  • Patent number: 11882813
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for tracking wildlife such as game animals. The tracking system includes a drone that has a camera and a dart dispenser that dispenses a dart with a location transmitter.

  • Patent number: 11868125
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a handheld controller device includes a housing and a trigger assembly. The housing is configured to be held in the hands of a user. The trigger assembly includes a pair of triggers extending outward from a side of the handheld controller device and configured to move along respective trigger paths. A coupling assembly is disposed inside the housing and connected to the pair of triggers. The coupling assembly is configured to transfer motion between the pair of triggers such that, when either of the triggers moves towards the housing along its respective trigger path, the coupling assembly moves the other trigger an equal distance away from the housing along its trigger path. Circuitry in the housing includes one or more sensors and a microcontroller configured to receive sensor signals and, in response, generate aircraft control data (e.g., for a flight simulation or remotely controlled flyable aircraft).

  • Patent number: 11869341
    Abstract: An electronic door chime can meet safety standards and be compatible with smart doorbells and IOT doorbells. Current generation smart doorbells, also called IOT doorbells, require continuous power to drive the cameras, audio interfaces, and other components within the smart doorbell. Compatibility issues with prior art doorbell systems have emerged with the smart doorbell receiving inadequate power or power that doesn't meet the smart doorbell's input specification. In some cases, a prior art doorbell system is driven to failure or to excessive temperatures when the smart doorbell continuously draws too much power. A new electronic door chime can safely power the smart doorbells while also being compatible with simple push button doorbell devices.

  • Patent number: 11864551
    Abstract: A machine learning aerial wildlife survey and wounded game animal tracking process for completing accurate aerial wildlife surveys and tracking wounded game animals by machine learning and AI-supported filtering of non-relevant information is disclosed. The machine learning AI aerial wildlife survey and wounded game animal tracking process utilizes aerial vehicles, such as drones, to conduct wildlife surveys. Drones are quieter than helicopters and, therefore, have a diminished stress impact on the surrounding wildlife. In some embodiments, the machine learning AI aerial wildlife survey and wounded game animal tracking process utilizes machine learning AI filters to filter out trees and underbrush to accurately visualize wildlife and accurately count wild game.

  • Patent number: 11837037
    Abstract: A universal secure mobile device entry upgrade for electronic locks adds a wireless unlocking functionality to an existing host lock assembly. An electronics unit having a processing unit, a wireless communication device, a lock input, and a lock output is installed between a host motor output and host motor of a host lock. The original unlocking functionality of the host lock is maintained by either repeating an unlock signal from the host motor output to the host motor using the processing unit, or through a two-position switch that passes a host unlock signal to the host motor by default, but switches to a second position that allows an unlock signal to be sent to the host motor when a wireless unlocking is signaled from a mobile unlocking device such as a smartphone or the like. An integrated security chip and real-time clock may be included to increase security.

  • Patent number: 11813512
    Abstract: A method optimizes an object tracking system that uses receivers to receive beacon signals, or pings, from tracking tags that are attached to objects. An optimizer receives locations of the tracking tags and groups identifiers of the tracking tags into two or more sets. The first set identifies tracking tags that are attached to objects involved in a situation of interest. The optimizer determines a first receiver group based on the locations of tracking tags in the first set and the locations of the receivers. The optimizer determines a center of a smallest three-dimensional polygon bounding the locations of tracking tags in the first set. An antenna of each receiver in the first receiver group is then steered to point towards the center of the polygon while a number of receiver events per second generated by the receiver for tracking tags in the first set increases.
