Patent number: 8116842Abstract: A process, apparatus, and method for online control and database collection and management of a computerized detection, tracking, and feedback control system. The system tests for nutrients by Raman scattering effects on skin or other tissues to determine the content of carotenoids or other nutrients as evidenced in that skin. Serum levels of nutrients may vary dramatically with time, but skin tissues may average such nutrition over time. Skin and other tissues may be scanned with light to produce accurate measurements of carotenoids or other nutrients accumulated in the skin based on the Raman scattering affect of those nutrients in the skin. A score can be derived from a properly calibrated bio-photonic scanner to reflect an averaged effective uptake of the detected nutrient (e.g. such as the carotenoid example).Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: NSE Products, Inc.Inventors: John Fralick, Kathy L. Chapman, legal representative, David L. Breiter, Jack Peterson, Mindy Gilbert, Marvin Distel, Ryan Newman, Joel Erickson

Patent number: 8117044Abstract: A process, apparatus, and method for computerized detection, tracking, and feedback control of nutritional supplements in an animal, including humans relies on Raman scattering effects on skin or other tissues to determine the content of carotenoids or other nutrients as evidenced in that skin. Serum levels of nutrients may vary dramatically with time, but skin tissues may average such nutrition over time. Skin and other tissues may be scanned with light to produce accurate measurements of carotenoids or other nutrients accumulated in the skin based on the Raman scattering affect of those nutrients in the skin.

Publication number: 20070004528Abstract: A method (500) for fitting a golf club to a golfer is disclosed herein. The method includes having a golfer hit a test golf club. If the test golf club is preferred, a final golf club is formed that matches the test golf club. Preferably, the final golf club matches the following parameters of the test golf club: volume, mass, mass location, inertial values, center of gravity location, club frequency, orientation, material composition and shape. In a preferred embodiment, a test golf club with an interchangeable shaft is utilized with the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2006Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Alan Hocknell, Matthew Cackett, Denver Holt, D. Evans, Daniel Stevens, James Wenck, Steven Ogg, Konrad Lenhof, Jerry Blanke, Joel Erickson
