Abstract: A portable archery bow apparatus can be transported to any of a plurality of locations to contact the ground and to provide support and stability while firing an arrow from the bow apparatus. The apparatus includes a bow and includes a support pole attached to a side of the bow. The bottom of the pole rests on the ground while the bow is utilized to fire an arrow. The pole permits the bow to be tilted fore and aft, and from side to side while the bow is positioned to fire an arrow from the bow.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to devices and methods for assisting archery bow hunters in making accurate shots while hunting in dynamic terrain. Generally, in accordance with various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the present invention discloses various universal mounting brackets and integrated archery bow systems configured for coupling a support element to an archery bow. Most preferably, the universal mounting brackets and integrated archery bow systems are configured to give the bow hunter maximum stability and range of motion when aiming and/or firing the bow. In accordance with the various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, various universal mounting brackets and integrated archery bow systems configured for coupling a collapsible monopod support element to an archery bow is disclosed. Additionally, various universal mounting brackets configured for coupling an extendable bipod support element to an archery bow is disclosed.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a camera having a lens and a focal planar array (FPA) for capturing at least one image frame having a plurality of sub-image frames. Each sub-image frame includes multiple pixel values corresponding to photonic intensities of the captured image frame. An embedded atomic clock (EAC) is integrated in one single unit with the camera for providing time code data. A multiplexer combines the multiple pixel values of one sub-image frame with the time code data, and an input/output module provides both, the time code data and the multiple pixel values of the sub-image frame as an output data stream.

Abstract: A data acquisition system includes multiple terminal nodes. Each terminal node includes a sensor, an atomic clock and a controller. Each sensor is adapted to sense an external event and transform the external event into an electrical signal. Each atomic clock generates a time reference. Each controller is coupled to the atomic clock and the sensor, and is configured to merge the electrical signal with the time reference and provide a time-stamped data stream to a remote central processor. The remote central processor is configured to organize a respective time-stamped data stream from one terminal node with another respective time-stamped data stream from another terminal node.
