Abstract
Abstract A system for testing eye to hand and/or eye to foot coordination, in which the subject being tested employs hand and foot manipulators to control the lighting of selected lamps within banks of such lamps, in an effort to produce patterns of lighted lamps bearing desired spatial relationships to patterns of lighted lamps which are produced in adjacent banks under the control of a fully-transistorized, computer-like control system. The control system imparts great flexibility to the over-all coordination testing system, enabling it to perform a variety of testing and monitoring functions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, said electronic activating means comprising an electronic readonly memory, and means for activating said memory to put out control signals for sequentially activating different ones of said selected displays, and said read-only memory comprising a counter activated by said memory activating means to produce sequentially increasing number signals and means for transforming said number signals into different signals for activating said selected displays; limb operable means for selectively actuating visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; and means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
104 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, said electronic activating means comprising an electronic readonly memory, and means for activating said memory to put out control signals for sequentially activating different ones of said selected displays, and said read-only memory comprising a counter activated by said memory activating means to produce sequentially increasing number signals and means for transforming said number signals into different signals for activating said selected displays; limb operable means for selectively actuating visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; and means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
104 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, said electronic activating means comprising an electronic read-only memory, and means for activating said memory to put out control signals for sequentially activating different ones of said selected displays, and said read-only memory comprising a counter activated by said memory activating means to produce sequentially increasing number signals and means for transforming said number signals into different signals for activating said selected displays; limb operable means for selectively actuating visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; and means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
104 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, said electronic activating means comprising an electronic read-only memory, and means for activating said memory to put out control signals for sequentially activating different ones of said selected displays, and said read-only memory comprising a counter activated by said memory activating means to produce sequentially increasing number signals and means for transforming said number signals into different signals for activating said selected displays; limb operable means for selectively actuating visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; and means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The system of claim 1, further characterized in that four sets of electronically activated displays corresponding to four limbs are provided, and in that successive ones of said different signals activate selected displays within different ones of said sets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
The system of claim 1, further characterized in that said transforming means skips words forming part of the number signals from said counter in such a pattern that a greater quantity of different number signals are produced than inherent in the word capacity of the counter.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The system of claim 2, comprising means for controlling said indicating means to respond only to attainment of said relationship for said different limbs in a predetermined sequence.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The system of claim 2, comprising means for controlling the number of limbs for which said predetermined relation is to be obtained.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
78 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, there being a plurality of separate sets of said displays corresponding to the different limbs; limb operable means for selectively actuating visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation; and means for controlling said indicating means to respond only to attainment of said relationship for said different limbs in a predetermined sequence.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
78 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, there being a plurality of separate sets of said displays corresponding to the different limbs; limb operable means for selectively actuating visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation; and means for controlling said indicating means to respond only to attainment of said relationship for said different limbs in a predetermined sequence.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
68 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, there being four separate sets of said displays corresponding to the four different limbs; four means independently operable by said four limbs, respectively, for selectively actuating four visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; and means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation by all of said visual displays.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
68 words
A system for testing eye-limb coordination comprising: means for electronically activating selected visual displays, there being four separate sets of said displays corresponding to the four different limbs; four means independently operable by said four limbs, respectively, for selectively actuating four visual displays bearing predetermined spatial relation to said electronically activated displays; and means for indicating the attainment of said predetermined relation by all of said visual displays.
