Patent number: 10657709Abstract: Measurements or models of a human body are generated. An image of the human body may be identified and a fiducial map may be generated. The fiducial map may be compared to pre-processed fiducial maps stored in a data store. A plurality of pre-processed fiducial maps of human bodies may be identified when a correlation between the fiducial map and the pre-processed fiducial maps exceeds a defined threshold. A silhouette image of the human body may be generated based on the image and may be compared to pre-processed silhouette images associated with the plurality of pre-processed fiducial maps. One of the pre-processed silhouette images may be identified when a correlation value between the silhouette image and the pre-processed silhouette images exceeds a defined threshold. Measurements or a model of the human body may be identified based on the one of the pre-processed silhouette images.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Fit3D, Inc.Inventors: Greg A.

Patent number: 6915776Abstract: A premixed charge compression ignition engine, and a control system, is provided which effectively initiates combustion by compression ignition and maintains stable combustion while achieving extremely low nitrous oxide emissions, good overall efficiency and acceptable combustion noise and cylinder pressures. The present engine and control system effectively controls the combustion history, that is, the time at which combustion occurs, the rate of combustion, the duration of combustion and/or the completeness of combustion, by controlling the operation of certain control variables providing temperature control, pressure control, control of the mixture's autoignition properties and equivalence ratio control. The combustion control system provides active feedback control of the combustion event and includes a sensor, e.g. pressure sensor, for detecting an engine operating condition indicative of the combustion history, e.g. the start of combustion, and generating an associated engine operating condition signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2003Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Axel O. zur Loye, Omowoleoa C.

Patent number: 6408625Abstract: An electric power generation system is disclosed, which includes a back-up electric power generator driven by a four-cycle internal combustion engine. The engine includes a plurality of reciprocating cylinders each rotatably coupled to a crankshaft, which drives the electric power generator. The engine also includes a compressor along an intake pathway to deliver pressurized air to the cylinders and a turbine along an exhaust pathway to power the compressor when driven by exhaust discharged from the cylinders. The engine is prepared to accept a generator load by increasing boost pressure provided by the compressor. This increase is accomplished by skip-firing the cylinders in a selected pattern, retarding ignition timing for the cylinders, or a combination of these techniques. A unique skip-fueling control pattern is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Cummins Engine Company, Inc.Inventors: Peter V. Woon, Axel O. Zur Loye, Larry J. Brackney, Jay F. Leonard, Eric K. Bradley, Terry M. Vandenberghe, Jacqueline M. Yeager, Julie A. Wagner, Greg A. Moore

Patent number: 5442920Abstract: A computer controlled, spark-ignited, turbocharged internal combustion engine has stored in memory, turbocharger compressor outlet absolute pressure for desired engine performance throughout the engine speed range at sea level (760 mm. H.sub.g) ambient pressure engine operating conditions. A sensor responsive to absolute pressure at the turbocharger compressor outlet continuously monitors the absolute pressure and compares it with the stored pressure for the engine speed at which the engine is operating at any particular time. When there is a difference, the computer responds to hold or change the waste gate position such as to hold or change the boost to re-establish the same compressor outlet absolute pressure as was stored for that engine speed under sea level ambient conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1994Date of Patent: August 22, 1995Assignee: Cummins Engine Company, Inc.Inventors: Mostafa M.
