  • Patent number: 5359576
    Abstract: A voice activated skeet/trap triggering system comprising a receiver unit and at least one transmitter unit. The receiver unit interfaces with the target launcher via an interface cable, which cable replaces the conventional puller cable that supports the mechanical switches. The transmitter unit includes a voice microphone mounted and a transmitter microprocessor unit (MPU). The transmitter MPU cooperates with amplifying circuitry, sensitivity circuitry, and an A/D converter to generate a digital word when a proper voice command is picked up by the microphone and recognized. The digital word is frequency modulated onto an FM carrier signal. The receiver unit receives the FM signal and demodulates it to retrieve the digital word. The bits of the digital word are examined to determine the proper target to launch.
