  • Golf swing analysis system, golf swing analysis method, and information storage medium
    Patent number: 12350568
    Abstract: A captured video image obtaining unit 70 obtains a captured video image in which a player making a golf swing is captured. A swing path type specifying unit 86 specifies at least one reference angle based on at least one of a position of a predetermined body part of the player at address or a position of a shaft at address, where the positions are specified based on the captured video image. A swing path type specifying unit 86 specifies a downswing angle of a club head captured in a captured video image based on the captured video image. The swing path type specifying unit 86 compares the reference angle with the downswing angle.

  • GOLF SWING ANALYSIS SYSTEM, GOLF SWING ANALYSIS METHOD AND INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20220203164
    Abstract: A captured video image obtaining unit 70 obtains a captured video image in which a player making a golf swing is captured. A club head path specifying unit 82 specifies a path of a club head captured in a captured video image based on the captured video image. A launch direction specifying unit 84 specifies a launch direction of a ball captured in a captured video image based on the captured video image. A curve direction determining unit 88 determines a curve direction of the launched ball based on the path of the club head and the launch direction.

  • Method of manufacturing nitride semiconductor template
    Patent number: 9558938
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor template that includes a base substrate of a sapphire substrate and a nitride semiconductor layer represented by a general formula AlxGa1-xN (0.3?x?1) includes: contacting the base substrate with a water vapor atmosphere, nitriding a surface of the base substrate by contacting the base substrate with a nitrogen raw material to form a nitrided area on the surface of the base substrate, and growing a nitride semiconductor layer on the nitrided area.
