  • Patent number: 9517008
    Abstract: A system for testing the vision of a subject incorporating eye movement tracking is disclosed herein. The system includes a head motion sensing device configured to measure a velocity or speed of a head of a subject, an eye movement tracking device configured to measure an eye movement of the subject, a visual display device configured to display one or more visual objects so that the one or more visual objects are visible to the subject; and a data processing device operatively coupled to the head motion sensing device, the eye movement tracking device, and the visual display device, the data processing device being specially programmed to carry out the steps of the vision tests. A method for the testing the vision of a subject incorporating eye movement tracking is also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 9277857
    Abstract: A system for testing the vision of a subject and/or training head-eye coordination associated with the vision of a subject is disclosed herein. The system includes a visual display device having an output screen, the visual display device configured to display one or more visual objects on the output screen so that the one or more visual objects are visible to the subject; and a data processing device, the data processing device operatively coupled to the visual display device, the data processing device being specially programmed to carry out the steps of the vision tests and training procedures. In one or more embodiments, the system may further include a motion sensing device, the motion sensing device configured to measure a velocity or speed of a head of a subject, and the motion sensing device being operatively coupled to the data processing device.

  • Patent number: 7985194
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a knee (or elbow) band assembly 100 that has a pocket assembly 106 containing a flexible pad 200 with rounded surfaces 112b, 116b separated by a valley 114b. The band assembly 100 is applied to a leg below the knee or to an arm above the elbow to improve body alignment and function and to relieve pain. The rounded surfaces 112a, 116a apply pressure to the limb to aid in alignment of the patellar or triceps tendons and to activate pressure points on the skin to stimulate the release of tension in the body and to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities.
