  • Patent number: 11417239
    Abstract: An electrical training simulator allows students to assemble electrical circuits, including motor control circuits, utilizing a variety of lab schematics. The electrical training simulator allows an instructor to induce faults into the student-assembled circuit, thereby requiring the student to apply troubleshooting skills utilizing the lab schematic and digital multimeter to analyze and locate the introduced fault in the circuit. Electrical components are fixedly attached to a component mounting plate. In one embodiment of the invention, the instructor introduces the faults through a fault control panel attached to the electrical training simulator, where the fault control panel is not within view of the student. In another embodiment, the faults may be introduced wirelessly through a remote controller.

  • Patent number: 11369844
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for leveraging machine learning to generate posture adjustment values for specific body postures of a player to improve loop drive techniques, such as in table tennis. Video clips of a player hitting a ball with a loop drive technique are analyzed to determine values for specific body postures and qualities of the ball after being hit. A machine learning model is generated to analyze relationships between body posture values and ball qualities. Upon receiving a video clip of a live session of a player hitting a ball using a loop drive technique, the machine learning model is used to generate adjustment values for body postures of the player to impart improved loop drive qualities to the ball, such as faster topspin.
