  • Hearing protection system
    Patent number: 9071894
    Abstract: A hearing protection system including a detection subsystem configured to determine bone conducted sound vibrations and one or more actuators placed proximate a predetermined location on the skull of a user configured to generate cancellation vibrations out of phase with the bone conducted sound vibrations to mitigate the effect of bone conducted sound vibrations on the middle and/or inner ear of a user.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 25, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2015

    Inventors: Anna M Galea, Eric Louis, Kristen J. LeRoy
  • Orientation tracking system and method
    Patent number: 8953154
    Abstract: An orientation tracking system including a first tracking system subject to drift. A second tracking system is configured to provide an output for calibrating the first tracking system to reduce the drift of the first tracking system. The second tracking system includes at least one inclinometer, each inclinometer including a light source adjacent one side of the inclinometer, a light sensor adjacent an opposing side of the inclinometer, and a light obscuring material within the inclinometer for obscuring the light between the light source and light sensor to indicate an orientation of the inclinometer.
