  • Publication number: 20230396742
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products to provide real-time streaming of video content, hit indicators, and hit analytics from target locations to users, spectators, and certification authorities are provided. One embodiment includes a camera unit, configured to be directed at a target, to capture a stream of video content, and to transmit the stream of video content to a receiving unit and computing system. The computing system is configured to identify hit locations of projectiles on the target through optical processing of the stream of video content. The computing system is further configured to compute analytics pertaining to the detected hit locations on the target. Additionally, the computing system is configured to generate enhanced video content by indicating the location of the hit and/or computed analytics within the stream of video content and transmit the enhanced video content for display on one or more display devices.

  • Publication number: 20230224436
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products are provided according to example embodiments to provide real-time streaming of video content, hit indicators, and hit analytics from target locations to users, spectators, and certification authorities. One embodiment is provided that at least includes a camera unit, configured to be directed at a target, to capture a stream of video content, and to transmit the stream of video content to a receiving unit. The receiving unit may be communicatively connected to a computing system configured to receive the stream of video content from the camera unit and identify hit locations of projectiles on the target through optical processing of the stream of video content. The computing system may be further configured to compute analytics pertaining to the detected hit locations on the target.

  • Patent number: 7089060
    Abstract: A method for activating a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor of one or more cells includes positioning an electromagnetic field generator in proximity to a VEGF receptor such that the flux of an electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic field generator will extend through the VEGF receptor. The method also includes generating an electromagnetic field, using the electromagnetic field generator, having a rate of fluctuation that activates the VEGF receptor.

  • Patent number: 6364824
    Abstract: A method and associated apparatus are presented for stimulating biological activity of cell receptors. The biological activity of cell receptors is stimulated by positioning a transmitter in proximity with the target cell receptors, generating an electromagnetic field, such that the flux of the electromagnetic field extends through the target cell receptors, and fluctuating the electromagnetic field at a predetermined rate of fluctuation. An associated apparatus is presented which stimulates biological activity of cell receptors. The apparatus comprises a field coil electrically connected to an alternating current source with a predetermined rate of fluctuation. The alternating current flows through the field coils, thereby generating an electromagnetic field with a predetermined rate of fluctuation.
