Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for providing feedback to a subject in connection with a performance of a task, such as a movement task. The movement task may involve an operation or movement of an object by the subject, such as a body part or a sporting implement. During the movement task, the object has an expected motion path that is associated with one or more target areas. Behavior control feedback may be provided to the subject based on one or more of a position of the object, a motion of the object and an orientation of the object relative to one or more target areas as the subject performs the movement task. One example of an apparatus for providing behavior control feedback includes one or more radiation sources, one or more radiation detectors, and one or more indicators, any of which may be coupled to or otherwise integrated with the object.

Abstract: The aforementioned need is satisfied by the present invention in which a help architecture supports an application and a help engine operating on a computer, where the help engine is for locating help topics relevant to the application.

Abstract: A Web-based fault and alarm management tool that enables customers to monitor and analyze the performance of their voice and data network via a graphical user interface is provided. The tool provides customers an Internet/Intranet access to near real-time alarms, events, and performance statistics and configuration reports corresponding to their switched network, including voice network, broadband, dedicated point-to-point circuits, and signaling services, for enabling customers to make informed network management decisions. A Web-based fault and alarm management infrastructure which enables the secure initiation, acquisition, and presentation of customer reports relating to network management via a Web browser on any computer is also provided.

Abstract: Measurement of curvature and profile of a reflective test surface by simultaneous measurement of slope at two closely spaced points on the test surface. A pair of parallel, nearly collimated light beams, which are slightly displaced relative to each other and of opposite linear polarization, and which intersect the test surface are reflected by the test surface, separated by a polarizing beam splitter and focused onto individual position sensitive detectors, which sense the slopes of the test surface at the points where it is intersected by the beams. The difference between the measured slopes is proportional to the local curvature. The device can be scanned along the surface to give a profile of measured curvature values, which are twice integrated to give the surface profile, although measurement at a single point without any such processing yields the test piece curvature.
