  • Publication number: 20220316884
    Abstract: A system and apparatus for identifying a position based on multiple inertial measurement units (IMU). An exemplary embodiment may include multiple IMUs fixed to a support surface which houses a control unit. The IMUs may be arranged in opposing pairs in order to identify and cancel out the bias or error of each individual IMU. The control unit may employ parallel processing and an AI system to calculate an accurate position based on measurement data from the IMUs.

  • Patent number: 10970618
    Abstract: A process of using a logical entanglement device such as a non-volatile logic gate as a failsafe to constrain the behavior of an autonomous machine controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI). Such a device may be employed to extend an AI self-boundary to include other objects or entities such as humans. This logical entanglement device may act much like a mirror neuron and cause the AI to respond to human nonfunctionality or suffering as if it were its own, causing the AI's behavior to reliably mimic empathy and compassion when interacting with humans and limiting the possibility of the AI devaluing the functionality and well-being of humans.

  • Patent number: 10869628
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for whole-mind cognitive interface. Such a system includes a bodily-integrated artificial cranium, computer, RF antenna, and transceiver array to seamlessly augment the human brain with artificial intelligence (AI) and permit enhanced cognitive functions, and human host feed-back-based neurological rewiring.

  • Patent number: 6359835
    Abstract: A device for influencing human behavior comprises an audio system arranged to produce a sound wave that may be directed to a selected location and a video system arranged to produce a light beam that may be directed to the selected location. The audio system preferably comprises a frame and an array of sound generators mounted in the frame; The frame preferably is formed generally as a tube having a longitudinal axis, an open end and a closed end with the sound wave being emitted generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube. The video system preferably comprises either a flash tube or a laser.
