1 Shoe platform measurement scales US15415190 2017-01-25 US09867555B1 2018-01-16 John A. Thomas
A therapeutic measuring device that determines a difference in length between a pair of legs of a user. The therapeutic measuring device includes a stationary platform and a movable platform. The stationary platform has one leg of the user stand thereon. The movable platform has the other leg of the user stand thereon. The movable platform is moved vertically until the other leg of the user standing thereon aligns with the one leg of the user standing on the stationary platform, with an amount of elevation of the movable platform determining the difference in the length between the pair of legs of the user.
2 Tracking multiple targets in dense sensor fields US10366256 2003-02-13 US06901030B1 2005-05-31 Archibald Alexander Owen, IV; Michael Bruce Goldsmith; Peter Allen Krumhansl; Yevgeniy Yakovlevich Dorfman
The methods and systems relate to tracking targets, and more particularly to tracking multiple targets within a field of densely distributed sensor nodes using wave processing/analysis methods applied to “target-waves” in an observable physical phenomena. The “target-waves” are target induced perturbations of a physical phenomena that are analogous to a propagating wave where the wave propagation velocities are equal to the target velocities. The term “target” refers to an individual object, or a group of objects that can be treated as an entity, whose position, speed, direction, separation, etc. is of interest to a user. Some examples, not exclusive, are military vehicles (e.g. tanks) along a road, people on sidewalks or in halls, and ships at sea.

ファン型X線ビーム(6)でオブジェクト(4)(例えば、ヒトの組織)を走査することによって、そのオブジェクト内のターゲット(2)(例えば、腫瘍)の位置を突き止める方法である。 公知の方法では、オブジェクト上にX線ビームを2回走査した。 第1の走査では、オブジェクトとターゲットの像がX線検出器(10)上に投影された。 第2の走査では、X線ビームの位置と向きが第1の走査におけるX線ビームの位置及び向きとは異なる。 第2の走査の間では更に、オブジェクトとターゲットの影像は、検出器上のターゲットの位置が相互に異なるようX線検出器上に投影される。 この用にすると、検出器面の上方にあるターゲットの高さが、X線ビームの両方の位置及び両方の向きが既知であると、ターゲットの2つの影像間の距離から計算され得る。 本発明では、走査の間に、X線ビームを並進させ且つ同時に回転させることを提案し、並進及び回転動作は、走査の間に、ターゲットの影像が検出器面上に維持されるよう関連付けられる。 このようにすると、走査の間の像の並進dを測定することができ、走査の間の並進Dと回転と共に、その並進から、検出器面の上方にあるターゲットの高さを計算することができる。 このようにすると、1回の走査だけを必要とする。

A method and system for spacecraft navigation using distant celestial gamma-ray bursts which offer detectable, bright, high-energy events that provide well-defined characteristics conducive to accurate time-alignment among spatially separated spacecraft. Utilizing assemblages of photons from distant gamma-ray bursts, relative range between two spacecraft can be accurately computed along the direction to each burst's source based upon the difference in arrival time of the burst emission at each spacecraft's location. Correlation methods used to time-align the high-energy burst profiles are provided. The spacecraft navigation may be carried out autonomously or in a central control mode of operation.

16 METHOD FOR LOCALIZING A TARGET IN AN OBJECT EP02790610.6 2002-12-18 EP1459094B1 2012-04-04 COHEN, Julius, S.; THOMAS, Christine, M.
A method for localising a target 2 (f.i. a tumour) in an object 4 (f.i. human tissue) by means of scanning the object with a fan shaped X-ray beam 6. In known methods the X-ray beam is scanned twice over the object. In the first scan a shadow image of the object 4 and the target 2 in it is projected on an X-ray detector 10. In the second scan the position and the orientation of the X-ray beam 6 differs from the position and orientation of it in the first scan. Also during the second scan a shadow image of the object and the target is projected on the X-ray detector, in such a way that the positions of the target on the detector are mutually different. In this way the height of the target above the detector surface 10 may be calculated from the distance between the two shadow images of the target if both positions of the X-ray beam as well as both orientations are known. According to the invention it is proposed to translate and simultaneously rotate the X-ray beam 6 during the scan, the translatory and rotational movements being connected in such a way that the shadow image 12 of the target 2 is kept on the surface 10 of the detector during the scan. In this way it is possible to measure the translation d of that image during the scan, from which translation in combination with the translation D and the rotation during the scan the height of the target 2 above the detector surface 10 may be calculated. In this way only one scan is needed.
