Patent number: 5884913Abstract: A golf tee shot-green placement monitoring system for monitoring golf tee shots to a designated green of a three-par golf course hole for determining the placement of such tee shots upon the green in connection with hole-in-one and closest-to-the-pin contests or challenges. The system comprises a club house base unit, a tee unit, and a green unit. Upon payment of a specified nominal fee, the participating golfer is issued a game card at the club house terminal. Upon reaching the designate three-par hole tee, the golfer inserts the card, or inputs encoded data, into the tee unit which then activates the green unit. Upon driving the tee shot, the green unit, comprising photodetectors and ultrasonic ranging devices, determines the achievement of a hole-in-one or the placement of the tee shot within specified distances from the cup or hole. If the golfer achieves a hole-in-one or places his tee shot within the specified distances from the hole or cup, prize money is awarded.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: March 23, 1999Inventor: Daniel E.

Patent number: 5533503Abstract: A nasal dilator that prevents the outer wall tissue of the nasal passages of the nose from drawing in during breathing comprises a truss member. The truss member includes a flexible strip of material having a first end region, a second end region and an intermediate segment. The first and second end regions are adapted to engage the outer wall tissue of first and second nasal passages of the nose. The intermediate segment is configured to traverse a portion of a nose located between the first and second nasal passages. The truss member further includes first and second resilient bands secured to the strip of material adjacent opposite edges of the intermediate segment. The resiliency of the first and second resilient bands acts to stabilize the outer wall tissue and thereby prevents the outer wall tissue of the first and second nasal passages from drawing in during breathing.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Creative Integration & Design, Inc.Inventors: William J. Doubek, Daniel E. Cohen, Bruce C. Johnson

Patent number: 4776345Abstract: Such representations may include the average frequency value of electroencephalographic signals, the logarithm of the power of electromyographic signals, and eye movement indications from electrooculographic signals. Criteria for dividing the records of such representations in the system into stages of sleep can be set by a system operator reviewing these records based on accepted stage definition rules. In addition, transient events such as sleep spindles, etc., in these records can be selected therefrom by criteria set by the system operator also based on accepted rules therefor.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1987Date of Patent: October 11, 1988Assignee: CNS, Inc.Inventors: Daniel E.

Patent number: 4610259Abstract: An electroencephalograph (EEG) signal analyzer allows the examination of the changes in EEG cerebral activity at various sites in response to an event (e.g. a stimulus or task). The analyzer includes one or more signal processing modules which periodically sample the EEG signal from each of the sites, convert the sampled signals to digital sample values, and store those values. Digitized waveforms based on the stored digital sample values and having a length equal to or greater than the period of the lowest frequency of interest are transformed from the time to the frequency domain. For each of a plurality of epochs, a frequency spectrum is produced having frequency content which has a content uniquely due to the digital sample values from that epoch. A weighted means frequency value for each site during each epoch is derived from the corresponding frequency spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1983Date of Patent: September 9, 1986Assignee: CNS, Inc.Inventors: Daniel E. Cohen, Frederick T. Strobl

Patent number: 4579125Abstract: An electroencephelograph (EEG) signal analysis system automatically determines and displays, on a real-time basis, the frequency content of spontaneous EEG signals from the brain. The analog EEG signals from a plurality of channels are sampled and converted to digitized EEG waveforms during a continuing sequence of epochs of predetermined time duration. The digitized EEG waveform for each epoch and channel is transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain to produce a frequency spectrum representing amplitude of the EEG signal as a function of frequency. The digital data is screened both prior and subsequent to the transformation to identify those epochs which contain artifacts. During each update period, the frequency spectra for each channel from the artifact-free epochs are averaged. The amplitudes of each averaged frequency spectrum for frequencies in each of four basic frequency bands are then summed. The result is an amplitude value for each of the four frequency bands at each channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1984Date of Patent: April 1, 1986Assignee: CNS, Inc.Inventors: Frederick T. Strobl, Daniel E. Cohen

Patent number: 4362333Abstract: A self-supporting table infant chair includes back, seat, and sidewall portions integrally formed from thermoplastic resin material by means of rotational or injection molding techniques so as to form a one-piece bucket-type chair. An upper set of laterally spaced arms project outwardly from the sidewalls of the chair, while a lower arm projects upwardly out of the seat portion of the chair. The upper and lower arms cooperate so as to define a horizontal channel therebetween within which a projecting portion of a dining table can be disposed and from which the chair will be supported. The upper arms comprise the ends of a C or U-shaped tubular member disposed within a horizontal plane, while the lower arm comprises one end of a C or U-shaped tubular member disposed within a vertical plane, the other end of the tubular member being integrally connected to the central portion of the upper arm member whereby the arm members form a one-piece composite member of substantially T-shaped construction.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1981Date of Patent: December 7, 1982Inventor: Daniel E. Cohen
