Publication number: 20260091291Abstract: A system may comprise one or more monitoring devices that may communicate with a mobile device or a wearable device worn by a user of a sporting apparatus. The system may enable motion data specific to motion of the sporting apparatus to be conveniently captured and transmitted, and displayed on the wearable device. The system may include functionality to permit disablement of the motion detecting, transmission, and/or displaying functions at times when such functions are not permitted to be used, and to record the date, time, and location when such functions have been disabled to permit verification thereof by a governing body or sporting organization. The system may further include a learning module enabling monitored motion of the object to be correlated to monitored motion of the user such that predictive motion of the sporting object based only on monitored motion of the user may be obtained and displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2025Publication date: April 2, 2026Inventors: Michael J. Kline, John Rae, Scott Carlyle, Kirk Bacon, Patrick Ripp, Jeff Brunski, Jay Vogler, Dustin Brekke

Publication number: 20060081778Abstract: An infrared (IR) camera and associated electronics including power are integrated into portable, self-contained, vision-enhancement apparatus useful in environments of dense air-borne particulate and thermal extremes such as encountered in fire fighting situations, in accordance with the invention. The IR camera is integral with a self-contained power supply so that the system is portable and requires no umbilical cord or other external connections. The camera includes an imager that is preferably an un-cooled focal plane array, and associated imaging, storing, processing and displaying electronics that are cooled in the extreme thermal environment using an integral plural phase heatsink.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2005Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Charles Warner, Scott Foster, Stewart Evans, Raul Krivoy, Michael Burke, John Rae
