Publication number: 20160184713Abstract: The systems and methods described herein attempt to provide data capture and analysis in a non-intrusive fashion. The captured data can be analyzed for qualitative conclusions regarding an object's actions. For example, a system for analyzing activity of an athlete to permit qualitative assessments of that activity comprises a first processor to receive activity-related data from sensors on the athlete. A first database stores the activity-related data. A second database contains pre-identified motion rules. A second processor compares the received activity-related data to the pre-identified motion rules, wherein the second processor identifies a pre-identified motion from the pre-identified motion rules that corresponds to the received activity-related data. A memory stores the identified pre-selected motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Timothy MOHN, Michael GABRIEL, Jamyn EDIS, Thomas IGOE, Despina PAPADOPOULOUS, Zachary EVELAND

Patent number: 8783762Abstract: For facilitating mounting of a head section of a sleeve, which is used for guiding a line, in a mounting opening, a reinforcing part is provided. The reinforcing part is placed in the radial direction on the line only after the guiding-through of the line and the insertion of the head section in the mounting opening. The reinforcing part is divided at least into two mutually displaceable sections. After the placing of the reinforcing part on the line, the two sections of the reinforcing part are guided together. Subsequently, the reinforcing part is inserted in the axial direction into the head section of the sleeve. By use of the reinforcing part, the sealing effect of the sleeve is improved, and a twisting of the sleeve in the mounting opening is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Manfred Gaemmerler, Michael Gabriel, Johann Brunner

Patent number: 8082563Abstract: The control of access to content via a player system accessible by a plurality of users is described. A default profile is provided including filtering criteria, the filtering criteria describing at least one of characteristic of content permitted for all of the plurality of users and a characteristic of content prohibited for all of the plurality of users. Metadata associated with a selected content and the filtering criteria are compared, and access to the content is permitted or denied based on the comparison. Also, content is selected, the selected content having metadata linked thereto via a pointer. The metadata is obtained using the pointer. The metadata and filtering criteria are compared, the filtering criteria describing characteristics of at least one of permitted or prohibited content. Access to the content is permitted or denied based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2003Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Home Box Office, Inc.Inventors: Michael Gabriel, Bruce Probst, Jeffrey DiBartolomeo

Patent number: 7812266Abstract: A bushing is disclosed with a duct for accommodating a conductor which is surrounded by an electrical field grading insulation. The bushing includes a core with a shell encapsulating the grading insulation and a flange surrounding the shell and carrying through holes distributed over its circumference for allowing the bushing to be attached to a wall. The shell and the flange can be in one piece and include an insulating matrix material. The through holes can be surrounded by metal inserts each forming an annular surface flush with a surface of the flange. A test tap can include a contact pin which is electrically conductively connected to an outermost layer of the grading insulation and surrounded by a contact ring connected to every second metal insert by connection wires for grounding the contact pin via the contact ring when the test tap is not in use and covered.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: ABB Research LtdInventors: Jens Rocks, Vincent Tilliette, Gerd Chalikia, Roger Hedlund, Michael Gabriel

Publication number: 20080282295Abstract: In one embodiment, a communication system transmits video content in a looped manner using wireless communications to a cell phone capable of playing the content in a streaming manner. The cell phone is capable, after the playing of the received video content has been interrupted during a current transmission of the content, of resuming play of the content during a subsequent transmission of the looped content, based on the timing of the interruption. The timing of the interruption is compared to a schedule of content transmissions to determine when to resume the playing of the content, e.g., to enable the playing to resume from the location of the interruption.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2006Publication date: November 13, 2008Applicant: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventors: Michael Gabriel, Craig D.
