20030139907, Jul 24, 2003

Filed:

Dec 17, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/248092

Inventors:

Robert McCarthy - Everett MA, US

International Classification:

G06F015/00
G06F011/30

US Classification:

702/183000

Abstract:

A computer-based system is described that provides users with the ability to develop high-fidelity digital quantitative representations of physical and chemical phenomena, and to employ an optimization-based approach to control associated physiochemical processes. The system includes a computational environment, intuitive user interface(s), integrated software libraries, analytical tools, and visualization/rendering engine that together provide an integrated framework for nanoscale modeling, analysis, simulation, and synthesis. Additionally, the system includes an optimal linear control synthesis methodology that incorporates a first order dynamic mathematical representation (of the conceptual molecular system) suitable for applying various pragmatic control system techniques including optimization of structured singular values, linear quadratic performance functions, Lyapunov criteria, or similar, for the purposes of nanoscale fabrication and molecular assembly.

Appl. No.:

10/249321

Inventors:

Robert McCarthy - Everett MA, US

International Classification:

G01S003/02
A63B071/00

US Classification:

342/450000, 482/008000

Abstract:

A computer-based data processing system is described that employs at least one remote sensing device or system capable of providing time-indexed 2D or 3D spatial location, and subsequently uses the location data and other measured or derived data to automatically detect, identify, extract and characterize distinctive athletic performance features such as start and finish times of training regiments (e.g. sprints on a racetrack). Performance data is archived for historical comparison. The preferred embodiment includes visualization media, such as digitized video or icon-based graphical rendering, such that recorded performance data and derived attributes can be associated and synchronized through a common time-index reference. A specific use of this application is to automate the typical point-of-call data collection process widely used for horse racing training workouts, as well as during actual races, though the present invention also has applications that span a broad range of athletic physical training across many sports.

International Classification:

G01S003/02

US Classification:

342/463000

Abstract:

A computer-based data processing system is described that employs at least one remote sensing device or system capable of providing time-indexed 2D or 3D spatial location, and subsequently uses the location data and other measured or derived data to automatically detect, identify, extract and characterize performance features and outcomes for the purposes of derivative-based wagering and gaming. This patent describes a wagering model and user interface application which is in part similar to derivative-based financial securities trading, with specific application to sports wagering by employing real-time spatial tracking capability. A specific use of the present invention is to extend the presently established pari-mutuel wagering and totalisator systems used for thoroughbred horse racing. Additionally, the present invention has similar application to other sports as well as other performance-based events.
