  • Publication number: 20240424377
    Abstract: A terminal for use with a sports bay. The terminal can receive a first indication of a selection of a plurality of pieces of sports equipment, provide a first prompt to initiate execution of a plurality of interactions between a user and an object, determine a plurality of characteristics to indicate a first performance of a user when utilizing at least one piece of sports equipment of a plurality of pieces of sports equipment, receive a characteristic to indicate a second performance of the at least one piece of sports equipment of the plurality of pieces of sports equipment, provide a second prompt to indicate a first selection of the at least one piece of sports equipment of the plurality of pieces of sports equipment, and receive a second indication of a second selection of the at least one piece of sports equipment.

  • Publication number: 20240424378
    Abstract: A system can include one or more memory devices that can store instructions. The instructions can, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an indication of a selection of a plurality of pieces of sports equipment, provide a first prompt to initiate execution of a plurality of interactions between a user and an object, receive a first set of data corresponding to the plurality of interactions identify one or more images associated with the plurality of interactions, execute a Machine Learning (ML) model to apply bounding boxes to one or more objects included in the one or more images, determine one or more aspects of the plurality of interactions, and generate a performance metric for the plurality of interactions.

  • Patent number: 10416427
    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining an image of object, for example an optical section of a sample, are disclosed. The image includes a plurality of scan lines to be acquired. The method includes, for a current one of the scan lines to be acquired, a step of determining positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on at least one previously acquired predictive scan line. The method also includes a step of acquiring the current scan line along a scan path in accordance with a variable scan speed profile including at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan path corresponding to the positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest and at least one faster speed component elsewhere along the scan path.

  • Publication number: 20140006055
    Abstract: A machine-based system for managing a medical evaluation is provided that includes a memory that has stored a first image taken by a user. A provider views the first image to conduct a medical evaluation. A processor is communicatively coupled to the memory and sends a request to the user to provide a second image for purposes of further conducting the medical evaluation after viewing of the first image by the provider. In some arrangements, the memory may store a condition history.

  • Publication number: 20090163920
    Abstract: A medical device, method and system are provided for stabilizing and/or for fusing bone material, such as vertebra of the spine. The medical device (fusion device) has a pair of clamp members and an optional anchor member that cooperate to securely attach the fusion device to a facet joint of the spine. The fusion device may slide down a guide wire and driven into facet bone material of a facet joint. The clamp members may be pivoted together to grip adjacent bone facets and promote their fusion. Further features include injecting flowable bone fusion material between adjacent bone facets gripped by the device.

  • Publication number: 20070173745
    Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus and method for measuring the distance between the bone anchors inserted into vertebrae comprising two legs pivotally coupled to each other, the two legs are also coupled to a proportional magnifier which is coupled to a scale. The proportional magnifier allows the scale to be easily viewable.
