Abstract: A method and apparatus for driver/operator training includes, in a training system, while presenting a simulation segment: collecting data from at least one input device and analyzing the data to predict a potential future issue. If this analysis indicates that there exists the potential future issue, an informational message is presented to warn of the trainee of the potential future issue.

Abstract: An application for an adaptive training system includes a computer interfaced to one or more graphics displays, one of more input/output devices and having access to a plurality of training segments. The input/output devices are in communication with a trainee. Software operates in either a simulation mode in which a trainee interacts with the adaptive training system as if the trainee was operating a target vehicle or in a training mode in which the trainee receives computer-based training from the adaptive training system, in particular, when the trainee does not perform well during the simulation mode of operation.

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention relate to theater seating, and more particularly to theater seating comprising a user interface that can be used to control various elements of the seat, and allow the user to select the language in which media is presented (i.e., systems and methods for providing language selection technology through interface with cinema servers). Embodiments of this system comprise a touchscreen user interface, a processing and IO circuit board, and a head phone audio jack. In some embodiments the touchscreen user interface comprises a menu selectable device. In some embodiments the menus show various controllable features selected from a list comprising: multiple language outputs with volume controls, position control for the seat back recline and foot elevation, potentially a seat temperature control with heat and cooling, and even potentially a customer rewards number input device capable of theater concessions ordering.

Abstract: A shifter simulator for driver training includes a shaft with a handle affixed to a first end of the shaft and a distal second end of the shaft being interfaced to a shifter mechanism. A first force sensing device is interfaced to the shaft, outputting a value representative of an amount of force applied to the handle in a forward/rearward direction and a second force sensing device is interfaced to the shaft outputting a value representative of an amount of force applied to the handle in a lateral direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to metering and reporting on the compliance of an organisation to government, corporate and/or legal requirements by way of determining a demographic measure of an organisation/business activity, process or function wherein the business activity, process or function comprises a plurality of active participants where each active participant carries at least one uniquely identifiable mobile communications device, the method comprising the steps of: accessing a personal organisation database in operative communication with the mobile device of each participant and extracting calendar and/or scheduling information on each participant from an email service account of respective participants from the database; accessing centralised human resource database of demographic information on respective participants; correlating the personal organisation database records with the demographic information; generating a score for a participant; a meeting; a manager; a department; an organisati

Abstract: A system for securely sharing data and conducting transactions in an electronic environment. The system may include a personal information device having a processor, memory and biometric sensor. Personal data is stored in the memory of the personal information device. The personal information device may be registered with a centralized system. Data stored on the personal information device may be uploaded to an access device upon verification of a user's identity using a biometric recognition technique.

Abstract: A tissue mincer includes a canister defining a chamber and an opening, a lid configured to cover the opening, and a tissue cutter. The tissue cutter includes a shaft and a blade assembly. The shaft includes a proximal portion that is configured to be rotated and a distal portion extending into the chamber when the tissue mincer is assembled. The distal portion is coupled to the blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a first disk, at least one blade spaced from the distal portion of the shaft by the first disk, and a disk retainer that encloses at least a portion of the blade. The blade can rotate relative to at least the first disk when the proximal portion of the shaft rotates. The blade includes at least one cutting edge that is configured to cut tissue as the blade rotates.
