Patent number: 8375471Abstract: Fibers, such as textile fibers, having electrical components deposited thereon. More particularly, one or more electrical components are formed directly onto the surface of at least one fiber. The fiber having the electrical component formed thereon may then be interlaced with other fibers to form a larger piece of fabric, which can be employed to produce an article of clothing. A group of transistors and piezoelectric components forming an accelerometer may be woven onto one or more natural or synthetic fibers. The fibers may then be employed as the warp, weft, or both, of a woven piece of fabric, or used to form a knitted piece of fabric. The fabric piece can then be cut and sewn to form a wearable item, such as a shirt, a pair of pants, a hat, or the upper piece of a shoe that includes the accelerometer.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventor: Swatee N.

Patent number: 6591008Abstract: A method for displaying a digital color image to a visually impaired person, includes the steps of: measuring the visual response of the person and specifying a set of enhancement profiles relating to the person's color and spatial frequency visual perception, adjusting the color content of the digital color image in response to a color content enhancement profile; adjusting the spatial frequency content of the image in response to a spatial frequency profile; adjusting the contrast of the image in response to a contrast adjustment profile; and displaying the adjusted digital image to the person.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2000Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Swatee N. Surve, Thomas M. Stephany, Elaine W. Jin

Patent number: 6520905Abstract: A method of classifying an individual's personal preference for an image, comprising: viewing an image for a period of time; and ranking the image on a scale extending between a “detached” feeling and an “attached” feeling, where “detached” is a feeling of not being able to personally connect to the object or situation depicted in the image, and “attached” is a feeling of a personal connection to the object or situation depicted in their image.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1999Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Swatee N. Surve, Girish V. Prabhu, Elena A. Fedorovskaya, David L. Patton, John R. Fredlund, Cecelia M. Horwitz, Jose M. Mir
