Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and systems for facilitating umpires officiating a baseball game. According to one embodiment, a mobile device is disclosed for facilitating an umpire of a baseball game. The mobile device includes a processor, a memory electrically coupled with the processor, a user interface electrically coupled with the processor, a haptic feedback device electrically coupled with the processor, and a wireless transceiver electrically coupled with the processor. The processor is configured for (1) receiving a start pitch clock selection via the user interface; (2) upon receiving the start pitch clock selection via the user interface, transmitting a start pitch clock device message via the wireless transceiver to an access point; (3) receiving a start pitch clock access point acknowledgment message from the access point; and (4) upon receiving the start pitch clock access point acknowledgment message, momentarily activating the haptic feedback device.

The present application discloses a system and a method for calculating a droplet delay time in a liquid flow of a sorting device. The system includes: a first laser source configured to emit a first laser beam to a liquid flow of a sorting device, the first laser beam and the liquid flow intersecting at a first laser interrogation point; a second laser source configured to emit a second laser beam to the liquid flow, the second laser beam and the liquid flow intersecting at a second laser interrogation point; and a droplet delay time calculation unit configured to calculate, based on of the time when the particle in the liquid flow passes through the first and second laser interrogation point and the time when the particle passes through the second laser interrogation point, a first delay time, and calculate, a droplet delay time.

The present application discloses a system and method for calculating a droplet delay time in a liquid flow of a sorting device and a sorting device, the system including a first laser source configured to emit a first laser beam into the liquid flow of the sorting device, where the first laser beam and the liquid flow intersect at a first laser reference point located in a nozzle system of the sorting device, a second laser source configured to emit a second laser beam into the liquid flow, where the second laser beam and the liquid flow intersect at a second laser reference point located outside the nozzle system, and a droplet delay time calculation unit configured to calculate the droplet delay time.

Apparatuses and methods for controlling a vehicle can include at least two buttons disposed on a steering wheel, a processor electrically connected to the at least two buttons, and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor, wherein the processor can map and set vehicle functions to the at least two buttons, detect a button manipulated among the at least two buttons, and execute a vehicle function mapped to the manipulated button based on the vehicle function mapped to the manipulated button and a current vehicle state.

The present application provides a timer, comprising a base, a driving shaft, and an indicator arm, wherein the driving shaft is rotatably mounted on the base and selectively rotates relative to the base; the indicator arm comprises a second holder and a plurality of clock blocks; the second holder is rotatably connected to the driving shaft; each clock block comprises a second block body and a second gear; the second block body is rotatably connected to the second holder; the second gear is fixedly connected to the second block body; the second gear selectively rotates around the driving shaft; at least one second protrusion is correspondingly provided on a rotation path of the second gear around the driving shaft; the second gear is provided with second tooth slots; the second protrusion selectively extends into the second tooth slots to drive the second gear to rotate relative to the second holder, thereby driving the clock blocks to rotate relative to the second holder.

The present application provides a racetrack timing method, which is used in a vehicle and includes: a vehicle-mounted positioner obtaining vehicle position information regarding a current position of the vehicle in real time, and sending the vehicle position information to a vehicle-mounted controller, the vehicle-mounted controller determining whether the vehicle position information matches a preset racetrack timing position at a preset racetrack; and the vehicle-mounted controller performing a timing operation once the vehicle position information matches the preset racetrack timing position. The present application further provides a racetrack timing system, an apparatus, a storage medium, and a vehicle.

A tachymeter device for indicating an average speed of a moving object and a wristwatch comprising such a tachymeter device comprise a timer and an activator for manually starting the timer, when the object passes a starting mark, and stopping the timer, when the object passes a defined distance from the starting mark. They further comprise a housing, a scale for indicating an average speed of the moving object and a pointer for indicating a measured average speed on the scale, wherein the measured average speed is derived from said defined distance and a time to cover said defined distance measured by the timer. The scale is designed as a scale part that is arranged detachably at the housing. The scale part is selected from a set of scales parts comprising a plurality of differing scale parts each having a scale with speed indication for indicating speed ranges corresponding to differing pre-defined distances.
