  • System with multi-axis athletic performance tracking
    Patent number: 9734389
    Abstract: Techniques are described for calculating athletic performance during an athletic activity. In one embodiment, a processor of a sensing device comprising one or more sensors measures an activity parameter of a user. The processor analyzes the activity parameter to determine whether the activity parameter meets a predetermined criteria. When the activity parameter meets the predetermined criteria, the processor arms the one or more sensors. The arming comprises activating the one or more sensors to collect exercise data for a known exercise activity performed by the user. In another embodiment, the processor of the sensing device comprising one or more sensors arms the one or more sensors to collect data when the activity parameter of the user meets a predetermined criteria. After arming the one or more sensors, the processor collects exercise data for a known exercise activity performed by the user.

  • Method for measuring parameters and a striking device
    Publication number: 20050239583
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring and computing of a striking device, such as a tennis racquet. The velocity of the striking device is determined by measuring the acceleration in at least one direction, preferably a centripetal direction, and computing said velocity from said acceleration.
