Abstract: A whole-body mathematical model (10) for simulating intracranial pressure dynamics. In one embodiment, model (10) includes 17 interacting compartments, of which nine lie entirely outside of intracranial vault (14). Compartments (F) and (T) are defined to distinguish ventricular from extraventricular CSF. The vasculature of the intracranial system within cranial vault (14) is also subdivided into five compartments (A, C, P, V, and S, respectively) representing the intracranial arteries, capillaries, choroid plexus, veins, and venous sinus. The body's extracranial systemic vasculature is divided into six compartments (I, J, O, Z, D, and X, respectively) representing the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the central body and the lower body. Compartments (G) and (B) include tissue and the associated interstitial fluid in the intracranial and lower regions.

Abstract: A learner clicks “Understood” button when he or she could understand a learning material or clicks “Not Understood” button when he or she could not understand. When the “Not Understood” button is clicked, the learning server machine transmits an explanation choice information to display a Web page including a knowledge tree that shows a structure of the learning material. The Web page contains headings of explanations and choosing ratios as end-nodes of the knowledge tree. The explanation describes the learning material in detail. The choosing ratio is a ratio of each of the explanations chosen by learners who attended the same lecture using the same learning material.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of evaluating emotional intelligence through emotional intelligence quotient testing. There are four levels of the emotional mind and each level is assigned a grade. A series of questions are asked on specific emotions, and answers are graded according to the mental level these answers are coming from. This test enables an individual to learn where he or she stands with respect to each specific emotion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for enabling a moving person to control body movements to be performed by the person. The system comprises a video camera and a monitor for the output of the recorded video image as well as a means for inserting at least a mark indicating the position to reach during execution of a movement of a predetermined body position in the video image.

Abstract: An automated interactive form of data collection is disclosed that addresses the deficiencies of the standard method of personal interviews and the typical paper-based and computer-based surveys. Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) can provide data in a faster, more accurate and comprehensive manner, while providing the justification of their responses immediately. Using these data, an instructional analyst can continue the Instructional Systems Design process utilizing SME data that are complete and conclusive, without the need for extensive follow-up questioning. The database files generated by the survey software are available to the analyst for analysis and inclusion in the resulting training system analysis document.

Abstract: Detonating projectiles are fired into a target area by a weapon, the time between firing and detonation being one second or less. By setting the target location at the same distance as e.g. the edge (1) of a building (3), however laterally displaced with respect to that edge, it is possible to obtain an effect also in an area invisible to the bearer of the weapon. For simulating this weapon, for example in house-to-house fighting, it is proposed to affix devices (5) comprising a sensor (22) and a transmitter (27) to obstacles. When the weapon is fired, a simulation device provided on the weapon transmits a firing signal to the sensor (22), the latter activating the transmitter (27). Similarly to the real effect of the weapon, the transmitter (27) emits an impact signal in the impact area (7) which also includes the mentioned area which is invisible to the bearer of the weapon.

Abstract: An integrated evaluation and simulation system for ground combat vehicles interactively evaluates concept design decisions and design requirements in the context of an operational ground combat vehicle. The combat effectiveness of a ground combat vehicle may also be concurrently tested by virtual simulation. A computer system is programmed to implement a causal network model comprising an integrated collection of analysis models for creating a virtual representation of a ground combat vehicle. The integrated evaluation and simulation system includes a user interface operatively coupled to at least the computer system to selectively input data into the causal network model and receive information therefrom, and at least one virtual simulation system. The system can further include either a virtual simulation system operatively coupled to the causal network model or, as part of the computer system, a virtual simulation system interface to communicate with a separate virtual simulation system.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining the identification of selected objects for use in connection with an electronic children's toy, which apparatus includes a plurality of objects, each of the objects including several object contact elements, and an identification member, including several member contact elements. The identification member is configured such that at least two of the member contact elements come into electrical contact with at least two of the object contact elements when the identification member is engaged with one of the objects, forming a complete electrical circuit. A processing unit associated with the identification member then is able to uniquely identify the particular object which is engaged with the identification member by means of an electrical signal generated by the processing unit. The processing unit then provides feedback to the user by audio, visual and/or tactile means corresponding to the particular object selected by the user.

Abstract: A learning method and system are disclosed that assess a learner's understanding of the subject matter and the learner's preferred learning style by presenting and reviewing the information in various types of teaching strategies and then selecting the teaching strategies in which the student learns best. As the student responds to questions presented during the course, a learning bias model is developed for the learner based on which teaching styles provide the best level of comprehension for the learner and then presents concepts from the course within those learning strategies most suitable to the student.

Abstract: The simulator of the invention is based on a number of functional units connected directly or remotely to the central computer for controlling the operation and recording the shooting results. The weapon unit is untethered and includes a real hand gun equipped with a snap-on emitter unit to send simultaneously two beams of light upon pulling the trigger—a wide angle infrared beam and a narrowly focused and aimed at the target light beam. The infrared beam is registered by the sensor near the screen and a signal indicating a firing event is sent to the computer. The light beam, preferably from a laser source is sent towards the screen, reflected therefrom towards the optical block and travels through a number of fixed and rotating mirrors and through a light divider to the light sensor. That sensor when activated sends the HIT or MISS signal to the computer.
