  • Patent number: 10089895
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with producing an immersive training content module (ITCM) are described. One example system includes a capture logic to acquire information from which the ITCM may be produced. An ITCM may include a set of nodes, a set of measures, a logic to control transitions between nodes during a training session, and a logic to establish values for measures during the training sessions. Therefore, the example system may also include an assessment definition logic to define a set of measures to be included in the ITCM and an interaction logic to define a set of interactions to be included in the ITCM. The ITCM may be written to a computer-readable medium.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4959767
    Abstract: An identification technique that includes a closed loop parameter estimation algorithm for process gain, time constant and deadtime. The estimation algorithm uses time integrals of system variables responding to a step input. Proper selection of the integrals (control areas) results in a set of equations which are solvable for desired process parameters.
