ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,460,904, issued on Nov. 4.
"Ballistic solutions based on parabola characteristics" was invented by John Bowman (Akron, Ohio) and Timothy Barber (Valley City, Ohio).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A target acquisition device that can determine a ballistics solution based on parabola characteristics. The parabola characteristics can be modeled in UI coordinates on the y-axis (e.g., pixels, mm.. ) and physical coordinates (e.g., feet, yards, meters.. ) on the x-axis. Zeroing data can be leveraged that establishes high quality reference points for two or more zeroed distances such that high quality ballistics solutions can be determined for oth...
