of a person through an attaching device.

A solid-state image sensor capable of enhancing efficient use of incident light and increasing the resolution of an image and a signal processing method therefore are disclosed. A digital camera includes an image pickup section having a photosensitive array in which photosensitive cells or photodiodes are arranged. Signal charges, or pixel data, are read out of the photodiodes, two lines at a time, three lines at a time, or three lines at a time with line-by-line shift in accordance with a color...

An interpolation method for producing full color images is disclosed. For a blue pixel, an interpolated green value is determined by green values of adjacent green pixels, and an interpolated red value is determined by red values of neighboring red pixels and a modification value. For a red pixel, an interpolated green value is determined by green values of adjacent green pixels, and an interpolated blue value is determined by blue values of neighboring blue pixels and a modification value. For ...

An all-pixel reading image sensor or a noninterlaced output image sensor, in which an interlaced signal can selectively be output without the use of a frame memory or the like as an external circuit. For outputting an interlaced signal from a three-layer three-phase drive all-pixel reading CCD image sensor, vertical shift registers are supplied with first through third vertical transfer pulses to transfer signal charges in the pixels of an nth line, for example, to a horizontal shift register, a...

A method and apparatus for operating an image sensing device that performs photoelectric conversion and stores the converted charges so that the apparatus obtains a smooth moving image. The pixels of the image sensing device are arranged in two dimensions and, preferably, covered with a complementary color filter of magenta, green, cyan, and yellow. Different combinations of two of these four colors alternate on the even and odd rows of pixels in such a manner that the filter is arranged in a ch...

A quoit board and method of manufacture of a quoit board that is significantly lighter than a conventional slate quoit board, the board portion of which is made from a plastic material and wherein the surface of the plastic is treated to provide a suitable playing surface for receiving rubber quoits tossed at such surface during play.

A system and method for processing mosaiced or raw data images operates to concurrently demosaic and resize the mosaiced images in a combined process. The combined demosaic/resize process allows the system to perform demosaicing and resizing more efficiently than conventional systems, which perform these processes separately and sequentially. Furthermore, the combined demosaic/resize process allows the system to produce demosaiced and resized images of higher quality as compared to demosaiced an...

A hand-to-hand game that uses a touch pad sensor and a controller to count the number of times the touch pad sensor is touched. The controller and touch pad are a wearable electronic scoring device that is attached to the body of a person through an attaching device.
