US Patent:

7345604, Mar 18, 2008

Filed:

Jul 27, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/460572

Inventors:

Brian Watson - Gainesville FL, US

Assignee:

Information Systems Laboratories, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H03M 1/00

US Classification:

341133, 341155

Abstract:

A system for converting an analog signal into a digital data stream includes a recurrent network with a plurality of converter circuits that individually receive the same analog signal as input. The circuits then generate a plurality of spike outputs that exhibit characteristics of the analog signal. Interconnecting feedback loops from each circuit output to the input of neighboring circuits queues the plurality of spike outputs to thereby self-organize the network. A digital clock is then used to establish predetermined time intervals for counting the spike outputs to create the digital data stream.

International Classification:

G08B 23/00

US Classification:

3405731, 34053912, 600300

Abstract:

A sensor for detecting changes in electrical conductivity in a patient is disclosed. The sensor includes a transmit antenna that has an interior area bounded by a periphery. Importantly, the periphery includes an outer ring portion and an inner ring portion therein that partially surrounds an open area. Further, the sensor includes a receive antenna that has a substantially circular circumference that bounds an interior area. In order to balance the antennas, approximately half of the interior area of the receive antenna is superposed on the interior area of the second antenna. In operation, the antennas are positioned at a selected distance from one another near a patient. Then a signal is sent from the transmit antenna to the receive antenna. The signal is affected by the conductivity of the patient. As a result, the received signal may be monitored to detect electrical conductivity changes in the patient.

A63B 71/06
A63B 69/36

Abstract:

A system for visually tracking the trajectory of an in-flight golf ball through an x-y-z space above a driving range includes a plurality of cameras for respectively creating a video stream of the x-y-z space. Each video stream is presented on a dedicated camera focal plane with information on respective azimuth angles θ and elevation angles ϕ from the particular camera to the in-flight golf ball. A central computer is connected with the camera focal plane of each camera to identify a start point for the golf ball, to track its trajectory in the x-y-z space, and to filter out background clutter. A visual display is provided to show the in-flight golf ball from its start point to a target point in real time.

Abstract:

A system and method for including an entertainment aspect in an individual's training/practice session for throwing/kicking/hitting (i.e. launching) a ball, requires recording a video stream(s) that includes images of the individual's body motions and the resultant flight trajectory of the ball. Images from the video stream(s) can then be used, with appropriate metrics, to study the motion kinetics of the individual and the ball's resultant flight trajectory, to evaluate the individual's performance in launching the ball. Also, images from the video stream can be edited by the individual for subsequent training or entertainment purposes.
