  • Patent number: 11554304
    Abstract: A system that includes an electronic baton device with motion and capacitive sensors. The system includes a processor and non-tangible computer readable media having stored programming instructions thereon that, when executed, cause the processor to receive sensor data from the motion and capacitive sensors, and determine an exchange zone to exchange the baton device between an incoming runner and an outgoing runner of a relay, based on the sensor data. The processor determines relay race metrics for each athlete of the relay team, baton metrics associated with each athlete, a usage efficiency in the exchange zone, and a baton transition metrics. The processor selectively displays on a display device the relay race metrics for each athlete, the determined baton metrics, the determined usage efficiency in the exchange zone, and the determined baton transition metrics in one or more selected graphical user interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11057426
    Abstract: A system and method for providing cyber defense for electronic identification, vehicles, ancillary vehicle platforms, and telematics platforms using blockchain. The vehicle may be a ground-based vehicle, air-based vehicle, roadable aircraft vehicle, sea-based vehicle, autonomous vehicle, or unmanned aerial vehicle. Wherein ancillary vehicle platforms may include, but not limited to, aviation platforms, urban air mobility platforms (UAM), and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The system and method include determining whether a user is an authorized operator of a vehicle, the vehicle including an external display of a digital license tag. If the user is determined to be an unauthorized operator of the vehicle, the system activates a primary kill switch which prevents the activation of the vehicle's digital license tag.

  • Patent number: 10632395
    Abstract: A track start system including a detection subsystem to detect a false start of an individual participating in a racing event and to acquire biomechanical data from the individual to produce performance metrics readable by a user regarding the individual wherein detection of the false start is detectable independent of a starting block that may be used by the individual. Another system is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9655390
    Abstract: A wearable pedestrian safety radar system including a harness with a pocket and a portable radar speed detection and display device to be worn on the front and back of the harness by a pedestrian while on a roadway. The device includes a radar system, LED lights, a microcontroller, a proximity sensor, a camera, a strobe light, an audible alert unit and a vibration unit. The device detects a speed of an on-coming motor vehicle. If the vehicle is exceeding a predetermined speed limit, the speed is displayed on the device. If the vehicle does not slow down below the speed limit within a distance detected by the proximity sensor, the camera records the vehicle while the strobe light blinks to warn the driver of the recording. The audible alert unit and vibration unit alert the pedestrian. The system may be used to relay data to a law enforcement agency.
