  • Publication number: 20220136798
    Abstract: A method for monitoring operation of an archery bow includes attaching an apparatus to a bow cord. The apparatus includes a processor, a monitoring device electrically coupled with the processor, a wireless communication module electrically coupled with the processor, and a power supply electrically coupled with each of the processor and the wireless communication module. The method further includes detecting, by the monitoring device, a tension of the bow cord. The method also includes generating, by the processor and based upon the detected tension of the bow cord, data concerning tension of the bow cord. The method further includes wirelessly transmitting, by the wireless communication module, the data to a remote computing device. The method also includes receiving, by the remote computing device, the data. The method also includes presenting, by the remote computing device and based upon the data, information to a user reflecting the detected tension.

  • Patent number: 11255628
    Abstract: A cam assembly for an archery bow is provided. The cam assembly includes a cam body and an anchoring lug. The cam body defines a pivot axis and a groove circumferentially routed at least partially around the pivot axis. The anchoring lug is coupled with the cam body and includes a force sensor. The anchoring lug is offset from the pivot axis and is configured to facilitate attachment of a bow cord thereto. The force sensor is configured to facilitate detection of a tension on the bow cord as a function of a force imparted to the force sensor from the bow cord. An archery bow is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10852095
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing an abnormality of an archery bow is provided. The method includes detecting, by one or more controllers, an operating condition of the archery bow from at least one onboard monitoring device of the archery bow, and comparing, by the one or more controllers, the operating condition to a threshold operating condition. The method further includes identifying, by the one or more controllers, an abnormal condition based on the comparing of the operating condition to the threshold operating condition, and presenting, by the one or more controllers, the abnormal condition to a user. A non-transitory computer readable medium for performing the method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 5066052
    Abstract: The box end of a threaded joint has an interior profile of an inwardly tapered threaded section, followed by a smooth sealing surface parallel to the longitudinal axis of the threaded joint, followed by an increased diameter seal ring groove, followed by an inwardly tapered smooth sealing surface. The pin end of the joint has an external torque shoulder, followed by an inwardly tapered threaded section, followed by a reduced diameter pipe dope reservoir, followed by an extrusion hump used to extrude a deformable seal ring used in the seal ring groove, followed by an inwardly tapered smooth sealing surface. When the threaded joint is fully made up, the entrapped seal ring has a primary metal-to-metal seal on its one side, formed by the mated smooth, tapered surfaces, and a secondary metal-to-metal seal formed by the extrusion hump and the surface above the seal ring groove.
