Patent number: 11571613Abstract: A ground traversing, electrically driven drone travels along a programmed path that corresponds to pass catcher's travel path during a play, matching the pass catcher's speed and run cuts. The play is wirelessly communicated to the drone by a handheld electronic device located remote of the drone. A target is located on the drone so that a quarterback can throw a football at the target in order to refine the quarterback's timing and accuracy for the play. Sensors located remote of the drone track both the football's and quarterback's speed and travel trajectories so that such data can be collected, along with the drone's travel path, and transmitted to the computer and eventually fed into 3-D reconstruction software for analysis by the quarterback and coaching staff. The target rotates so that the target either faces in a fixed direction or constantly faces the quarterback during execution of drone's maneuvers.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignees: Envelope Sports, LLC, SURVICE Engineering CompanyInventors: Pat Hoderny, Joey Roberts, Chris Hoderny, Paul Aubrey Troth, Joseph Murphy, Shawn Thomas Recker, Mark Thomas Butkiewicz, Joel Henry Witman, Robert Eric Baltrusch

Patent number: 10683083Abstract: An integrated logistics asset guidance system uses a handheld housing that is programmed by a user to formulate a brief discrete message. The message is combined with a GPS coordinate captured by a GPS receiver within the housing with the message and coordinate are transmitted by a satcom transmitter within the housing using military secure encrypted communications protocols to a base station transceiver via a satellite. The transceiver retransmits the GPS coordinate and message via the satellite to a logistics asset so that the logistics asset can travel to the location indicated by the GPS coordinate, the logistics asset delivering supplies requested by the message sent.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: SURVICE Engineering CompanyInventors: Robert Eric Baltrusch, Mark Thomas Butkiewicz, Shawn Thomas Recker, Joel Henry Witman
