Abstract
A foot data acquisition apparatus may include an array of inductor-capacitor (LC) tanks, a flexible wall opposite the array, an inflatable chamber between the array and the flexible wall and an electrically conductive material above the tanks between a top surface of the tanks and a top surface of the flexible wall.
Claims15
A foot data acquisition apparatus comprising:
- an array of inductor-capacitor (LC) tanks;
- a flexible wall opposite the array;
- an inflatable chamber between the array and the flexible wall;
- and
- an electrically conductive material above the tanks between a top surface of the tanks and a top surface of the flexible wall.
2 more elements
A foot data acquisition method comprising:
- inflating an inflatable chamber sandwiched between a flexible wall and an array of inductor capacitor (LC) tanks, wherein an electrically conductive material resides between a top surface of the flexible wall and the array;
- receiving signals from the array as the flexible wall is being deformed by an overlying foot;
- determining a profile of the foot based upon signals from the array.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing foot data acquisition instructions to direct a processing unit to:
- concurrently receive signals from a first set of inductor capacitor (LC) tanks underlying a 1st foot and a second set of LC tanks underlying a 2nd foot while the 1st foot and the 2nd foot are deforming at least one flexible wall supported above the first set of LC tank and the second set of LC tanks by at least one inflatable chamber;
- determine a first profile of the second foot based on signals from the first set of LC tanks;
- and
- determine a second profile of the second foot based on signals from the second set of LC tanks.
