  • Publication number: 20210302128
    Abstract: A laserless combat simulation device includes at least one processing device and a memory device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processing device cause the at least one processing device to receive a trigger event from a weapon device. The instructions further cause the at least one processing device to receive image data from an optical sensor array of the weapon device of a field of view of the weapon device, receive position information and orientation information of the weapon device at the time of the trigger event, analyze the image data to determine an identity and location of a target, and calculate a ballistic outcome based at least in part on the position information and orientation information of the weapon device, the identity and location of the target, and ballistic characteristics of a simulated round fired from the weapon device.

  • Patent number: 10989833
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus is provided for a grain loss monitoring system associated with an agricultural material. The sensor apparatus includes a housing with a first wall including a transparent panel. The sensor apparatus includes at least one acoustic sensor arranged within the interior and configured to collect an acoustic data stream of vibrations associated with the agricultural material striking the transparent panel; and at least one optical sensor arranged within the interior and configured to collect an image data stream of images of the agricultural material through the transparent panel. The at least one acoustic sensor is configured to provide the acoustic data stream and the at least one optical sensor is configured to provide the image data stream such that a verified grain count is determined based on the acoustic data stream and the image data stream.
