A sports game is played on a field or court having opposing goals, each goal having a plurality of striking pads at least 12 feet above the height of the field or court. Two teams are provided, each having at least four players. A ball of high bouncing ability and capability is used. Each opposing goal has a backboard and preferably three scoring pads either on the backboard or behind the backboard. The object of a team is to throw or smack the ball so as to strike a scoring pad and thereby score points.

A spinner assembly for wheels for bicycles and other vehicles is provided, which moves independently of the wheel axle and which can easily be adapted to fit a variety of axle sizes. The spinner assembly that is comprised of a spinner and a hub lock, the hub lock adapted to fit between the wheel hub and the spinner. The spinner may be formed of one unitary wheel with a slit from its outer circumference to its inner opening, or it may be split into multiple parts. The hub lock is provided in multiple parts. The spinner assembly is provided in multiple parts so that it can be slipped through the spokes of the bicycle wheel and easily assembled over the hub.

A system and method for geolocation of wireless transmitters and a business method for collecting a fee for the geolocation. The system includes multiple cell towers and a central system administrator linked to the cell towers. Each cell tower includes a geolocation processor, capable of performing geolocation calculations for wireless transmitters, and a database. The method includes receiving a request for geolocation of a wireless transmitter, identifying the wireless transmitter in the vicinity of a plurality of cell towers, collecting the raw signal information generated by the identified wireless transmitter that is received at the primary cell tower and adjacent cell towers, calculating the geolocation of the wireless transmitter, recording the geolocation information, and disseminating the geolocation information to the requester or a third party. The business method includes receiving a request for geolocation of a wireless transmitter, calculating the geolocation, recording the geolocation information, disseminating the geolocation information to the requester or a third party, and charging a fee for processing the geolocation request.

An exercise and/or play hoop, made of semi-rigid plastic tubing, is partially filed with water (30) to between ⅙ and ½ full, most preferably ¼ full. The water improves the dynamics of the hoop and makes it easier to keep the hoop elevated by gyration. The hoop is made of a length of hoop tube (10) bent into a circle. A coupling tube (20) is inserted where the ends (11, 12) abut, spanning the joint. The coupling tube includes a bore (25) through which the liquid flows circumferentially around inside the hoop, and past the joint. The coupling tube is formed of a hard and strong inner tube and a softer, somewhat compressible outer sheath which forms a seal with the inside of the hoop tube. A decorative, preferably iridescent sheet (18) may cover the hoop.

An embodiment of a graphene device includes a layered structure, first and second electrodes, and a dopant island. The layered structure includes a conductive layer, an insulating layer, and a graphene layer. The electrodes are coupled to the graphene layer. The dopant island is coupled to an exposed surface of the graphene layer between the electrodes. An embodiment of a method of using a graphene device includes providing the graphene device. A voltage is applied to the conductive layer of the graphene device. Another embodiment of a method of using a graphene device includes providing the graphene device without the dopant island. A dopant island is placed on an exposed surface of the graphene layer between the electrodes. A voltage is applied to the conductive layer of the graphene device. A response of the dopant island to the voltage is observed.
