The virtual intelligence shoe with a podiatric analysis system provided with a portable pair of shoe-like body types thereof, into two of which a miniature electronic module and an enclosed sensor mat are permanently embedded in the shoe-like with a mechanical air package enclosing the electronic module to serve as a shock absorption. A miniature electronic module comprises a transmitting circuit with pressure resistance, shoe temperature and warning buzzer for full memory capacity, which receives the variable pressure and temperature voltage signals, convert them into resistance (ohm) and Celsius, respectively. The electrical signals can be emitted in an infrared light signal. An enclosed sensor mat constitutes a thin, flexible, planar, resilient, and dielectric material that arrays seventy-four positions at strategic geometrical pattern to produce the precision of collecting data exerted by a foot or feet continuously and instantaneously in static and dynamic event during the full weight bearing in various activities. The conjunction of a pair of shoe-like body types, a digital foot scanner, a portable infrared light-receiving unit and a central integrator (servers) form a podiatric analysis system for enabling accurate information. An obtained information of each individual can be stored and analyzed for diagnostic means with respect to the foot or feet maladies. The virtual intelligence shoe with a podiatric analysis system is an unconventional, which can ultimately be used by anyone and capable to produce consistent foot or feet information to implement the changes in the foot or feet biomechanics by altering the shoes, orthoses or other modes. In a preferred form, a pair of shoe-like body types is virtually applied to any type of foot or feet maladies and worn daily as if they were conventional shoes under various terrain conditions.

The present invention provides a long-range, untethered, live, in-pipe inspection system that includes a self-propelled train having a plurality of modules; joint members for interconnecting adjacent modules, data collection components, and wireless communication components for transmitting collected data and receiving control messages. The module-train includes, generally, at least one, and preferably two drive modules, at least one power module and an electronics module. The train may additionally include at least one support module, which may be interposed between the power and electronics modules. In one embodiment of the invention, there are two drive modules, one at each terminal end of the train, two power modules, one adjacent to each drive module, two support modules, one adjacent to each power module, and one central electronics and computing module.
