Appl. No.:

09/927806

Inventors:

David H. Lambert - Lexington KY 40511
Deborah A. Boehler - Lexington KY

Assignee:

David H. Lambert - Lexington KY

International Classification:

A61B 700

US Classification:

600586, 600529, 128897

Abstract:

Provided is a device for attachment to the head of a horse to enable recording of respiratory sounds in the intensely exercising animal, e. g. , in a breezing Thoroughbred racehorse. Also provided are methods for predicting racing performance in a horse, e. g. , a Thoroughbred race horse, comprising measuring expiratory and/or inspiratory times for a subject horse during exercise and relating such information to anatomy, front leg stance times and/or front leg stance distances and/or to speed (velocity) to determine the animals potential to sustain a superior rate of ground coverage for a desired amount of time and identify a maximum comfortable velocity for the animal. A presently preferred embodiment of the methods of the invention comprises predicting performance via identification of expiratory time determined directly from the analysis of recorded respiratory sound from the exercising animal.

US Classification:

54 61, 54 1, 600529

Abstract:

The invention provides a device and a method for recording respiratory sounds in exercising horses thereby enabling the user identify upper airway abnormalities and/or evaluate athletic potential by, e. g. , measuring expiratory and/or inspiratory times during exercise under field and/or actual racing conditions. In particular, the invention provides a respiratory monitoring system or device in which a transducer or microphone is placed in direct contact with the skin of the subject animal overlying the skull, e. g. , the frontal sinus or nasal turbinates and thereby enable recording and analysis of upper airway respiratory sound from the exercising animal. In one embodiment, the invention provides a device wherein the transducer or microphone is positioned or embedded within a gel pad or other suitable medium and the device placed in direct contact with the skin of the animal overlying, e. g. , the skull, sinus or nasal turbinates of the horse The device of the invention provides an acoustic monitoring system capable of direct attachment to the head of a racing horse which produces an output signal that is not diluted, attenuated or otherwise corrupted by noises such as wind, hoof beats and/or treadmill noises.

Inventors:

David P. Lambert - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

A63B 57/00

US Classification:

473404

Abstract:

A device and a method for training a golfer to putt a golf ball into a hole. The device includes a slope indicator, which provides a visual indication of the slope of the slope of the golf green at the rim of the hole. The golfer marks the slope and practices different lines of approach of the ball to the hole, and at different distances, until he can accurately and consistently sink the putt from any approach on the green.
