Abstract: A physical activity instructional apparatus that enables at least audio instruction, detection of movement and audio feedback based on the detected movement during the performance of a sequence of positions or moves. Embodiments enable a human to learn a sequence of martial arts moves, dance steps, yoga positions, golf, tennis or baseball swing, or any other type of physical activity involving a sequence of positions or moves, for example while being prompted to perform the positions or moves in sequence. Embodiments may utilize a mobile device that includes at least an audio output and which then detects movement and then provides audio or tactile feedback based on that movement to inform the student as to the correct or incorrect performance, for example without requiring a visual display.

Abstract: An evaluation system and method are provided for simulating clinical care of a virtual patient. A database of electronic medical records (EMRs) is established, with at least one EMR including a plurality of EMR items collectively profiling the virtual patient. A simulation management unit coupled to the database includes a plurality of selectively executable control modules. At least one control module defines a simulation scenario; and, at least one other control module generates a duplicate EMR of the virtual patient for each of a plurality of simulation participants. At least one evaluator station establishes interactive interface for an evaluator. A plurality of participant stations establish interactive access for the simulation participants to a corresponding one of the duplicate EMRs during a simulated clinical encounter with the virtual patient.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a multi-sensory manipulation system. The multi-sensory manipulation system is useable to train one or more senses through the manipulation of one or more sensory inputs as perceived by a user. The multi-sensory system may be used train a variety of senses, such as vision, hearing, olfactory, taste, touch, and the like. Consequently, the multi-sensory system may be comprised of a first sensory vitiation device that vitiates a sensory input for the first sense. The multi-sensory system may be comprised of a first sensory vitiation driver that generates vitiations instructions useable by the first sensory vitiation device. The multi-sensory system may also be comprised of a controller to coordinate one or more sensory drivers and/or one or more sensory vitiation devices to allow for the training of one or more senses through the manipulation of multiple sensory inputs.

Abstract: An educational and interactive system for teaching children the importance of maintaining proper nutrition in order to induce healthy growth utilizing an interactive audio system that updates a child regarding the child's height and outputs pre-recorded messages. A system having an elongate member adapted to determine accurate height measurements of a child, the elongate member having a measurement indicator extending from the top of the face of the elongate member to the bottom of the face of the elongate member, the elongate member with a series of food decals disposed at predetermined locations on the face of the elongate member.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and flight simulators are disclosed to present infrared images detectable by night vision devices. A video signal may be received. The video signal may be configured to generate a viewable image substantially within a human visible spectrum. The video signal may include one or more of a red component, a green component, and a blue component. The video signal also may be configured to generate one or more infrared images. The one or more infrared images may be substantially outside the human visible spectrum and may have an infrared component detectable by a night vision device. In response to the video signal, the red and green components may be separately modulated to generate red and green portions of the viewable image. The blue component and the infrared component may be collectively modulated to generate a blue portion of the viewable image and the one or more infrared images.
