Patents by Inventor Amir PATEL

Amir PATEL has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11960013
    Abstract: A motion capture system and method are provided. In a motion capture method, a plurality of motion datasets are accessed. Each motion dataset is associated with a motion sensing unit at which timestamped motion data points of that motion dataset are generated, each motion sensing unit is configured to be in physical contact with a different part of a body of interest. Each timestamped motion data point is timestamped at the motion sensing unit at which it is generated using a clock time that is synchronized across the plurality of motion sensing units. The timestamped motion data points are processed to generate a kinematic model which describes motion of the respective parts of the body of interest.

  • Publication number: 20220412824
    Abstract: A ground reaction force plate apparatus and measuring system are provided. The apparatus includes a plate for receiving a force to be measured as applied by a subject to the plate and a plurality of load cells in an arrangement supporting the plate, each load cell being a single-axis sensor with the axis provided at an angle to a plane of the plate and oriented towards a centre of the plate. The load cells are configured to measure data relating to a force vector at the angled single-axis sensor when the subject applies a force to the plate. A data collection controller is provided for logging time series measurements of the load cells over a time in which the subject applies a force to the plate. The system applies machine learning processing to output the load cell measurements as a three-dimensional ground reaction force on the plate by a subject.
