A moving body measuring instrument is disclosed which projects, from predetermined locations thereof, a plurality of beams of light at predetermined angles into a same plane, receives, at predetermined locations thereof, the beams reflected from a moving body as it moves to intersect with the beams, calculates parameters of the motion of the moving body in accordance with predetermined operation from timing data of the beams received, and indicates the results of the calculations on an indicator. The moving body has a light reflective member provided thereon which reflects a beam for measurement toward a direction incident thereto irrespective of its incident angle, and substantially same locations are provided at which beams are projected and received.

Moving body measuring instrument

Apparatus for measuring and analyzing the swing of a baseball player. The apparatus includes devices for emitting a plurality of spaced light beams projected in directions to be intersected by the swing plane of a bat and a corresponding plurality of light receiving elements arranged to receive light beams reflected from the bat. Signals received by the light receiving elements are collected and supplied to a processing apparatus and the results of this processing are displayed on a display unit which provides indication of angle, speed, level, etc. of the swing. The information may also be provided to a printer. The apparatus indicates whether the swing is performed normally and if it deviates from normal indicates the error involved.

Device for measuring swing data of baseball bat

A microwave oven cooking apparatus including a magnetic card reader from which control data may be read to control cooking operations. Data may first be input by the operator from a keyboard control panel. This data is stored in a first memory. Upon completion of the cooking operation, if successful, the operator depresses a control transferring the data stored in the first memory to a second memory from which it is read onto and stored on a magnetic card. The magnetic card can be then reinserted into the card reader for later input of the same cooking operational data.
