Patent number: 11871082Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for media playback based on cue points. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to instructional media components (e.g., video, audio, and/or text) that focus the user's attention on details of proper form. The cue point navigation system enables the user to navigate the instructional media according to specific movement cues. Notably, the UI minimizes navigational complexity, while simultaneously maximizing user comprehension. As described in greater detail herein, hybrid media playback advantageously provides the user with different ways to absorb the instructional information.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: MyFitnessPal, Inc.Inventors: Gloria Wu, Scott Laing, Lauren McKenna

Patent number: 11660150Abstract: A surgical tool for compact articulating during surgical procedures includes a pitch cable, at least one yaw cable, a first link, a second link, at least one end-effector link, and at least one tensioning mechanism. The first link has a pitch joint end with a pitch joint pin and at least one yaw cable guide channel. The second link has a yaw joint end with a yaw joint pin. The second link is rotatably connected to the pitch joint pin. The at least one end-effector link is rotatably connected to said yaw joint pin. The yaw cables are coupled to the end-effector links such that the yaw cables can actuate the end-effector links about the yaw joint pin. The yaw cable guide channel is configured such that the yaw cables travel through a smooth trajectory to the end-effector links. The tensioning mechanism is configured to maintain a constant length.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: THE HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDRENInventors: Dale J. Podolsky, Thomas Looi, David Fisher, Karen Wong, Eric Diller, James Drake, Christopher Forrest, Gloria Wu

Patent number: 11541278Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing workouts via exercise specific user interface elements. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to exercise specific user interface elements (e.g., floating smart timers, etc.) that are automatically pre-populated with data based on prescribed workout information. The user is provided a workout that includes a number of different exercises, and their prescribed completion values. The user can perform the workout and quickly log the pre-populated completion values (if accurate), or alternatively manually enter actual workout data. Additionally, the user can quickly transition through their “checklist” of exercises, based on the prescribed ordering of the workout. The resulting workout data record can be automatically logged at the end of the workout session. The exercise specific user interface allows a user to log workout activity with minimal distraction.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: MyFitnessPal, Inc.Inventors: Lauren McKenna, Gloria Wu, Scott Laing

Publication number: 20220351638Abstract: A vision stimulation platform is designed for stimulation of brain pathways and retinal cells for vision training and enhancement. Modules of eye exercises are provided to a user, where each module includes an ordered sequence of eye exercises to be performed by the user. The eye exercises comprise one or more screens showing an animated display for the user to view for a time period less than a threshold time (e.g., 10 seconds). The animated display has a color, movement, or pattern designed to stimulate a specific visual pathway of the brain or the retina of the user, and the set of displays is designed to achieve a purpose (e.g., eye relaxation, vision precision, stroke treatment, etc.). At least one of the eye exercises comprises an interactive portion for the user to interact with one or more items on the screen to test the motor cortex of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventor: Gloria Wu

Publication number: 20200323420Abstract: A hand-held endoscopic multi-tool includes a dextrous hollow tube, a cap, a main body, a tool body, an endoscope and a tool. The dextrous hollow tube has a generally rigid portion at the proximal end and a bendable portion at the distal end. The cap is operably attached to the distal end of the dextrous hollow tube and the main body to the proximal end. The tool body is moveably connected to the main body and moveable in a linear direction relative to the main body and co-axial to the tube. The endoscope is housed within the tube and operably attached to the cap. The tool is housed within the tube and constrained by the cap such that the tool is operably coupled to the movement of the tube and the tool is operably attached to the tool body whereby movement of the tool body moves the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2020Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Gloria WU, Marko MIKIC, Kevin Aisin GIORO, Thomas LOOI, James DRAKE, Alexander ALVARA, Arushri SWARUP

Patent number: 10172570Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing dynamic displays. In one embodiment, a method is provided wherein health parameters having goals associated therewith are displayed; data relating to the health parameters is received and the display is incremented according to a progress of the user toward the goal. When collection of the data is completed, it is determined whether a current value of a first one of the heath parameters within a predetermined range of the goal associated therewith. When the current value of the first one of the health parameters is within the range, a portion of the display relating thereto is upgraded. When the current value of all of the health parameters is within the range, upgrading the entire display. The display upgrades may comprise display of an animation and/or using color, light, and/or flashing to simulate a shining or shimmering of the display.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: Marcus Pina, Gloria Wu, Andrew Moore, Scott Laing
