  • Training devices for trajectory-based sports
    Patent number: 9238165
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to improving player performance for trajectory-based sports are described. In particular, sporting devices are described that can be utilized to improve player performance in basketball. The sporting devices can include a camera-based system configured to capture and analyze the trajectory of a shot taken by a player. The camera-based system can be configured to provide feedback that allows a player to optimize the trajectory mechanics associated with shooting a basketball. In one embodiment, the camera-based system can be used in conjunction with a training aid that is attached to a basketball rim. The training aid can be configured to improve the trajectory mechanics of individuals utilizing the modified basketball rim to practice their shooting.

  • TESTING DEVICE AND METHODS FOR TESTING TAPE SEAL STRENGTH
    Publication number: 20150346079
    Abstract: A testing device for testing adhesion seal strength of a tape to a substrate. The testing device includes a body defining a chamber having a first port in fluid communication with the chamber, a platform sealingly attached to the chamber and having an elongate opening or a plurality of openings therethrough as a second port of the chamber. The testing device further includes a frame removably mounted to the platform. The frame defines a perimeter that surrounds the second port and, when mounted to the platform, secures a test substrate thereunder against the platform with a fluid-tight seal. Methods for preparing a test sample and methods of operating the testing device are also disclosed.

    Publication number: 20150332450
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to predicting outcome in a sporting environment are described. The methods and apparatus are used to relate trajectory performance of an object to body motions and body orientation associated with a generating the trajectory of the object. When equipment is utilized to generate the trajectory of an object, than the effects of equipment motions and equipment orientation can be also related to trajectory performance. The method and apparatus can be used to predict body motions and body orientations that increase the likelihood of achieving a desired outcome including specifying optimum motions and orientations for a particular individual. The method and apparatus may be used in training, coaching and broadcasting environments.

  • ADD-ON WINDOW INSULATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20150240550
    Abstract: A glazing frame profile configuration (A) used to create an Add-on Window and Door insulation system comprising two layers of preferably transparent glazing panes. The profile configuration has a glazing section (1) followed by a spacer (3) followed by a glazing section (2) and then a second spacer (4). Each glazing section (1 and 2) provides an edge cover to the additional glazing; however the glazing profile configuration does not provide a frame to the existing window pane (B). A preferable method for mounting the add-on unit is to have a leg (12) on the end of the spacer (4) with a mounting tape C attaching it to the existing pane B.

  • Light for Oral Anesthesia Injection Syringe
    Publication number: 20150147713
    Abstract: A light for use with an oral anesthesia syringe that is received into a passageway of a barrel of the light. When the syringe is received into a first opening in a proximal end of the barrel's passageway, the needle of the syringe extends through a second opening at the proximal end of the barrel. A plurality of lamps at the distal end of the barrel illuminate the needle, the interior of a patient's mouth, and an injection site of the needle. A battery is included in the light for powering the lamps. Power is selectively applied to the lamps. A circuit may disable illumination after about ten minutes of use.

  • TRUE SPACE TRACKING OF AXISYMMETRIC OBJECT FLIGHT USING DIAMETER MEASUREMENT
    Publication number: 20150103168
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining a trajectory of a axisymmetric object in 3-D physical space using a digital camera which records 2-D image data are described. In particular, based upon i) a characteristic length of the axisymmetric object, ii) a physical position of the camera determined from sensors associated with the camera (e.g., accelerometers) and iii) captured 2-D digital images from the camera including a time at which each image is generated relative to one another, a position, a velocity vector and an acceleration vector can be determined in three dimensional physical space for axisymmetric object objects as a function of time. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus can be applied to determine the trajectories of objects in games which utilize axisymmetric object objects, such as basketball, baseball, bowling, golf, soccer, rugby or football.
