A light charger charges a plurality of luminescent balls to emit light for use in dim lighting. The charger is a housing subdivided into a hopper section, a transport and light charging section, and a base section. The transport and light charging section includes a transport assembly integrated with a light charging assembly, with the transport assembly configured to receive and transport luminescent balls from the hopper into and through the light charging assembly, which comprises at least one light source. The light source comprises at least one LED and an illuminating light panel interposed between the LED and the luminescent ball when operating. The base section comprises an ejection exit point for the charged luminescent ball to exit the light charging assembly and a sensor for activating the system to eject at least one luminescent ball.

Apparatus for charging luminescent golf balls and automatically disbursing

A light charging system charges at least one luminescent object to emit light and includes a housing comprising an openable lid, an interior, and at least one interior wall, wherein the openable lid provides a light proof seal when mated with the at least one interior wall. A light source comprises an illuminating light panel interposed between at least one light source and the interior to illuminate and charge a luminescent object when operating. An electronic housing contains at least one battery and an on/off switch. A/C or D/C power can be used.

Apparatus for charging and maintaining luminescent objects

A method of objectively quantifying assessments of joints having arthritis for purposes of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The objective measurements utilize known imaging modalities including 3D scanning, thermal imaging, visible and near-infrared imaging and two-dimensional imaging to quantify swelling, heat distribution, erythema, and range or motion. The objective measurements can be combined in various ways to assess the extent of the disease and can be used to adjust treatment protocols.

Method of assessing localized shape and temperature of the human body

A method of assessing a body part includes obtaining two or more types of data through a combination of two or more of the following four imaging modalities: (1) obtaining surface topography data of the body part, (2) obtaining thermographic data of the body part, (3) obtaining range of motion data for the body part, and (4) obtaining spectral data of light reflected from the body part. The two or more types of data are integrated to allow them to be interacted with simultaneously, and the body part is assessed based on the integrated data.
