Method for delivering sports telemetry for a curling game

A method for delivering sports telemetry for a curling game provides players, coaches, and viewers with the detailed dynamics of a curling stone. The method is generalized to at least one computerized sports equipment in communication with at least one remote server. A sensing module of the sports equipment captures and sends an angular-motion measurement and a linear-motion measurement to the remote server. Further, a tracking module of the sports equipment sends a precise location reading to the remote server. The angular-motion measurement, the linear-motion measurement, and the precise location reading are compiled into a sports telemetry data. Subsequently, the sports telemetry data assess a plurality of summarization metrics which promotes game awareness and interest. Further, the sports telemetry data also generates at least one equipment motion animation of play-by-play breakdown of the game. Finally, an online view platform allows the general public to access the sports telemetry data.

Bottomless pole vault training box
10806957 · 2020-10-20 ·

Embodiments of the subject invention are directed to a training box or device used by an athlete to practice pole vaulting. The interior region of the training box is open, i.e. the base of the training box does not cover the interior of the device and thus there is no front edge. This invention is used to teach and train athletes pole vaulters who prefer to slide their vaulting poles on the ground instead using the prevailing method which involves carrying a pole as they run towards the box and placing the tip of the pole inside the training box. The training box may include electronics capability for measuring performance characteristics of pole vaulters such as the average speed of a pole.
