  • Publication number: 20240130636
    Abstract: A system for analyzing data from motion capture measurements has a sensor to measure motion capture measurements, a module configured to receive sensor data from the sensors, and a processor configured to analyze to the sensor data received from the sensors and create a report of such analysis. A computer-implemented method of analyzing data from motion capture measurements includes performing motion capture measurements on a subject, receiving motion capture data from the motion capture measurements, processing the motion capture data and the background data on a computer using an algorithm, including comparing the motion capture data and background data to one or more comparator waveforms, generating a report based on the processing analysis, and communicating the results of the report.

  • Patent number: 11911099
    Abstract: The present disclosure enables improved laser treatments by enabling better estimation of laser-tissue interaction to better inform the planning of a treatment path for a laser signal through a treatment region. An embodiment in accordance with the present disclosure uses a laser signal to generate a feature in the treatment region, generates a surface profile of the treatment region that includes the feature, compares that surface profile to another surface profile of the treatment region taken before the generation of the feature, and infers at least one property for at least one tissue type in the treatment region based on the comparison. In some embodiments, the feature is generated such that it includes a plurality of tissue types previously identified in the treatment region, thereby enabling inference one or more properties for each tissue type and/or locating one or more boundaries between tissue types.

  • Publication number: 20230388702
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for a high-frequency waveguide that improves the performance of large-scale surround sound and immersive audio environments. A horn waveguide is configured to be asymmetric about one of a vertical axis and horizontal axis of the waveguide to form an asymmetric horn waveguide. A spherical enclosure surrounds the asymmetric horn waveguide to form a horn speaker, and a three-axis mounting system is configured to fix the horn speaker to one of a wall or ceiling surface of the venue, wherein the mounting system facilitates rotating the horn speaker to a location that provides maximum coverage of the venue within the passband of the asymmetric horn waveguide.

  • Patent number: 11391458
    Abstract: A thermal oxidizer (50) employing an oxidation mixer (51), an oxidation chamber (52), a retention chamber (53) and a heat dissipater (54) forming a fluid flow path for thermal oxidation of a waste gas. In operation, the oxidation mixer (51) facilitates a combustible mixture of the waste gas and an oxidant into an combustible waste gas stream. A heating element (55) of the oxidation chamber (52) facilitates a primary combustion reaction of the combustible waste gas stream into an oxygenated waste gas stream. The retention chamber (53) facilitates a secondary combustion reaction of the oxygenated waste gas stream into oxidized gases. The heat dissipater (54) atmospherically vents of the oxidized gases. An oxidization controller (61) may be employed to regulate the operation of the thermal oxidizer (50), and a data logger (63) and a data reporter (65) may be employed for respectively logging and remotely reporting a regulation of the thermal oxidizer (50) by the oxidation controller (61).
