Appl. No.:

10/131920

Inventors:

Steve Lamb - Union City CA 94587-1234

International Classification:

A47G 900

US Classification:

5638, 5636, 5953

Abstract:

A surgical prone pillow structure utilizing a base member formed of a compressible resilient material which rapidly assumes an original configuration upon the release of pressure. A upper member formed of a molded resilient closed cell foam material is also employed. The upper member possesses a soft outer surface which is contoured to contact the head of a patient while the patient lies in a prone position. The base member and the soft upper member are connected to one another to form seams which are soft to the touch.

International Classification:

A63B 69/36
A63B 57/00

US Classification:

473199

Abstract:

A system is described for monitoring the swing path of a golf club head and for monitoring flight characteristics of a golf ball following impact. A processor utilizes data from spaced apart spaced sensor arrays in determining the club head speed and head angle of a golf club during the swing phase of the club. Image capture devices captures successive images of the ball after impact, and the system processor generates data reflecting ball flight characteristics based on a comparison of the images.

International Classification:

A61G 13/08
A61G 13/02

US Classification:

5618, 5621

Abstract:

A surgery table utilizing first and second sections which are hingedly attached to one another. First and second sections are also connected to supports apart from the hinged portion. An elevator moves one of the sections upwardly and downwardly at the support. The resultant position of the frame formed by the first and second sections may take the configuration of a flat surface or an upwardly or downwardly oriented “vee”.

Assignee:

Mizuho Orthopedic Systems, Inc - Union City CA

International Classification:

A47B 7/02

US Classification:

5608, 5601, 5618

Abstract:

A surgery table utilizing first and second hinged supports that form a frame supporting a patient. First and second connectors hold the first and second supports to first and second piers. Each pier is formed with a base with a linked positioning mechanism for each connector and support member. Each positioning mechanism utilizes a column and a first arm having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The first arm proximal portion is axially rotatable relative to the first column. The second arm possesses a proximal portion and a distal portion such that the second arm proximal portion is axially rotatable relative to the distal portion of the first arm. The second arm distal portion links to the frame connector. A controller determines the axial rotation of the proximal portions of the first and second arms to determine an overall configuration of the frame.

International Classification:

A63B 57/00

US Classification:

473199000

Abstract:

An golf flight path and swing monitoring apparatus includes a first and second spaced-apart sensors for determining club head speed during a golf downswing. A computer running a software program is configured for calculating the swing path, club head speed and club head angle at impact with a ball based on the monitored light signals of the sensors. Multiple temporally successive images of the ball after impact are captured for comparison and total ball flight characteristics determination. The golf ball has a stripe at least halfway around its surface that is apparent within each image notwithstanding the rotated position of the ball. Linear extrapolations of the marking and circumferential extrapolations of the images are automatically performed by the computer. Three-dimensional positions, preferably based on calculated diameters, are calculated based on the circumferential extrapolations. Initial backspin, sidespin and three-dimensional velocity of the golf ball are calculated based on the circumferential and linear extrapolations, and on the curvature and position of the stripes, and the calculated three-dimensional positions. The sensors are used to trigger the shuttering of the camera and flashlamps used to capture the images. An impact image can also be captured and the relative position of the club head to the ball at impact observed and evaluated. The energy transfer efficiency of the impact between the club head and ball may also be determined and compared with other transfer efficiencies of other impacts of other swings.
