Patent number: 8571463Abstract: The present invention is directed to interactive training, and in particular, to methods and systems for computerized interactive skill training. An example embodiment provides a method and system for providing skill training using a computerized system. The computerized system receives a selection of a first training subject. A training challenge related to the first training subject is accessed from computer readable memory. The training challenge is provided to a user via a terminal, optionally in verbal form. A first score related to the correctness and/or completeness of a verbalized challenge response provided by the user is stored in memory. A second score related to how quickly the trainee provided the verbalized challenge response is stored in memory. A third challenge score related to the confidence and/or style with which the trainee verbalized the challenge response is stored in memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Breakthrough Performancetech, LLCInventors: Martin L. Cohen, Edward G. Brown

Patent number: 8565668Abstract: The present invention is related to interactive training. In one embodiment, a training system presents a stored scenario to a user via a terminal. The user is provided with the ability to intervene and stop the pre-recorded scenario to identify an error in handling the situation presented in the scenario and/or an opportunity presented in the scenario. Once the user has intervened, the user can be presented with a question regarding the opportunity and/or error. The user is scored based in part on the number of errors and/or opportunities that the user identified and optionally on the user's response to the question.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: BreakThrough PerformanceTech, LLCInventor: Martin L.

Publication number: 20130073957Abstract: Learning content management systems and processes are described that enable a user to independently define or select learning content, frameworks, styles, and/or protocols. The frameworks may be configured to specify a flow or an order of presentation to a learner with respect to a learning content presentation. The style definition may define an appearance of learning content. At least partly in response to a publishing instruction, the received learning content and the received framework definition are merged and then rendered in accordance with the defined style. The rendered merged learning content and framework definition are packaged in accordance with the defined/selected protocol to provide a published learning document.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2012Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCETECH, LLCInventors: John DiGiantomasso, Martin L.

Publication number: 20090036778Abstract: An ultrasonic Doppler probe is provided for use in connection with non-invasive Doppler imaging of fluid flow within the human body. The Doppler probe can be selectively operated at more than one frequency during the course of a Doppler imaging examination thereby enhancing the resolution of the image obtained while also increasing the effective depth of the image. The probe of the present invention employs piezo-electric materials for the formation of acoustic transmitting and receiving transducers that are positioned within the probe to allow the probe to be selectively operated at a number of different frequencies spanning no more than one octave in frequency range.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: UNETIXS VASCULAR INCORPORATEDInventors: Martin L.
