Patent number: 8430547Abstract: A reaction-testing system is provided to simulate motion to an individual. Generally, the reaction-testing system includes a motion-simulating device, a reflective device, a control unit, and an input device that is activated by an individual In exemplary embodiments, the motion-simulating device includes a beam that accommodates a first and second plurality of light sources capable of, at least, alternating between an active and idle condition. These light sources are arranged amongst occlusion features in a mounting pattern such that light emitted from the first plurality is directly viewable by an individual and light emitted from the second plurality is indirectly viewed by the individual through the reflecting surface. The control unit is configured to sequentially activate the light sources sequentially to generate pulses of light on that, when perceived by the individual, appear as a light moving along a vector.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Nike, Inc.Inventors: Alan W. Reichow, Herb Yoo, Ryan C. Coulter, Christian Freissler, Dave R. Knaub, Meral Middleton, David Thorpe, Tom Lakovic, Andrew Allen, Josh Hoyt

Patent number: 7950803Abstract: Devices and methods for testing a subject's visual ability are provided. More specifically, the device may include a perspective vision tunnel comprised of plurality of low reflectance walls with one or more mirrors arranged within the perspective vision tunnel. Visual indicia for administering the test of a subject's visual ability are displayed into a first portion of the perspective vision tunnel. The one or more mirrors are arranged to reflect the visual indicia out of the first portion such that visual indicia may be visually perceived by the subject. In accordance with the invention, a subject may be tested utilizing the perspective vision tunnel and input may be received from the individual. The received input may then, for example, be used to compute data related to the user's visual ability.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Nike, Inc.Inventors: Alan W. Reichow, Herb Yoo, Ryan C. Coulter, Christian Freissler, Dave Knaub, Meral Middleton, David Thorpe, Tom Lakovic, Andrew Allen, Josh Hoyt
