  • Publication number: 20240163409
    Abstract: Disclosed are improved methods, systems and devices for color night vision that reduce the number of intensifiers and/or decrease noise. In some embodiments, color night vision is provided in system in which multiple spectral bands are maintained, filtered separately, and then recombined in a unique three-lens-filtering setup. An illustrative four-camera night vision system is unique in that its first three cameras separately filter different bands using a subtractive Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (CMY) color filtering-process, while its fourth camera is used to sense either additional IR illuminators or a luminance channel to increase brightness. In some embodiments, the color night vision is implemented to distinguish details of an image in low light. The unique application of the three-lens subtractive CMY filtering allows for better photon scavenging and preservation of important color information.

  • Publication number: 20240099372
    Abstract: A vape device has a main housing that includes a storage chamber adapted for receiving a quantity of vape product, and a heating chamber having a heating chamber opening for receiving the vape product, and a heater for heating the vape product. An upper slide unit is mounted on a top end of the main housing has a mouthpiece connected to a cooling chamber with a plurality of baffles, that leads to a vape inlet. An ejection mechanism can eject vape product from the storage chamber. The upper slide unit slides between retracted position wherein the ejection mechanism may be used to eject some of the vape product through the storage opening, and a closed position wherein the vape product is pushed through the heating chamber opening and into the heating chamber, where it is heated and vaporized.

  • Publication number: 20230381629
    Abstract: A game control system is adapted for tracking game statistics such as balls, strikes, and outs, and for operably controlling a scoreboard for displaying this information, and a pitch clock. The system has a device housing that is sized and shaped to be readily hand-held, and which includes an input device for entering game statistics. The device housing contains a transceiver device operably connected with a power source, the transceiver device enabling communication with the scoreboard and the pitch clock. The device housing further includes a pitch clock display that displays the time remaining on the pitch clock, and a pitch clock reset button which enables a reset of the pitch clock display, and also the pitch clock, during the course of the game.

  • Publication number: 20230241480
    Abstract: A wireless play communication system enables communications between a coach and a player. The system includes a coach communication device mounted in a first carrying device that is adapted to be carried by the coach, and a player communication device mounted in a second carrying device that is adapted to be carried by the player. An input mechanism of the coach communication device enables a coach to input a signal. Actuation of a pitch plus button functions to transmit the signal from the coach communication device to the player communication device, while also updating a pitch tracker which tracks the number of pitches thrown by the player. The pitch count is displayed on a pitch count display.
