  • Selective capture and presentation of native image portions
    Patent number: 10939140
    Abstract: A system and method for selective capture of and presentation of native image portions are provided. In a first embodiment a first image or video is captured at a first resolution, which resolution is greater than high definition and higher than a predetermined broadcast display resolution. A desired portion of the native, first image or video is then displayed at a second, lower resolution, which resolution is less than and closer to the predetermined broadcast display resolution. Accordingly, a selected portion of the captured image may be displayed at or near the predetermined broadcast display resolution. In other exemplary embodiments, video is captured at a first frame rate that is higher than a predetermined broadcast frame rate, and an extraction window extracts frames from a portion of the native, first video to provide improved broadcast quality of the portion(s) selected by the extraction window.

  • Baseball bat with impact indicator
    Patent number: 4834376
    Abstract: Within a bat handle a resiliently mounted magnet oscillates when the bat strikes a ball. The magnetic field couples with a fixed inductive coil inducing a signal with an amplitude proportional to the impact force. The signal is processed to provide an indication on the bat of the force of impact.
