20080275579 | Dynamic derby draw - A method, system and apparatus is disclosed for scheduling matches in a pool or billiards tournament, or any other competitive event, in a way that allows the next round of competition to begin before the previous round completes when the pairings in the next round depend on the results of the previous round. The present invention ensures that match pairings are done in a fair and random way across all contestants even before the full list of contestants is entirely known. Conventional scheduling methods require all previous round matches to be complete and their full results known before the next round can be scheduled, and consequently, the entire tournament is delayed if even a single match extends beyond a round's desired completion time. The present invention obviates the need for these unknowns to be resolved before scheduling successive rounds, and thereby permits the tournament to proceed on schedule in an orderly, fair and predictable manner. | 11-06-2008 |

20130192451 | Anti-sniper targeting and detection system - An anti-sniper targeting system where a spherical omni-directional depth stereoscopic camera, a radar, and microphone identify, detect, and determine target positions and bearings, detect target weapon flash, detect glint, track bullet trajectory, coordinate, track, share, and assign targets. Target bearings and ranges are determined by sound and heat signature detection from an infrared camera, from glint, and radar to rapidly position a fire control arm with a camera onto assigned targets rapidly from calculations on target positions and optimal trajectory. It can account for firing corrections due to target range and wind effects using wind sensors, pressure, temperature, and earth curvature accommodating for bullet trajectory over large ranges. It can be an offensive sniper system whereby a target is locked in spite of movements, such as from a vehicle using stabilizing gyros and accelerometers, image processing, or sensor data to adjust for movements. | 08-01-2013 |
20150345907 | ANTI-SNIPER TARGETING AND DETECTION SYSTEM - An anti-sniper targeting system where a spherical omni-directional depth stereoscopic multi-lens camera, a radar (e.g., LIDAR), and microphone identify, detect, and determine target positions and bearings, detect target weapon flash, detect glint, track bullet trajectory, coordinate, track, share, and assign targets. Target bearings and ranges are determined by sound and heat signature detection from an infrared camera, from glint, and radar to rapidly position a fire control arm with a camera onto assigned targets rapidly from calculations on target positions and optimal trajectory. It may account for firing corrections due to target range and wind effects using wind sensors, terrain data, pressure, temperature, and earth curvature accommodating for bullet trajectory over large ranges. It can be an offensive sniper system whereby a target is locked in spite of movements, such as from a vehicle using stabilizing gyros and accelerometers, image processing, or sensor data to adjust for movements. | 12-03-2015 |
