  • Publication number: 20070111767
    Abstract: A system and method for recording an individual performing an activity such as a golf swing includes a kiosk structure with an easy to use intelligent user interface to allow the individual to use the recording to analyze his or her own performance. The system accommodates input from multiple cameras to allow the playback of different views of the activity without the need to reposition the capture portion of the system in a different location, and can correct or partially correct the images that contain conventional distortion from fish-eye or other lenses that are used to provide close-up images, thereby allowing the use of the system in the spaces of existing facilities. The system may include an array microphone in the kiosk to detect the hit of the target ball while rejecting hits from adjacent stalls, which enables the system to identify and synchronize, at the point of impact, multiple video images of the same swing or of different swings.

  • Patent number: 7117165
    Abstract: A software system efficiently procures operating resources within an enterprise. A requisition record generating module generates a requisition record for a requisition. The requisition record indicates at least an operating resource that a requestor desires to purchase. The requisition record generating module generates the requisition record responsive to a combination of input by a requestor and operating resource information in an operating resource information database. An approval path determining module. responsive to the requisition record and to approval rules in an approval rules database, determines an approval path for the requisition record, among various ones of a plurality of possible approvers, required to approve the requisition record. An approval path handling module guides the requisition record along the determined approval path, and the approval path handling module generates a global approval indication in response to the requisition record successfully traversing the approval path.
