Patent number: 8795098Abstract: An instrumented golf club system and methods are disclosed. A variety of golf swing parameters are measured by the instrumented golf club and wirelessly transmitted to a portable computer device. The portable computer device generates a user interface that displays the golf swing parameters against preferred golf swing parameters. The instrumented golf club system allows a golfer to receive feedback in real time while playing golf.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Nike, Inc.Inventors: John T. Stites, Gary Tavares, Carl Madore, Mike Kelly, Raymond J. Sander, Jeffrey A. Hadden, Jeffrey R. Held, Garrick L. Maenle, Gregory S. Kramer, Chad E. Bouton, Clifford N. Dodson, Patrick K. Hoffman

Patent number: 7667890Abstract: The present invention relates to the analysis of specimens. Specifically, the invention relates to methods and apparatus for reviewing specimen slides, including apparatus for holding the slides. The invention also relates to an automatic focusing method for an imaging system and methods for accommodating vibration in the imaging system. In particular, the methods and apparatus may be applied to the automated analysis of cytological specimen slides.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2007Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Cytyc CorporationInventors: Garrick L. Maenle, William J. Knox, David Zahniser

Patent number: 7590492Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer software for screening and assisting in screening biological specimens. Images of a biological specimen are obtained, and image data is generated from the images. Objects of interest (OOI) are identified from the image data. The OOIs are assigned to each of a plurality of fields of interest (FOIs), at least partially based on the assignment of OOIs to other FOIs. For example, OOIs that have not previously been assigned to other FOIs can be assigned to a selected FOI. In this manner, the OOIs can be grouped within the FOIs to maximize the number of OOIs included within FOIs, or alternatively, to minimize the number of FOIs required to include all of the OOIs. Once assignment of the OOIs is complete, a field of view (FOV) can be scanned relative to each FOI in order to present the OOIs to a technician, such as a cytotechnologist.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: CYTYC CorporationInventors: David J. Zahniser, Garrick L. Maenle, William J. Knox, Jr., Ted S. Geiselman, Howard L. Greene, Matthew S. Zelinski, Joseph E. Zambanini

Patent number: 7538861Abstract: The present invention relates to the analysis of cytological material. Specifically, the invention relates to stains and methods of producing the stains, methods of staining cells for cytological or histological analysis to contrast the nuclear portion of the cell from the cytoplasmic portion, and systems and methods for illuminating a cytological sample. The analysis can be automated or manual.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2008Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Cytyc CorporationInventors: David J. Zahniser, Matthew S. Zelinski, Thomas M. Dolash, Garrick L. Maenle, Mark Fleming, John S. Laudo
