  • Patent number: 11954660
    Abstract: The invention introduces a method and system designed to augment sports fans' experience and simultaneously generate revenue for athletes. It involves a computerized platform for storing and accessing videos, which contain athletes sharing insights about their competitive season in sports like games, matches, or meets. The access to these videos is facilitated through either a URL for online viewing or a QR code embedded in a digital or printed format. A unique feature of this system is the video view availability monitoring display/selection grid. This grid showcases images of fans' favorite athletes on one axis and the corresponding games, matches, or meets on another, allowing users to easily select and view their preferred content. Athletes have the ability to upload multiple videos for the same event, with each video distinctly labeled with time, date, and explanatory notes.

  • Publication number: 20210280839
    Abstract: A battery comprising a plurality of electrode extensions comprising at least one area of at least partial overlap of one extension over another. Typically, said overlaps occur at least near to battery cap contact area for electrode extensions. Said overlaps enable end plate of ‘jelly-roll’ of battery materials to be formed from and maintained by progressive folding down of extensions during battery winding. Such overlaps are suitable for electrical contact to battery cap. Said overlaps enable short average electron path lengths in batteries, and thus mitigate against heat damage to battery during recharge. Said overlaps are supportive of efficient high-speed battery manufacture.
