Patent number: 9575105Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention enable low-power accurate measurement of complex impedance at a range of frequencies of interest to determine a frequency response of a test sample. The system requires only a few external precision components that are not integrated into a microprocessor, thereby, providing a low-cost alternative to existing designs. In certain embodiments, low-power operation is accomplished by utilizing a simplified digital signal processing scheme that requires only a small number of ADC samples. Measurement accuracy is achieved by a digital conversion to baseband that does not suffer from channel matching issues and by utilizing a single analog path.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Kevin James Witt, John Fisher Di Cristina

Publication number: 20160049089Abstract: Software may be used to train a person's movements (e.g., in sports, in training, etc.) by displaying a first recording and a real-time video of a user. The first recording may relate to a motion of an ideal subject, where a first set of points are identified on the ideal subject's body throughout the motion. The video of the user may be displayed while playing the first recording, where a second set of points are identified on the user's body throughout the user's motion. An indication may be provided to the user when a position of one or more of the first set of points corresponds with a position of one or more of the second set of points.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventor: James WITT

Publication number: 20140259667Abstract: A system, kit and method for non-structural surface repair and reconditioning of industrial sized blades includes an initial evaluation and power washing step for identifying required repairs. A surface cleaning step combines power washing with application of muratic acid and various mechanical tools and techniques for removing environmental and chemical buildup. A succeeding step provides for non-structural surface repairs to the blades, such as including filling and reshaping the leading edges with the use of an impact resistant urethane and/or a fast cure epoxy and fiberglass cloth. A finish coating step includes applying a chemically resistant and submersible grade (i.e. water resistant) top coat epoxy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: James Witt, Stephen Witt

Publication number: 20050153457Abstract: In connection with a fluidic medical diagnostic device that permits measurement of the coagulation time of blood, software, methods and associated devices for quality control are disclosed. The fluidic device preferably comprises a test strip with one end having a sample port for introducing a sample and a bladder at the other end for drawing the sample to a measurement area. A channel carries sample from the sample port to an assay measurement area and first and second control measurement areas. Preferably a stop junction, between the measurement areas and bladder, halts the sample flow for measurement. If results from measurements taken for each control fall within a predetermined zone or defined limits, the assay measurement is qualified. If not, an error is registered and the test strip is counted as unfit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Harshad Patel, James Witt
