Patent number: 9827478Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a body-worn sensor-based system for evaluating the biomechanics and the motor adaptation characteristics of postural control during a sport activity such as a golf swing. Various embodiments use sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to measure the three-dimensional motion of ankle and hip joints. In several embodiments, additional sensors attached to other body segments are used to improve the accuracy of the data or detect particular instants during the swing (e.g., top of back swing, instant of the maximum speed of arm, and instant of ball impact). In a golf embodiment, the system combines the measured data in conjunction with a biomechanical model of the human body to: (1) estimate the two-dimensional sway of the golfer's center of mass; (2) quantify and evaluate the golfer's balance via his/her postural compensatory strategy; and (3) provide visual feedback to the golfer for improving dynamic postural control.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignees: BOISENSICS LLC, ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCEInventors: Bijan Najafi, James Stanley Wrobel, Ali-Reza Boloori

Patent number: 8637102Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to whey protein compositions that can be incorporated into food or beverage products that provide supplemental amounts of protein. The acidified whey protein compositions of the present invention may comprise a liquid whey protein and an acidulant. The liquid whey protein and the acidulant may be blended, and the resulting composition may then be co-dried. The acidulant may be present in an amount effective for reducing the pH of the composition prior to drying to a value less than about 6. Embodiments of the present invention also include methods of preparing co-dried acidified whey protein compositions exhibiting improved organoleptic characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2006Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Glanbia Nutritionals (Ireland) Ltd.Inventors: Brent L. Petersen, Eric D. Bastian, Loren Spencer Ward, Starla J. Paulsen, Stanley A. Wrobel, Jessica A. Marshall

Patent number: 4537068Abstract: A thermal anemometer arranged to measure air velocity over a wide range of ambient temperatures and velocities, and a method of measuring such air velocity free of influence of ambient temperature, in which the anemometer comprises a probe containing two separate and distinct sensing elements, and a hand held electronic read out unit that contains sensing signal electronic processing circuitry, function control, and an analog read out meter, with the probe and read out unit being interconnected by a self coiling cable. The probe sensing elements are a self heated thermistor and a solid state temperature sensing device, that are separately but simultaneously exposed, in use of the instrument, to the air flow, with the energy consumed by the thermistor, and its resulting signal, being an indication of both the velocity of the air stream and the difference in temperature between the forced operating temperature of the thermistor and the air stream ambient temperature.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1983Date of Patent: August 27, 1985Assignee: Dwyer Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Stanley A.
