Patent number: 11721239Abstract: An incident simulation system supports an incident exercise in a virtual environment. The incident simulation system accesses a simulation plan defining an incident within a theater of operation. The incident simulation system simulates the incident exercise by displaying, to a participant in the incident exercise, images representing what the participant would see within the theater of operation as the participant moves within the theater of operation. The incident simulation system further simulates the incident by generating incident data indicating effects of the incident at target locations and at target times as the participant moves within the theater of operation. The incident simulation system further simulates the incident by displaying to the participant images representing the user experience that a detector would provide based on the generated incident data.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Gregory K. White, William H. Dunlop, T R Koncher, Steve Kreek

Publication number: 20180068582Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for simulating emergency events includes: a signal generator operatively coupleable to one or more detectors; and a controller operably coupled to the signal generator and configured to cause the signal generator to: generate one or more synthetic signals based at least in part on data comprising one or more of: trainee identity, trainee role, synthesized data, and one or more measurements taken during a simulation; and communicate the synthetic signal(s) to the detector(s) by injecting the synthetic signals) directly into a position of a receive path of the detector(s) that is upstream of signal processing electronics of the detector(s) and downstream of a sensor of the detector(s). The synthetic signal(s) is/are waveform signals representative of at least one emergency event; and the synthetic signahs) is/are utilized to mimic conditions during emergency event(s) and under particular emergency conditions. Corresponding methods and computer program prodcuts are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Inventors: William H. Dunlop, Tawny R.

Patent number: 9836993Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a signal generator operatively coupleable to one or more detectors; and a controller, the controller being both operably coupled to the signal generator and configured to cause the signal generator to: generate one or more signals each signal being representative of at least one emergency event; and communicate one or more of the generated signal(s) to a detector to which the signal generator is operably coupled. In another embodiment, a method includes: receiving data corresponding to one or more emergency events; generating at least one signal based on the data; and communicating the generated signal(s) to a detector.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: William H.
