Publication number: 20120105283Abstract: A distance measuring device for determining distances to objects on a golf course comprises a laser rangefinder; a satellite navigation receiver; and a portable handheld housing for housing both the laser rangefinder and the satellite navigation receiver. The housing has opposed left and right sidewalls, opposed top and bottom walls, and opposed front and rear walls, with all of the walls being sized and configured to permit a user to hold the device with one hand. A display for displaying distance information from the satellite navigation receiver is positioned in one of the sidewalls of the housing and an eyepiece of the laser rangefinder is positioned in the front wall of the housing. This permits a user to hold the device with one hand, look through the eyepiece to operate the laser rangefinder, and then simply twist his or her hand to view satellite navigation information on the display without releasing or re-gripping the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: Bushnell Inc.Inventors: Scott Nyhart, Brian Marquess, Jordan Vermillion

Publication number: 20120109577Abstract: An integrated distance measuring device for golf comprises a satellite navigation receiver operable to determine a current location of the device; a laser rangefinder operable to determine a distance from the current location of the device to an object on a golf course; a compass operable to determine a bearing of the device when it is aimed at the object; a display; and a computing device. The computing device is programmed to determine a location of the object as a function of the current location of the device, the distance to the object, and the bearing of the device. The computing device may also be programmed to calculate a distance between the object and a second object on the golf course as a function of the location of the object and pre-mapped location information for the second object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: BUSHNELL INC.Inventors: Scott Nyhart, Brian Marquess, Jordan Vermillion

Patent number: 7346400Abstract: An optical scope with a position-based on/off switch preserves power by automatically deactivating one or more electrical components when the scope is not in use. The scope includes an orientation sensor that determines when the scope is in an inactive position by sensing when the scope is rolled left or right to a predetermined angle of inclination from an upright position. A power switch receives an indicia of orientation from the orientation sensor and deactivates the one or more electrical components when the scope is in the inactive position, thus preserving power and extending the life of a battery.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Bushnell Inc.Inventors: Bill Cross, Chris Lalik, Scott Nyhart

Publication number: 20070139916Abstract: A flashlight with a battery life indicator to continuously indicate a power level to facilitate flashlight retrieval and battery monitoring is disclosed. The flashlight generally includes a light source, contacts operable to couple with a power source having a power level, an input operable to turn the light source on and off, and an indicator coupled with the power source contacts to continuously indicate the power level. Such continuous indication of the power level enables the flashlight to be easily located in darkness and provides a constant power level reminder to help users maintain the flashlight in operating condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Jordan Vermillion, John Cross, Scott Nyhart
