Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a simulation. The method comprises detecting a user input manipulating a virtual control on a control panel displayed in a target output location on a display system in a simulator during the simulation of a platform. Further, the method comprises identifying a sound for the virtual control when the user input is detected. Still further, the method comprises controlling a speaker system to output the sound identified during the simulation in a manner that is perceived by a human operator to be from the target output location.

Abstract: A method for identifying a motion of interest of an individual. The method includes collecting, at a computer, motion sensor input data of motions of the individual from a motion sensor for an interval of time. The method further includes analyzing, using the computer, the motion sensor input data using an analysis application having a set of classified predetermined motions of interest. The analysis application classifies a movement captured during the interval of time as a motion corresponding to one of a plurality of pre-determined motions of interest based on shared relative attributes. The method further includes generating an output providing notice of an identified predetermined motion of interest to a monitoring system.

Abstract: A method for identifying a motion of interest of an individual. The method includes receiving input data from a non-invasive motion sensor measuring movements of a person. The method also includes collecting motion sensor data for an interval of time. The illustrative embodiments also provide for analyzing the motion sensor input data using an analysis application having a set of classified pre-determined motions. The analysis application classifies a movement captured during the interval of time as a motion corresponding to particular a pre-determined motion among a plurality of pre-determined motions. Classification is performed based on shared relative values among the motion sensor input data and the particular pre-determined motion. The illustrative embodiments also provide for generating an output that provides a translation of the movement for identification of a predetermined motion of interest that represents an undesirable ergonomic aspect.

Abstract: A method for allowing a computer to classify an input containing data. A list of categories is received. A sub list of categories is selected, wherein the sub-list comprises those categories in the list that have corresponding distinct correlation scores above a predetermined value. Input data that tends to over correlate to the classification system is received. A truncated snapshot is generated, the truncated snapshot comprising only attributes from the plurality of input attributes that have corresponding input categories that match categories in the sub-list of categories. The data is classified using the truncated snapshot and the classification system.
