Abstract: A computer-implemented method of analyzing and training athletic performance implemented on one or more processors and associated memory includes the steps of capturing a series of images of an individual performing an isolated athletic action; recognizing from said series of images of said isolated athletic action performed; identifying input training markers of said isolated athletic action in said series of images; smoothing said identified input training markers of said isolated athletic action in said series of images to identify and replace anomalies to create a feature curve or continuous estimate of the individual's movement between said images; generating a visual overlay of a set of standardized performance indicators of input training markers on said series of images; and calculating a score of said individual's input training markers of said isolated athletic action relative to said set of standardized performance indicators of input training markers.

Abstract: A prefabricated wall system used in constructing a structure, the system including a wall segment configured to be lightweight and easily handled manually while constructing the structure, and a securing system configured to secure the wall segment in place on the structure.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for creating a lightweight cementatious material for use in building construction. The material can be formed in panels to replace conventional drywall gypsum board. In the disclosed form the product does not include any paper or other components that serve as food for mold and therefore is mold resistant. The material has a composition of Portland cement, foamed glass beads and an acrylic co-polymer. In some forms, sand may be used as a filler and in others, the filler may be polystyrofoam particles and vermiculite.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to prefabricated building wall sections that may be delivered to a building site and subsequently assembled and filled with a lightweight concrete so as to minimize the weight that has to be moved to create a building wall. In one form, the building wall is constructed of a pair of opposed lightweight wall panel members that are joined together by structural trusses with the space between the panel members being filled with a lightweight concrete at the building site. The wall panels are so constructed that they are easily cut to allow electricians and plumbers to have access into the walls for connection of pipes and wiring. In one form, a plurality of the wall units are connected together to form a wall and a pilaster of concrete is poured through a form positioned in the assembled wall sections to provide structural support for the wall.

Abstract: A modem is implemented as a virtual device driver with all processing handled by the host computer thus obviating the need for a stand alone processor for the modem. The modem virtual device driver ensures that the modem obtains adequate processing time regardless of other processes running on the host. By combining a port driver directly into the modem contact code, the need for a hardware UART with its attendant limitations is eliminated.

Abstract: A pre-processor is utilized to create multi-instantiated code from single instance code so that multiple copies of the single instance code can be run without changing the source code of the single instance code. Exemplary implementations include modems running multi-instantiated code, for example in a protocol stack or in a data link control element. Multiple instances of entire modem code set(s) or of portions of a modem code set can be run on the processor of a modem or on a host processor of a software modem. Another application permits a processor having no memory management unit to operate as if it had one. Another implementation enables a single task operating system, such as DOS, to run as a multi-task system. This document describes a simple method of converting ordinary single-instance software into software that supports multiple instances, each with its own data, running simultaneously on a system.

Abstract: DOS application programs are accommodated when using a controllerless modem by providing a virtual device driver. The virtual device driver emulates UART to UART communications and handles interrupts by the DOS applications and by a hardware port managed by the controllerless modem. In one implementation, the virtual device driver shares a communications interface in common with 32-bit applications. In a communication system environment, DOS applications can participate in modem to modem communications with remote DTEs and with other devices using the services of the virtual device driver.
