Abstract

A ball (12), in particular a baseball or a softball, comprises a main part (22) having a spherical outer surface (23), and a receiving recess (24) with a recess opening (25) which opens through the spherical outer surface (23) and with a recess bottom (34) opposing the recess opening (25). The receiving recess (24) is configured to receive a removable sensing device (18), wherein the removable sensing device (18) comprises a gyroscopic and/or accelerometric sensor (20). For a better structural robustness the ball (12) comprises a cover part (26), which cover part (26) closes the recess opening (25) and fixes the removable sensing device (18) in between the cover part (26) and the recess bottom (34) when inserted into the receiving recess (24).

Abstract

An electronic sensing device (2) comprising a housing(4) rotationally symmetric about an axis. A sensing unit is fixed within the housing and is arranged to provide sensor data.The sensing unit comprises at least one accelerometer and/or at least one gyroscope. A wireless communication transceiver is arranged to transmit said sensor data to an external electronic device for processing. The device further comprises amounting arrangement (10, 30) adapted to connect the electronic sensing device (2) to a user-operated peripheral device such that the sensing unit is only in a predefined location and a predefined orientation about the axis relative to the user-operated peripheral device.
