Abstract:
A hockey puck is disclosed including an internal signal transmitter enabling instantaneous identification of its position as it moves around. The puck includes two molded subcomponents, which encapsulate the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter may include driver electronics and a number of signal transmitters which together generate and emit an electromagnetic signal. The electromagnetic signal may be emitted by a plurality of diodes mounted in cavities in the subcomponents, for example around an outer circumference of the hockey puck and through a top and bottom surfaces of the hockey puck. The puck may alternatively be formed of a material that allows electromagnetic radiation to be emitted through the subcomponents, and the diode cavities may be omitted.

Claim (Index 15):
A hockey puck, comprising:\n a first subcomponent and a second subcomponent, wherein the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent are matingly attached; wherein the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent form an interior void; a capsule including a first capsule subcomponent and a second capsule subcomponent, wherein the first capsule subcomponent is constructed and configured with a first profile mated to contours of the interior void formed by the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent, and wherein the second capsule subcomponent is constructed and configured with a second profile mated to contours of the interior void formed by the second subcomponent; wherein the first capsule subcomponent includes a first plurality of light pipes extending radially from the first capsule subcomponent, and wherein the second capsule subcomponent includes a second plurality of light pipes extending radially from the second capsule subcomponent; wherein the first plurality of light pipes is integrally formed on the first capsule subcomponent and the second plurality of light pipes are integrally formed on the second capsule subcomponent; a signal transmitter operable to generate and emit electromagnetic radiation; and wherein first plurality of light pipes and the second plurality of light pipes are operable to receive a plurality of diodes, and wherein the first plurality of light pipes and the second plurality of light pipes extend from the capsule to an exterior surface of the first subcomponent or the second subcomponent.
