  • Footwear with enhanced cleats
    Patent number: 9332808
    Abstract: A shoe includes a sole having a plurality of cleats thereon at spaced apart locations. The cleats are configured to enhance the performance of the shoe based upon the specific characteristics of movement of the user. The cleats may include differently configured first and second cleats. Each first cleat includes at least one first directional pattern and each second cleat includes at least one second directional pattern. Individual cleats and methods of assembling and designing a shoe are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2016
    Assignee: Position Tech, LLC
    Inventors: Erek Benz, David Pickard, Daniel T. Nicholson, Christian D. Anderson

  • Spectrum processing and processor
    Patent number: 6526299
    Abstract: An elastic scattering spectrum taken from human tissue is taken and preprocessed by dividing the absorption spectrum into a plurality of wavelength ranges and fitting the measured absorption spectrum to the absorption of predetermined absorption components in some fitting ranges and to a smooth function, such as a straight line, in the remainder of the fitting ranges. The absorption components may include, for example, haemoglobin.
