Abstract: A method is generally described which includes processing wind profile information in sports applications. The method includes receiving wind profile information detected using electronic remote sensing. The method also includes computer modeling at least one user action in a sports context. The wind profile information may then be applied as an input to the computer simulation system and be applied to the user action in the computer simulation system. The computer simulation system may then generate or calculate an estimated user result.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing or deploying medical or veterinary utility modules comprising a first module operable in a digestive or respiratory tract to engage a second module, optionally by a magnetic field. Alternatively or additionally, systems may be operable to remain in situ and also operable to permit a therapeutic material dispensation. In some contexts, for example, systems or methods may dispense a therapeutic material via a subject's throat or elsewhere in the digestive or respiratory tract.
