Abstract: A mobility assisting apparatus easily arranged in configurations using elastic band assemblies to assist or resist muscles, provide feedback to the neurological systems, stabilize balance and improve movement patterns of the wearer. The apparatus consists of a chest harness, a waist belt, limb strap assemblies, varying styles of anchoring loops for elastic band attachment, elastic bands of varying difficulty or tension, and shoe attachment assemblies. The apparatus is customized for each user based on their gait or muscle asymmetries and the causes of such asymmetries. Not all components are required for each user. The elastic cord assemblies assist weak muscles, correct range of motion deficits, and/or give neuromuscular feedback during use. The chest harness counteracts the downward pull of the elastic cord assemblies on the waist belt. In addition, the chest harness/waist belt assemblies encourage upright posture and neutral spine mechanics.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to synchronize content display across multiple devices, e.g., in a same physical location. In various embodiments, a content feed comprising a representation of an event is received. A content stream comprising or derived from the content feed and a synchronization signal that associates each of a plurality of portions of the content stream with a corresponding real-world time at the event depicted in the content stream are generated. The content stream and the synchronization signal are provided to a location via a communication interface. Each of a plurality of devices at the location is configured to use the synchronization signal to render the content stream in a manner that is synchronized with one or more other of the devices.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a process to predict a probability of a future event occurring in a present competition includes receiving time-stamped position information of one or more participants in the present competition. The time-stamped position information is captured by a telemetry tracking system during the present competition. The process uses the time-stamped position information to determine a first play situation of the present competition. The process determines, based on at least the first play situation and playing data associated with at least a subset of one or both of a first set of one or more participants and a second set of one or more participants, a prediction of the probability of a first future event occurring at the present competition.

A device may include a first strut hingedly coupled to the support beam and the interface frame, such that the first strut comprises an adjustable length configured to adjust at least one of: a height of the interface frame with respect to the base frame, or an orientation of the interface frame with respect to the base frame. An exercise device may include a second strut hingedly coupled to the support beam and the base frame, such that the second strut comprises an adjustable length configured to adjust at least one of: a height of the interface frame with respect to the base frame, or an orientation of the interface frame with respect to the base frame.

Abstract: A process to partition a video feed to segment live player activity includes receiving, on a first recurring basis, a transmission of a central video feed from a first camera. The central video feed is calibrated against a spatial region represented in at least two dimensions that is encompassed by the central video feed. The process includes receiving, on a second recurring basis, a respective time-stamped position information from each tracking device in a plurality of tracking devices. Each tracking device is worn by a corresponding subject on the spatial region and transmits positional information that describes a time-stamped position of the corresponding subject in the spatial region. The process uses the received information and the calibration to define a first sub-view of the central video feed associated with a first subject. The first sub-view comprises a corresponding sub-frame associated with the first subject.

Abstract: A process to track and provide positional information for display on a remote device includes receiving, on a first recurring basis, time-stamped position information of participant(s) in a competition. The time-stamped position information is captured by a telemetry tracking system during the competition and describes a time-stamped position of each of one or more corresponding participants in a predetermined spatial region. The process includes communicating at least a subset of time-stamped position information to the remote device on a second recurring basis. The remote device uses the time-stamped position information to overlay a representation of one or more of said participants onto a first virtual reproduction of at least a relevant portion of the predetermined spatial region to produce and display an instance of a compiled virtual scene that shows a respective position of each of the participant(s) on the first virtual reproduction of the predetermined spatial region.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing one or more movements of moveable entities (i.e., persons or animals) is disclosed. The system includes a processor that is in communication with a camera. The processor is configured to determine one or more skeletal locations of the one or more moveable entities performing a movement based on a plurality of images captured by the camera. The processor is further configured to determine one or more kinematic measurements of the one or more skeletal locations of the one or more moveable entities. The processor is further configured to compare the one or more kinematic measurements of the one or more moveable entities with an ideal kinematic movement for the one or more moveable entities. In addition, the processor is configured to provide an analysis based on the comparison.

Abstract: Hand positioning accessories for bats and other sporting goods are described. The hand positioning accessory may include an exterior surface that is at least partially concave in shape and comprises a base comprising an apex and an interior surface that is at least partially convex in shape and faces the handle of the sporting good. The exterior surface may also include a plurality of longitudinal ribs/protrusions. The hand positioning accessory may create an ovular-shaped handle region for better performance.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for athlete monitoring through a user interface is provided. The method includes receiving a first and second user input defining a current status of a user associated with a first and second readiness characteristic, respectively, prior to a training session or a match. From the first and second user input a readiness level for the user is determined. The method further includes receiving a third user input defining an exertion level of the user during a previous training session or a previous match, wherein the exertion level is associated with the perceived exertion level of the user during the training session or the previous match. Using the exertion level and duration of the session, a training load level of the previous training session or previous match is determined. The method further includes causing display of the readiness level for the user and the training load.
