Filed:

Apr 2, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/114230

Inventors:

Daniel R. McClure - Marietta GA, US

International Classification:

A63B021/00

US Classification:

482 8, 482 4, 482900

Abstract:

The present invention is generally directed to a computerized fitness equipment that is designed to simulate, emulate, or implement actual race conditions with other users. An exemplar fitness equipment includes at least one operating component and sensors to monitor performance parameters of the at least one operating component (such as speed of movement). A display is also provided, along with logic to provide a visual display of a user's performance (as measured through the first performance parameters). In one embodiment, a communication interface is provided to communicate the first performance parameters to at least one remote, similarly-configured, fitness equipment. Performance parameters from the remote fitness equipment are also received through the communication interface. The fitness equipment includes logic to compare the first performance parameters with performance parameters received from remote fitness equipment and display the results in a comparative fashion to the user.

Dec 12, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/021226

Inventors:

Daniel R. McClure - Marietta GA, US

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348148, 348143

Abstract:

The present invention is generally directed to a a rear-view display system for a vehicle comprising a camera that is disposed near the rear of the vehicle and being generally rearwardly directed. The invention also includes a display that is in the general form and location of a conventional center-mounted rear-view mirror. Namely, the display is located near the top center portion of the windshield of the vehicle. In accordance with the invention, the video image that is captured (e. g. , the scene to the rear of the vehicle) is displayed upon the display. By using the invention, a driver is able to view the area behind the vehicle as if the driver were looking into a conventional rear-view mirror.

Appl. No.:

15/043673

Inventors:

Daniel R. McClure - Alpharetta GA, US

International Classification:

B64C 39/02
G01C 5/00
G05D 1/04

Abstract:

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having flight control components for controlling the speed, altitude, and direction of flight of the UAV. A control circuit is configured to generate flight control outputs that control the flight control components. A receiver receives flight control inputs from a remote controller, wherein the received flight control inputs are utilized by the control circuit to generate the flight control outputs. An altitude determining circuit configured to determine an altitude of the UAV. An altitude override circuit, embodied in the control circuit, operative when the altitude is determined to exceed a predetermined altitude limit, and configured to override conflicting flight control inputs and generate flight control outputs to control the flight control components to reduce the altitude of the UAV.
