  • Patent number: 10551148
    Abstract: At least one shooter-side image sensor captures images of a plurality of shooters and a plurality of respective firearms periodically fired by the shooters. At least one target-side sensor collects data indicative of projectile strikes on a target area associated with at least one target. A processing unit analyzes images captured by the shooter-side image sensor and detects projectile discharges in response to firing of the firearms, and uniquely identifies each of the shooters associated with the detected projectile discharges. The processing unit detections of projectile strikes, based on the data collected by the target-side sensor, and the detected projectile discharges and identifies, for each detected projectile strike on the target area, the correspondingly fired firearm associated with the uniquely identified shooter.

  • Patent number: 10546512
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a learning support apparatus includes a display unit and a processor. The processor executes a process of reading out map data of a designated age from a plurality of map data corresponding to a plurality of ages, and outputting the read-out map data; and reading out, if a position on a map is designated on the output map data, historical information relating to the designated position and the designated age of the map from historical dictionary data, and outputting the read-out historical information.

  • Patent number: 10510267
    Abstract: Implementations relate to medical simulations for medical procedure training. In some implementations, a system includes a simulation processing component including at least one processor and which generates a virtual environment using position signals that describe at least one of a position and a configuration of a physical surgical instrument relative to a physical surgical site. The simulation processing component updates the virtual environment according to changes in the position signals and according to control signals corresponding to inputs by a user of the system. The updating includes moving a virtual surgical instrument within the virtual environment, where an interaction of the virtual surgical instrument with a virtual surgical site is defined at least partly by a physical relationship between the physical surgical instrument and the physical surgical site.

  • Patent number: 10508882
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to simulated hunting devices and methods, and in particular to an accessory for a real or toy firearm that provides a simulated hunting experience in a real hunting environment. A hunting simulation accessory can be attached to a real or toy firearm, such as by attaching the accessory to an accessory rail along the barrel of the firearm. The simulation accessory provides audio and visual responses to the user to simulate a hunting experience, even when no live ammunition is fired.

  • Patent number: 10373279
    Abstract: Embodiments measure knowledge levels of students with respect to knowledge entities as they proceed through a course datagraph macrostructure, and dynamically adapt aspects of the macrostructure (and/or its embedded microstructures) to optimize knowledge acquisition of the students in accordance with their knowledge level. For example, a course consumption platform can parse the macrostructure and embedded microstructures to identify next microstructures to present to the student in such a way that dynamically adapts knowledge entities of the course to a student as a function of the student's present knowledge level associated with the student and difficulty levels of the presented microstructures.

  • Patent number: 10276066
    Abstract: A refreshable Braille display device comprising a rotatable shaft a plurality of pairs of polygonal discs that selectively rotate about the shaft. Each disc comprises a plurality of outer edge surfaces, each of which comprising a plurality of cell elements fixedly disposed thereon wherein, the cell elements comprise pins, depressions, or a combination of both. The cell elements of two aligned outer surfaces of a pair of discs form a character cell representative of a Braille character. An outer surface is rotatable between one readable position and a plurality of non-readable positions wherein, a Braille character is accessible when the aligned outer surfaces are in the readable position. The device further comprises a converter module for converting text to output Braille and an order module for assigning a target outer surface to each disc in accordance with the output Braille.
