Method and apparatus for analysis of gait and to provide haptic and visual corrective feedback
A system for analysis of user gait and to provide correction in form of haptic and visual feedback. This system comprises a motion and force sensors and a haptic actuator embedded in the user shoe insoles in communication with a smart-phone based analysis application, configured to calculate motion and orientation of the user feet in relation to the value, location and distribution of ground reaction forces measured by sensors located in the shoe insoles and after analysis of said forces and motion, to provide haptic feedback to the user foot instructing about the location (and timing) of pressure the user must apply to achieve an optimal gait.
GOLF CLUB FITTING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF GOLF CLUB FITTING
A golf club fitting apparatus and a grip for helping with golf club alignment are provided. The golf club fitting apparatus may be attached to a golf club and provide fitting information including effective lie angle and effective loft angle. An angle indicator is disposed at a predetermined angle relative to a shaft axis of the golf club so as to rest in a neutral position when the golf club is in a normal address position. A grip is provided that may be attached to a golf club shaft such that a butt end and/or distal end of the grip have a surface that helps with golf club alignment. A grip is provided with a front portion having edges that help with golf club alignment.
AMBULATION SIMULATION SYSTEMS, TERRAIN SIMULATION SYSTEMS, TREADMILL SYSTEMS, AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
In particular embodiments, a treadmill may comprise one or more lifting mechanisms configured to lift and lower a treadmill belt (e.g., adjust an angle of the treadmill belt relative to a support surface) by adjusting a height of the front and rear of the treadmill about a pivot point. In particular embodiments, the pivot point may be positioned somewhat centered along a length of the belt. In particular embodiments, a seesaw arrangement may provide a central pivot point, providing a moment arm to the motor while decreasing a moment arm caused by the load (e.g., a runner). In this way, an apparent load on a motor providing incline and decline to the running surface may be reduced.
Systems and methods for minimally intrusive displays with heart rate monitoring and workouts
A system includes a minimally intrusive display system (MIDS) configured to be disposed on an eyewear. The MIDS includes a display system and a sensor system configured to provide for a sensor data. The MIDS further includes a processor configured to process the sensor data to derive a physiological measure. The processor is further configured to display, via the display system, the physiological measure, wherein the display system is disposed in the eyewear so that the physiological measure is only viewed when a user of the eyewear turns the user's pupil towards the display system at angle α from a forward direction.
System and method for targeted neurological therapy using brainwave entrainment with passive treatment
A system and method for targeted neurological treatment using brainwave entrainment therapy with passive treatment that allows for targeted treatment of particular areas of the brain, particular neurological functions, particular neurological states, and combinations of areas, functions, and states. The system and method receive gait parameters for an individual and compare those against a database of historical gait data to determine if an onset neurodegenerative condition is present, and applies a brainwave entrainment therapy responsive to the determination of the condition. The system and method receive a neurological assessment identifying areas of the brain or neurological functions to be treated, select one or more treatment modalities and frequencies, select a treatment regimen, and apply brainwave entrainment using a treatment regimen while the subject engages in dual-task activities selected to stimulate the areas of the brain, neurological functions, or neurological states to be treated, enhanced, or altered.
Golf Ball Analytic Measurement Device and Method
A system for measuring golf ball trajectory characteristics is disclosed. The system includes artificial grass with a launch location for a golf ball and a plurality of wide-angle distance optical sensors mechanically connected to the artificial grass positioned such that a field of measurement of each wide-angle distance optical sensors intersects. The system also includes a central processing unit connected to the wide-angle distance optical sensors, the central processing unit configured to collect distance measurements from the wide-angle distance optical sensors and to determine a velocity of a trajectory of the golf ball from the launch location to the intersection of the field of measurement of each wide-angle distance optical sensors given a distance between the plurality of the wide-angle distance optical sensors, a distance between the plurality of the wide-angle distance optical sensors and the launch location, and the distance measurements from the plurality of the wide-angle distance optical sensors. Once the velocity of the trajectory of the golf ball is determined, the central processing unit transmits the velocity to a display.
Walking training system, display method, and display program
The walking training system includes: a treadmill; a determination unit configured to determine whether a walking of the trainee on the treadmill is an abnormal walking based on predetermined abnormal walking symptoms; a display unit configured to display a result of a determination of each of the abnormal walking symptoms; a reception unit configured receive a selection of at least one result of the determination from the results of the determinations, each of which displayed on the display unit, in which regarding pieces of advice about adjustment items for improving the abnormal walking symptoms in the result of the determination which the reception unit has received the selection, the display unit preferentially displays the pieces of advice that are common to pieces of advice about adjustment items for improving the abnormal walking symptoms in a result of another determination in which the determination unit determines the abnormal walking.
STEERING CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE
The disclosure relates to a steering control device and method for a vehicle and may provide a vehicle steering control device and method capable of doing exercise using the steering wheel of the vehicle to easily do exercise inside the vehicle while driving and preventing drowsy driving.
GOLF BALL IMAGING FOR GOLF ENTERTAINMENT VENUE
Golf entertainment venues with a computing system configured to optically identify and track graphical images located on golf balls hit by players. The graphical image located on a golf ball can be associated with a player and the computing system can assign the player a score when that player's golf ball successfully arrives at a target area. In some embodiments, the graphical images can be printed on the golf balls using, for example, a single pass inkjet printing technique. In some embodiments, the computing system can be configured to sort golf balls based on optically identified graphical images.
SMART DEVICE
An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.
