Patent number: 10509213Abstract: The present invention is a modular electronic-optical-mechanical apparatus, to be used by observers in combination with a wide variety of optical image sources, for observing, acquiring and sharing the optical imagery of objects, and the audio and sounds derived from observing sessions bi-directionally in real time with audiences both remote and local. The apparatus enables observers who are local or remote from optical image sources to control and acquire optical imagery from optical image sources, where those optical image sources include microscopes, telescopes, IR scopes, spotting scopes, polarimeters, interferometer microscopes, interferometers, rifle scopes, surveillance scopes, drone optics, binoculars, theodolites, autocollimators, alignment telescopes, camera lenses, periscopes, slit lamp bio microscopes and dioptometers.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Inventors: Lawrence Maxwell Monari, Lawrence Scott Monari

Patent number: 9889344Abstract: A system for measuring and displaying the pressure of conventional American-style footballs in real time to game officials and spectators continuously. The value of the football's pressure is measured by physical contact with a Durometer and calculated using a CPU configured with software. Game officials may view the football's pressure locally. A transceiver device continuously transmits the value of the football's pressure, ID, time and date to remote receivers where game officials and spectators may continuously monitor the football's pressure remotely.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Inventors: Lawrence Maxwell Monari, Lawrence Scott Monari

Patent number: 9700781Abstract: The present invention is an entertainment system for multitudes of sport's spectators to help them follow the movements of players and play objects on the play areas of sport's venues in past games and in real time games during sporting events and help with making fouling and scoring decisions. The invention uses generic surveillance sources to capture the instantaneous real time and historic continuous data streams of geographic coordinates of the players and their play objects during their movements, and displays the data as scaled animated tracks of the players and the play object on the screens of the spectator's personal smart mobile devices (includes smart devices, mobile devices) under the control of a mobile app. The tracks are displayed on a backdrop which is an animated rendering of the play area. The tracks and the backdrop are calculated to have the same scale to assure their alignment on the screen together.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Inventors: Lawrence Maxwell Monari, Lawrence Scott Monari

Patent number: 9694248Abstract: A system for measuring and displaying the pressure of conventional American-style footballs in real time to game officials and spectators continuously. In one preferred embodiment, at least one pressure transducer device is disposed inside the football. The pressure transducer is an electrical oscillator. The frequency of oscillation is a known mathematical function of the bladder pressure. At least one pressure readout device is positioned externally to the football at the outside of the cover-liner. The pressure readout device wirelessly stimulates the pressure transducer device to oscillate. The pressure readout device reads the frequency of oscillation and calculates the value of the pressure. In another preferred embodiment, the value of the football's pressure is measured by physical contact with a Durometer. Both embodiments display the pressure to game officials locally; and transmit the value of the football's pressure to spectators remotely.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Inventors: Lawrence Maxwell Monari, Lawrence Scott Monari

Patent number: 9674435Abstract: Three different systems are disclosed for producing data bases that are used to drive virtual reality display apparatus. The systems employ 3-D stereo camera pairs, airborne microphones, conduction microphones, physical and chemical sensors, CPU's and supporting electronics. The data bases can be used by virtual reality audiences in real time as the data bases are created or they can be stored and used at a later time. The systems are dedicated to eliminating artifacts that would otherwise tend to interfere with the enjoyment of the virtual reality experience for virtual reality viewing audiences. The systems cover multidimensional video content, multidimensional audio content, multidimensional physical content and multidimensional chemical content. The systems are intended to be set up inside a venue for capturing VR content.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Inventors: Lawrence Maxwell Monari, Lawrence Scott Monari

Publication number: 20160375340Abstract: The present invention is an entertainment system for multitudes of sport's spectators to help them follow the movements of players and play objects on the play areas of sport's venues in real time during sporting events; and help with game nuances like making fouling and scoring decisions. The invention uses generic surveillance sources to capture the instantaneous real time continuous data streams of geographic coordinates of the players and their play objects during their movements, and displays the data as scaled animated tracks of the players and the play object on the screens of the spectator's personal smart mobile devices (includes smart devices, mobile devices) under the control of a mobile app. The tracks are displayed on a backdrop which is an animated rendering of the play area.

Patent number: 9167228Abstract: A real time system to televise sporting events from amongst the players on the playing field is disclosed. Sports paraphernalia that are ordinarily used by the players on the playing field are instrumented with a variety of TV cameras, microphones, and bi-directional communication electronics. Sports paraphernalia like footballs, ice hockey pucks, baseball first bases, baseball second bases, baseball third bases, baseball home plates and baseball pitcher's rubbers are disclosed. The instrumentation is built into and contained within the sports paraphernalia themselves. The instrumented sports paraphernalia televise signals to an antenna array relay junction, which relays the signals to a remote base station where they are processed and finally broadcast to a TV viewing audience. The cameraman in the remote base station exercises command and control over the functions of the instrumented sports paraphernalia.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Inventors: Lawrence Maxwell Monari, Lawrence Scott Monari
