Patent number: 9330577Abstract: A system and method are that includes a frame and a weapon mount on the frame that receives a weapon mock-up. The system also includes a substantially non-rotatable sensing platform, coupled to the frame, on which a single trainee stands, where rotational pressure applied to the platform by the trainee generates a virtual orientation signal. The system also includes a head-mounted display worn by the trainee that receives a display signal representative of a virtual environment to be simulated to the trainee; and a controller in electrical communication with the sensing platform and the display, wherein the controller receives the virtual orientation signal and generates the display signal in response such that rotational pressure applied to the platform by the trainee results in rotation of the virtual environment displayed to the trainee. A method for the simulation of a single weapon system in a transportable enclosure is also presented.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Raydon CorporationInventors: Donald Klein, Angelo A.

Publication number: 20070218236Abstract: A re-sealable two-ply in-mold label having a base ply with temperature activated adhesive on its bottom surface and a re-sealable top ply adhered to its upper surface. Two zones of different adhesion intersecure the two plies. A permanent adhesive zone permanently intersecures a margin portion of the two plies to prevent them from being fully separated from one another. A releasable adhesive zone releasably intersecures the remaining portions of the plies. Also disclosed is a method for applying the label to an object including placing the label in a mold, molding an article within the mold thereby activating the adhesive, and removing the article with the label adhered thereto from the mold.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2006Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Donald Klein, Robert Baum

Publication number: 20060196131Abstract: Being an artist,helped to add an artistic expression to the invention,the unique mounting lobe design when incorporated with the custom low profile came and dimensions,is to provide a product with many advantages over other related window decoration products. The lobe design in combination with the low profile came,makes the “Stained Glass Inserts”™., possible to provide a stained glass window treatment that Fits the most common wood and vinyl window sashes to date. A stained glass application that requires no removal of the window glass pane,no window sash adaptations,looks like an original installation and still provide a safe,full function relationship with the window and it's accessories. The design of the inventions greatest asset, to provide easy installation of stained glass to a pre-existing window for persons with minimal home improvement skills.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventor: Donald Klein

Publication number: 20050013423Abstract: Disclosed is a telecommunication system, method and database for use in providing telecommunication services in connection with a usage limited account. Upon receipt of a request to provide telecommunication services (e.g., to set up a wireless telephone call), it is determined whether the account associated with the service has reached or exceeded a usage limit on the account. If the usage limit has been reached or exceeded, the service may still be provided if the service request satisfies certain predefined service criteria. The predefined service criteria may be configured by the account subscriber, thereby providing greater flexibility in setting up telecommunication services.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2004Publication date: January 20, 2005Inventors: Carol Eversen, Donald Klein

Patent number: 6804592Abstract: A method directed to improving the stability of a motor vehicle having front and rear steering capabilities includes determining a coefficient of friction of the road surface with which the motor vehicle is engaged and adjusting a phase gain function of a rear steering mechanism to compensate for the steerability of the motor vehicle over the road surface. A system for improving the stability of a motor vehicle having front and rear steering capabilities includes a control unit, a front steering mechanism in informational communication with the control unit, and a rear steering mechanism in informational communication with the control unit. The rear steering mechanism is responsive through the control unit to road conditions of the road surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2001Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignees: Delphi Technologies, Inc., General Motors CorporationInventors: Steven Donald Klein, Scott M.

Patent number: 6721629Abstract: Disclosed is a method for aligning a position sensor in a vehicle with steerable wheels comprising obtaining an absolute position value responsive to a position signal from a handwheel position sensor, obtaining a relative position value responsive to an encoder signal count from a position encoder, and obtaining an index position value responsive to an index position signal. The method further includes receiving an alignment enable signal and determining a correction factor responsive to the relative position value and the index position value. The method for aligning a position sensor is responsive to at least one of the absolute position value, the relative position value, and the index position value under conditions determined from the status of the alignment enable signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Scott M.
