Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking moving objects in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, an object tracking system comprises a processor, a communications interface, and a memory configured to store an object tracking application. The object tracking application configures the processor to receive a sequence of images; estimate and subtract background pixel values from pixels in a sequence of images; compute sets of summed intensity values for different per frame pixel offsets from a sequence of images; identify summed intensity values from a set of summed intensity values exceeding a threshold; cluster identified summed intensity values exceeding the threshold corresponding to single moving objects; and identify a location of at least one moving object in an image based on at least one summed intensity value cluster.

Abstract: A golf putting-training device attachable to a golf club having a deformable rod member that is be shaped into a triangular configuration with a rod insert end then placed into a rod receptacle affiliated with a golf club fastener element forming a spaced apart triangular guide from said golf club wherethen the user forms a similar triangle extending from their hands, through the arms and between the shoulders and uses the guide to identify unwanted joint flexure or rotation during a putt thereby enabling corrective action.

Abstract: A hair treatment applicator head includes first and second elongate body members. That first body member has a handle portion at a first end and a first treatment surface proximate a second end. The treatment surface bearing a fluid absorbent material. The second body member has a flange for engagement with a treatment fluid supply at a first end and a second treatment surface proximate a second end. A fluid path extends through the body from proximate the flange to a plurality of apertures on the second treatment surface. The first and second elements are hingeably engaged to allow the first and second treatment surfaces to be brought into proximity each other.

Abstract: In multi-telescope arrays that comprise multiple telescopes, a beam-combining module, and flat mirrors for directing light beams from the multiple telescopes to the beam combining module, a laser metrology system is used for monitoring various pathlengths along a beam path where deviations are likely. Some pathlengths are defined simply by a pair of retroreflectors or reflectors at both ends. Lengths between pairs of retroreflectors are measured and monitored by laser interferometers. One critical pathlength deviation is related to the displacement of the flat mirror. A reference frame is set up relative to the beam-combining module to form and define the coordinate system within which the positions of the flat mirrors are measured and monitored. In the preferred embodiment, a pair of retroreflectors along the optical axis of the beam-combining module defines a reference frame. A triangle is formed by the reference frame as the base and another retroreflector at the flat mirror as the vertex.

Abstract: An improved light waveform image sensing system is described. The image wavefront is focused on an image divider and divided into "n"-segments ("n">1) whereupon the "n"-segements are focused on "n"-detector arrays and detected by "S"-detectors ("S">>1) in the "n"-detector arrays.The "S"-detectors may comprise any of the well-known photosensitive elements. A particular useful detector is an electron-beam mode device described in detail herein. The detected signals are combined to produce an electrical signal proportional to the tilt in the wavefront which signal may be used to deform a deformable mirror thereby correcting the image.
