Abstract: A mobility assessment detects abnormalities in motion using a stagger algorithm. The detected abnormalities are compared to known norms for a particular test to determine if the abnormalities are normal or not. The comparison can be made for abnormalities associated with different diseases and illnesses to classify whether or not the condition exists and its phase. The results may be used to generate a treatment regime.

Abstract: An electronic system for selectively measuring predetermined athletic parameters, such as reaction time and impact energy, and for displaying the results of the measurements is disclosed. The system includes transducer apparatus for sensing a participant's athletic reaction or motion, a selectively actuable timing circuitry responsive to initiation for providing after a pseudo-random delay a start signal to which the participant is to respond, and logic circuitry responsive to the transducer output. The timing circuit utilizes information provided by the logic circuitry and provides outputs indicative of predetermined parameters of the participant's motion or reaction time. The disclosed system further includes display apparatus responsive to the timing circuit outputs for displaying indicia of the measured parameters.

Abstract: A process is described for extracting the most-likely estimate of pitch f a digitized speech signal. For each segment of speech analyzed, a measure of merit is constructed for each of several possible preselected pitch periods. These measures are periodically combined with previous measures of merit to determine a one most-likely choice of pitch period for a previous segment of speech.

Abstract: A solar heat collector has a breather tube provided on the absorber plate to provide communication between the ambient air and air in the airspace of the collector through desiccant material. In this manner, the air pressure in the airspace is equalized to the ambient air pressure without moisture moving into the airspace and the desiccant material is regenerated.
