Eric Tyler Overstreet has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10502527
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for determining an aiming adjustment amount, in terms of both vertical and horizontal aiming adjustments, to shoot a target at a target range by iteratively solving for the projectile trajectory (e.g., projectile drop or path and deflection) such that the iteratively calculated projectile trajectory is determined to pass through the target location within a predetermined threshold amount (e.g., at a projectile path calculation of about zero). Also disclosed are techniques for indicating whether a projectile has supersonic, transonic, or subsonic speed at a given range.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 10, 2019

Also disclosed are techniques for indicating whether a projectile has supersonic, transonic, or subsonic speed at a given range. Additionally, techniques are disclosed for iteratively determining an aiming adjustment amount that compensates for a moving target.

  • Patent number: 8314923
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to selectively measure one or more conditions, such as temperature, wind speed, and angle of inclination, that may assist a golfer in making a play. If it is not permissible to present to the golfer additional information (e.g., an adjusted distance, temperature, wind speed, or a suggested club) that may assist a golfer in making a play, only a line-of-sight distance to a target on a golf course may be displayed. Modular rangefinders are also provided in which a dongle is coupled to a rangefinder to provide unique functionality. For example, a TGR™ dongle may provide golf specific functionality, such as calculating an adjusted distance that the golfer may use to play an inclined shot and a TBR® dongle may provide hunting specific functionality, such as calculating an equivalent horizontal distance that a hunter may use for precise shooting on an incline.
