  • Publication number: 20180236339
    Abstract: A body part movement detection system and method, for use in training for a sport in carrying out a swing in a target direction, includes a transmitter configured to transmit signals over the course of the swing, using a form of radiation consisting of acoustic and electromagnetic, a first detector configured to receive the signals from the transmitter and to produce a first output related to a first distance of the body part to a first reference location, a controller configured to receive successive first outputs from the detector and to evaluate the successive first outputs in relation to at least one previous first output, to determine whether the body part has experienced motion having a component in the target direction by an amount in excess of a threshold, and an alert system configured to generate an alert to the user when the body part has experienced such motion.

  • Publication number: 20090319573
    Abstract: The invention is an Internet based Geographic Information System (GIS), which resides totally on Internet servers, allowing users to access and use the system on the Internet from a browser or equivalent, thus requiring no user installed software. The system provides enough core GIS capability to allow creation of GIS data layers but is user friendly enough to provide access to users who are not GIS specialists. The system supports sharing of data among users, and supports data compatibility with platform based GIS installations. Use of the novel GIS permits communities of users sharing common interests associated with a geographical area to communicate using a map base medium.
