  • Patent number: 9883193
    Abstract: An approach for generating a coding schema for identifying a spatial location of an event within video image data is provided. In one embodiment, there is a spatial representation tool, including a compression component configured to receive trajectory data of a trajectory of an object for an event within video image data; generate a lossless compressed contour-coded blob to encode the trajectory data of the trajectory of the object for the event within video image data; generate a lossy searchable code of the trajectory of the object for the event within the video image data; convert a region of interest within the video image data to a lossy query code, the region of interest corresponding to a sub-section of a visual display output of the video image data; and compare the lossy query code to the lossy searchable code within a relational database to identify a corresponding lossless trajectory data of the trajectory of the object for the event within the video image data.

  • Patent number: 8282502
    Abstract: A golfing training system consists of a trace mat made of non-resilient fiber material that shows the path of a golf club head brushed across it. The trace mat is mounted in a rectangular rubber frame with a top surface of artificial grass. Two string spools are mounted under the trace mat. A string alignment plate can be set to a training angle, then the trace mat is put in place over the alignment plate. Two alignment strings can be laid out. Then the player takes his swing, recording the club head path on the trace mat in relation to his two alignment strings.

  • Patent number: 5112230
    Abstract: A reconfigurable substrate is provided for supporting electrical elements. A conductive strip is disposed on the substrate for linking at least two electrical elements. The substrate has a portion has a portion proximate to the strip for permitting subsequent removal thereof, thereby severing the conductive strip. Thus, a connection of electrical elements may be selectively varied as a function of specification of options which become operative by subsequent removal of a portion of the substrate proximate to the conductive strip.
