  • Patent number: 11941922
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a computer-based system and/or method which automatically, e.g. with minimal, or entirely without, human intervention, identifies, distinguishes, disambiguates or otherwise differentiates among multiple configurable bicycles based on the data reported to the system from the bicycle's data-reporting components, such that the data reported by those components may be associated with a particular bicycle for real-time and/or later review, analysis, etc. More particularly, where one or more data reporting components of a bicycle may change, the disclosed embodiments enable a data gathering system/service to identify, distinguish, disambiguate or otherwise differentiate among multiple bicycles which may use, or have used, one or more of the same components so as to associate the reported data, such as from a particular ride, with the correct bicycle configuration for real-time and/or later review and/or analysis.

  • Patent number: 7487969
    Abstract: A kite system having a light transmitter and a light receiver is described. The kite system comprises a kite having a light receiver attached with the kite. The light receiver is capable of receiving and registering a light signal. A light transmitter is included for emitting a light signal. The light transmitter is encased within a hand held transmitter housing. The hand held transmitter further includes a kite string attachment mechanism for holding kite string for attaching with the kite. A user may fly the kite and use the light transmitter to project the light signal toward the light receiver, and upon receiving the light signal, the light receiver registers that it has received the light signal. Additionally, the kite system is formed as a kite shooting game such that hitting the light receiver with the light signal provides a user with a point.

  • Publication number: 20070093168
    Abstract: A toy hang glider for both flying and launching is described. The toy hang glider comprises a frame portion with a wing portion connected with the frame portion. The wing portion operates as a wind catch. A kite string attachment is attached with the frame portion. A launcher catch is also attached with the frame portion. Using the kite string attachment, a user may fly the toy hang glider. Alternatively, using the launcher catch and a launcher, the user may launch the toy hang glider to float freely to the ground. The present invention further comprises a launcher. The launcher is operable for attaching with the launcher catch and detaching with the launcher catch to launch the toy hang glider.

  • Patent number: 6592424
    Abstract: The invention discloses colorful wind indicator toys and kites having an improved mechanism for securing a hollow rotatable rod containing mechanisms for various rotatable wind collecting parts of the wind indicators and kites. More specifically, it is proposed that a snap lock be used instead of a disk type structure to secure certain hollow rotatable rods onto the frames of wind indicator toys, thereby preventing rods from disengaging and flying away from the structure during high winds.
