Patent number: 11864896Abstract: Computer based systems and methods for estimating a user state are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods comprise inputting a first input at an intermittent interval and a second input at a frequent interval into a user state estimation model to estimate the user state. In some embodiments, the first inputs are enhanced by injecting a noise input to create a plurality of enhanced first inputs whereby the plurality of enhance first inputs correspond to the plurality of second inputs at the frequent interval. In some embodiments, the first input comprises a self-reported input and the second inputs comprise a physiological input, a performance input or a situational input. In some embodiments, a machine learning algorithm creates the state estimation model. In some embodiments, the state estimation model estimates a future user state. In some embodiments, a computer based system for estimating a user state is provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Aptima, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Durkee, Scott Pappada, Andres Ortiz, William DePriest, John Feeney, Alexandra Geyer, Seamus Sullivan, Sterling Wiggins

Patent number: 11532241Abstract: In one example embodiment of the invention, a simulation based training system is provided having a sensor that unobtrusively collects objective data for individuals and teams experiencing training content to determine the cognitive states of individuals and teams; time-synchronizes the various data streams; automatically determines granular and objective measures for individual cognitive load (CL) of individuals and teams; and automatically determines a cognitive load balance (CLB) and a relative cognitive load (RCL) measure in real or near-real time. Data is unobtrusively gathered through physiological or other activity sensors such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors. Some embodiments are further configured to also include sociometric data in the determining cognitive load. Sociometric data may be obtained through the use of sociometric badges.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Aptima, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Beaubien, John Feeney, William N.

Patent number: 9869036Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a composite fabric having internal axial tows includes a support member configured to engage the fabric substantially up to a composite component form. The support member includes a nonslip portion directly engaging a first outer surface of the fabric. The apparatus further includes a primary securing member engaging and applying pressure on the fabric at a second outer surface of the fabric opposite the first outer surface. Upon displacement of the axial tows of the fabric relative to the first and second outer surfaces, the support member and the primary securing member substantially maintain original configurations of the first and second outer surfaces of the fabric engaged between the support member and the primary securing member.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: GKN Aerospace Services Structures CorporationInventors: Christopher John Feeney, Steven Robert Hayse, David Andrew Rogozinski, Rene Alfred Varrato

Patent number: 9793672Abstract: In a composite component having a laminate body, a conductive layer and a connector can be joined to one another using an intermediate flexible circuit. Among other things, this flexible circuit places the conductive layer and the connector in electrical communication with one another. Furthermore, during the forming process and because of its thinness, the flexible circuit integrates well with the layers of the laminate body and can accommodates some spatial displacement of the connector and conductive material relative to one another.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2012Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: GKN Aerospace Services Structures Corp.Inventor: Christopher John Feeney

Patent number: 8869361Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for applying a compaction pressure to a fabric during formation of a fabric preform. One end of the fabric is applied to the form having a central axis. The form with the fabric applied thereto is at least partially surrounded with a film. This film extends along a film path to the form and around at least a portion of the form. The fabric and the film are fed onto the form such that the fabric is wrapped around the form to create the fabric preform while the film is fed around the form. A vacuum is drawn to evacuate a gas from between the form and the film, thereby pressing the film onto the fabric and applying the compaction pressure to the fabric.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: GKN Aerospace Services Structures, Corp.Inventors: Christopher John Feeney, Steven Robert Hayse
