  • Patent number: 11666042
    Abstract: A net for fishing or other purposes. The net includes a hoop frame connected to a pole by a yoke. The yoke defines sockets in which respective arms of the hoop frame and a distal end of the pole are received. Plugs in the arms of the hoop frame desirably prevent water from passing the plugs into the hoop frame. A plug in the distal end of the pole desirably prevents water from passing the plug into the pole. The yoke and plugs provide a robust connection of the hoop frame to the pole and help retain air in the hoop frame and pole for buoyancy of the net.

  • Publication number: 20230168362
    Abstract: A system for monitoring at least one projectile during flight. The system includes a radar apparatus, a trigger, and a processor. The radar apparatus transmits a radar signal that includes a base radar frequency signal with a frequency shift. The radar signal has a signal profile in a direction of a chosen target and reflects off the projectile(s) traveling through the signal profile toward the target. The radar apparatus receives at least one reflected signal from the projectile(s). The trigger is operably coupled to the radar apparatus to automatically initiate operation of the radar apparatus. The processor collects data from the radar apparatus and calculates velocity of the projectile(s) based thereon. The present disclosure further provides a method of monitoring the projectile(s) during flight with the system. The present disclosure further provides a chronograph system with a housing, aiming device with a peep sight, and a trigger.
