  • Patent number: 11967250
    Abstract: Disclosed is an eye simulator device, wherein same is a medical training aid and includes: an eyepiece having a display configured to project at least one image onto or through a convex shaped front surface of a simulated eyeball of the eyepiece; a support configured to hold the eyepiece; a simulated eyelid pivotally attached to the support; and an actuator assembly having an actuator arm and an electromagnetic (EM) coil in connection with the actuator arm, so as to control a motion of the simulated eyelid, which allows to more realistically mimic the eye, and to more intuitively mimic a motion change of the eye, and it is illustratable to show a change process of the eye by projecting an eye condition, making it easier for a student to understand.

  • Patent number: 7337650
    Abstract: A vehicle sensor system consisting of video, radar, ultrasonic or laser sensors, oriented to obtain a 360 degree view around the vehicle for the purpose of developing a situation or scene awareness. The sensors may or may not have overlapping field of views, or support the same applications, but data will be shared by all. Orientation of the sensor to the vehicle body coordinates is critical in order to accurately assess threat and respond. This system describes methods based on measuring force and rotation on each sensor and computing a dynamic alignment to first each other, then second to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7283904
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for establishing a mobile network in which each mobile unit, such as a car, becomes a node able to receive and transmit a wide variety of information, including for example, traffic conditions, vehicle mechanical/electrical status, interactive game playing information, streaming audio and video, email, and voice mail. In one aspect, multi-sensor fusion technology is used to determine the best value of a monitored variable, for example, the real time locations of each mobile unit, that may be communicated to others via the network. In addition, a new method of traffic control using real time traffic positioning and density data is disclosed. Further, methods and systems for enhancing driver safety are disclosed. In another aspect, the system may use a unique secure dynamic link allocation system to improve the information transfer from one node (mobile unit) to another and to other networks, such as the Internet.

  • Publication number: 20030073406
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for establishing a mobile network in which each mobile unit, such as a car, truck or other vehicle equipped with the multi-sensors, processor and receiver/transmitter of the invention, becomes a node able to receive and transmit a wide variety of information, including for example, information about traffic conditions, vehicle mechanical/electrical status, interactive game playing information, streaming audio and video, email, and voice mail. In one aspect, the invention uses multi-sensor fusion technology to determine the best value of a monitored variable, for example, the real time locations of each mobile unit, that is then optionally communicated to others via the network. The system of the invention also provides a new method of traffic control using real time traffic positioning and density data. The invention also provides methods and systems for enhancing driver safety.

  • Publication number: 20030022656
    Abstract: The present invention enables authentication of a mobile source by verifying that a reported position corresponds to a predicted position within a dynamically defined region of uncertainty. The dynamically defined region of uncertainty can express the statistical confidence of the authentication results. The region of uncertainty is dynamically defined by incorporating position, mobility vector, and other data that are determined during the authentication process.
