Abstract: Motion seat systems and methods of powering motion seating are described. A modular design allows configurations as to the number and arrangement of seats, and provides each person on a seat with the same motion such as pitch and/or roll. The seats can be coupled together. Each seat has one or more rotary shafts that pass under or through the seat. One or more rotating shafts cause each seat to pitch and roll according to the position of the shaft(s). The shaft of a master seat is rotatably coupled to the shaft of one or more slave seats to transfer the motion to the slave seat(s).
Abstract: A method and system for collecting and distributing sense-on-demand data is provided. The sense-on-demand data system uses a network of centralized computers and remote units. The centralized computers may be operated by or on behalf of the operator of the sense-on-demand data system, and the remote units may be operated by users of the network. The remote units may consist of a variety of mobile and fixed-location devices, such as cellular telephones, personal data assistants, laptop computers, desktop computers, and stand-alone data sensor units. The system receives requests for information, identifies remote units that are proximate to the location, forwards the requests to the identified remote units, receives responses from the remote units, and provides responses to the requester.
