Abstract: A self-contained speed indicator (10) that can be placed next to a weldment (11) and configured for a desired speed, which then provides a target speed indicator (10) to help a welder (14) practice maintaining that desired speed.

Abstract: A system for assessing electrical wiring skills that includes an electrical assessment circuit for transmitting a unique power signal through each of the hot, neutral and ground wires in an electrical circuit, whereby correctness of wired connections can be detected and wiring defects can be reported with an identification of the specific wire or wires that are incorrectly connected.

Abstract: A system (10) and method for determining welding speed employing a series of optical sensors (28) positioned along a weld joint (12) that collects light source location data during an actual weld.

Abstract: In one aspect the pregnancy simulation outfit comprises (i) a vest, (ii) a pair of protuberances configured and arranged on an upper portion of a frontal area of the vest for depicting the enlarged breasts of a pregnant woman when the vest is worn, (iii) a weighted element, and (iv) a pouch in a lower portion of the frontal area of the vest accessible from the outside surface of the vest for accommodating insertion and removal of the weighted element into and out from the pouch while the vest is worn without doffing the vest.

Abstract: An infant simulator with a neck linkage connecting the head to the torso which includes at least (a) a longitudinally extending central shaft fixedly attached to the torso proximate the lower end of the central shaft, (b) a socket fixedly attached to the head, (c) a ball fixedly attached to the central shaft and pivotally captured within the socket for permitting pivoting of the socket relative to the central shaft as between a longitudinally aligned central rest position and a longitudinally angled position, and (d) preferably a spring coaxially positioned around the central shaft and captured between the socket and the upper end of the central shaft, whereby the spring biases the socket into the longitudinally aligned central rest position.
