Adaptive tennis ball machine
11471741 · 2022-10-18 · ·

A smart ball-machine uses artificial intelligence to train a player or to play with a player. For example, the ball-machine can adjust the tennis ball speed, topspin, bounce according to the player's successful ball return rate. The ball-machine can be preconfigured with a profile of a player. For example, the ball-machine may download a complete profile of a tennis player from a game recording, or may download a file with a customized profile of a player to train a player using the ball-machine. The ball-machine is equipped with a plurality of wheels, motors, and shafts to provide a fully customizable launch of one or more balls. For example, the ball can be launched from the machine from one side of a tennis court to another side of a tennis court with a variety of speeds, trajectories, topspin, bounce etc.

Method and apparatus for early detection of diabetic foot disorders by analyzing foot temperature and vertical and shear forces on feet
11596832 · 2023-03-07 · ·

A system for analysis of user gait and foot disorder intended to minimize risks ulceration and limb amputation associated with the uncontrolled increase of the foot temperature in persons with diabetes. This system comprises a motion, force and temperature sensors and a processing element configured to process motion algorithms, measure ground reaction force (GRF) and changes in foot temperature embedded in the footwear insoles in communication with a smartphone based analysis application using wireless radio interface. The analysis application processes data received from the footwear sensors, compares the results with set of criteria and rules, and if any of the predefined criteria is exceeded, provides alerts to the user and the remote medical supervisor. Additionally, the insoles may be equipped with a haptic actuators configured to determine the level of the user neuropathy by measuring vibration perception threshold (VPT) level.

TRACKING A MOVING SPORTS OBJECT IN VARIED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
20230160693 · 2023-05-25 ·

Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining an effective altitude in relation to a moving sports object. In some examples, a method includes determining respective values for an air temperature, an air pressure, and a relative humidity of an environment of interest. Based on the determined respective values of the air temperature, the air pressure, and the relative humidity, an air density for the environment of interest is calculated to derive a first air density value. A second air density value is derived for a reference environment. An absolute value of a difference between the first and second air densities is compared against a preset comparison value and, based on the comparison being equal to or smaller than the preset comparison value, an output including an indicator of the effective altitude is generated.

Systems and methods for minimally intrusive displays
11624914 · 2023-04-11 · ·

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 an activity metric. The processor is further configured to display, via the display system, the activity metric, wherein the display system is disposed in the eyewear so that the activity metric 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.

TRAINING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, TRAINING MANAGEMENT METHOD, TRAINING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AND TRAINING MANAGEMENT DEVICE
20170361156 · 2017-12-21 · ·

A system that can avoid training overemphasized by a taste of a user and prevent an injury or a trouble from being caused by an unnatural body motion by comparing, between the user and other users, evaluation values of parameters based on exercise data and analyzing training. A training management system includes data detecting means for detecting exercise data related to exercise of a user, parameter calculating means for calculating, on the basis of the detected exercise data, exercise information representing information concerning the exercise carried out by the user, evaluation-value calculating means for calculating an evaluation value of the user on the basis of the exercise information, comparison-target acquiring means for acquiring evaluation values of other users, and comparing means for comparing the evaluation value of the user and the evaluation values of the other users.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR POWER EXPENDITURE AND TECHNIQUE DETERMINATION DURING BIPEDAL MOTION

Training at the proper level of effort is important for athletes whose objective is to achieve the best results in the least time. In running, for example, pace is often monitored. However, pace alone does not reveal specific issues with regard to running form, efficiency, or technique, much less inform how training should be modified to improve performance or fitness. A sensing system and wearable sensor platform described herein provide real-time feedback to a user/wearer of his power expenditure during an activity. In one example, the system includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for acquiring multi-axis motion data at a first sampling rate, and an orientation sensor to acquire orientation data at a second sampling rate that is varied based on the multi-axis motion data.
