Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for scanning feet of an individual for generating insoles for shoes of the individual. The individual may create a profile for storing information associated with the individual, including shoe information and the scans of the feet of the individual. The insoles may be generated based on the scans of the feet of the individual in addition to the shoe information.

A device for monitoring human feet can include: a transmissive sheet configured to bear at least 90 kg supported at a height of no more than 23 cm, and a foot image capture system below the sheet. An optical image sensor can capture a field of view including at least 250 cm.sup.2 of the surface of the sheet. The device can have a central reflective element positioned below the sheet directly above the sensor and two outer mirrors such that two fields of view at least 250 cm.sup.2 each can be focused onto the sensor by a lens. Foot sole images can be automatically captured when a patient stands on the device. Images can be transmitted to a database and associated with the patient by analyzing the images for a unique predetermined metric.

The invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel co-surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

A holding device (5) for a mobile device (6) in a motor vehicle, which holding device is arranged so as to be easily accessible by vehicle occupants in the region of an interior furnishing item such as a control panel, a center console or the like in the passenger compartment (1) of the motor vehicle and includes a visible receiving element (7) for the mobile device, wherein the receiving element, by means of an insertion opening (8), surrounds a relatively slim housing body of the mobile device. To optimize the holding device, the receiving element has an insertion plate (11) which contains an orifice (34) of the insertion opening and can be inserted into an opening of the interior furnishing item.

A measurement apparatus comprising a base for receiving an object to be measured is disclosed. The base is provided with a pattern that is visually different in different locations. An abutment element is moveable relative to the object and the pattern, the moveable abutment element being configured to partially cover the pattern from an imaging apparatus and provide at least one datum point for the imaging apparatus for determining measurement data for the object based on the at least one datum point and a part of the pattern remaining visible for the imaging apparatus. Methods, imaging apparatuses and a system for generating and processing measurement data are also disclosed.

A therapeutic measuring device that determines a difference in length between a pair of legs of a user. The therapeutic measuring device includes a stationary platform and a movable platform. The stationary platform has one leg of the user stand thereon. The movable platform has the other leg of the user stand thereon. The movable platform is moved vertically until the other leg of the user standing thereon aligns with the one leg of the user standing on the stationary platform, with an amount of elevation of the movable platform determining the difference in the length between the pair of legs of the user.

A foot pronation estimation apparatus includes a pronation estimator that estimates a degree of pronation of a foot, with reference to comparison between a feature value of a predetermined part and a reference value. A feature value extractor extracts, from a top-view image, feature values of a plurality of parts including at least a width of foot and an amount of a recess of an arch shape. A pronation estimator estimates a degree of pronation of the foot, with reference to comparison of each of the feature values of the plurality of parts including at least the foot width and the amount of the recess of the arch shape, with an individually corresponded reference value. The feature values of the plurality of parts further include foot length and an amount of protrusion in an outline shape near a little toe ball.

Methods are disclosed for measuring the size of body parts treated by a compression therapy device. Either the volume or circumference of the body part may be measure. The methods my include evacuating an inflatable compression sleeve to a known pressure, inserting the body part into the compression sleeve, inflating the sleeve to a pre-set condition, and then measuring one or more inflation related parameters. The pre-set conditions may include a predetermined pressure, volume, or size of the inflatable cells comprising the sleeve. The inflation related parameters may include the time to fill the cell to a pre-set pressure, the pressure attained after a pre-set time of inflation, or the measure volume of a cell after a pre-set amount of air is introduced into it. The methods may also include deflating the cells from the known inflation state to a second inflation state and measuring similar parameters.

Physiological assessment scale systems and methods are implemented using a variety of approaches. According to one implementation, a scale measures the physiological data of a user engaging sensor circuitry on a platform region of the scale. In a physiological assessment mode, physiological data of the user is detected at respective states of physical exertion. The physiological data is then processed by user-targeted circuitry to determine physiological parameters of the user pertaining to the respective physical exertion states, such as may pertain to an increase in exertion or a reduction in exertion. These physiological parameters may, for example, be used to provide an indication of the physical health and fitness of the user. Such parameters may then be associated with the user and saved to a data-access circuit, and also forwarded to a display which communicates the physiological parameters among other information to the user through the platform region.

The measuring device for comprehensive screening for children and adolescents includes a base and a body in the form of a component vertically ending at the top with an arm mounted at the angle of 90, rotationally in the horizontal plane, positioned on the base. On the arm, there are a motion sensor system and a height measurement system. Additionally, on the vertical component, there is at least one interactive electronic device, a bioelectrical impedance (BI) measurement system, and a waist and hip circumference measurement system. The base includes a built-in body weight measurement system. The object of the invention is also a measuring system.
