74 results about "Baseball bat" patented technology

A baseball bat is a smooth wooden or metal club used in the sport of baseball to hit the ball after it is thrown by the pitcher. By regulation it may be no more than 2.75 inches (7.0 cm) in diameter at the thickest part and no more than 42 inches (1.067 m) in length. Although historically bats approaching 3 pounds (1.4 kg) were swung, today bats of 33 ounces (0.94 kg) are common, topping out at 34 ounces (0.96 kg) to 36 ounces (1.0 kg).

Cricket bat swing trainer

A trainer for practicing a proper cricket bat swing is shaped like a conventional cricket bat. A cavity with parallel side walls and toe and shoulder end walls extends through the trainer from its face to its swell. A weight freely reciprocates on a shaft aligned on the longitudinal axis of the cavity. The toe end of the cavity blocks sliding of the weight at the “sweet spot” of the trainer. When the trainer is swung in cricket bat fashion, the weight slides distally from the shoulder end wall and strikes the toe end wall of the cavity, providing audible indication of whether the contact of a conventional cricket bat with a bowled cricket ball would have occurred before, at or after the optimal ball-striking moment.

Mobile camera-based system for real-time baseball swing analysis

A mobile camera-based system and method provides real-time analysis and feedback on baseball swing performance using computer vision and machine learning techniques. The system comprises a mobile application that captures high-frame-rate video of a hitter's swing using one or two smartphone cameras. A custom YOLO-based pose estimation model detects and localizes key points on the bat in each video frame. The extracted bat trajectories are then processed and input into an XGBoost machine learning model to predict critical swing metrics like bat speed, attack angle, and time to contact. The predicted metrics are displayed to the user through intuitive visualizations in the app's interface within seconds of the swing, enabling instant feedback and adjustment. Swing data is stored locally on the device and can be uploaded to a central server for further analysis, aggregation, and reporting.

Production method for baseball bats based on 6-series recycled aluminum

A production method for baseball bats based on 6-series recycled aluminum is provided, which includes steps such as pretreatment, melting, casting, homogenization treatment, extrusion, drawing, and subsequent processing. In the casting step, the crystallizer adopts electromagnetic stirring treatment to disperse larger Fe containing phases. In the homogenization treatment step, it is divided into primary and secondary homogenization two stages. The purpose of the primary homogenization treatment is to dissolve the Mg2Si phase with a low melting point into the matrix, and the purpose of the secondary homogenization treatment is to transform the elongated β-AlFeSi into spherical α-Al(FeMn)Si to eliminate harmful Fe phases. Heating treatment is used on the drawing mold during the drawing process, and warm forming helps to make aluminum alloy drawing smoother, reduce cracking, and eliminate the need to add other alloys during the production process of recycled aluminum melting.

Identifying the sweet spot of a bat

A test fixture for identifying the sweet spot of a bat includes one or more vibration absorbers, which may include cuffs, caps, and cuff / accelerometer combinations. An impact mass driven by motors strikes the bat at a series of locations along the barrel of the bat while the magnitude of vibration at the handle of the bat is measured by an accelerometer. The sweet spot is identified based on the minimum of the maximum measured acceleration values. The vibration absorbers inhibit gross movement of the bat and accelerate quiescence of oscillatory vibration of the bat between strikes, thereby reducing test time and increasing accuracy.

The assembly can be embedded into an internal cavity of sports equipment or a tool and comprises a mass block, an elastic body or an elastic element, a limiting structure and an optional guide structure. The mass block generates controlled micro-displacement relative to the main body structure due to the inertia effect when high-speed impact or impact operation occurs to equipment or tools, and the elastic body or the elastic element is driven to deform in a controlled range and generate elastic restoring force, so that transient dynamic response of the impact process is participated in a millisecond-level time scale, and the impact force is generated. And the time distribution, the energy transfer mode and the transient stability of the structure of the impact force are modulated. Through the inertia-elasticity coupling modulation mechanism, on the premise that the original geometric structure and macroscopic mass distribution of equipment or tools are not obviously changed, the force output consistency in the impact process can be improved, transient torsion and local deformation sudden change caused by eccentric impact are restrained, and the impact strength of the equipment or tools is improved. And the stability and the fault tolerance of the equipment or the tool under the impact working condition are improved. The assembly has various structural forms and adjustable parameters, is suitable for handheld impact tools such as tennis rackets, badminton rackets, squash rackets, baseball bat, golf clubs, hammers, axes and the like, and has good universality and industrial application prospects.
