Patent number: 7031875Abstract: Systems are arranged to provide a user information which relates to objects of interest. A user may point a hand held device toward an object to address it. The device determines which objects are being addressed by making position and attitude measurements and further a reference and search of a database containing preprogrammed information relating to objects. Information relating to objects determined as objects presently being addressed is thereafter presented at a user interface. Devices of these systems include a point reference, a direction reference, a position determining support, attitude determining support, a computer processor and database, and a user interface. Methods of systems include the steps of addressing an object, determining position and attitude, searching a database, and presenting information to a user.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2001Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Geo Vector CorporationInventors: Thomas William Ellenby, John Ellenby, Peter Malcolm Ellenby, Jeffrey Alan Jay, Joseph Page

Publication number: 20040219961Abstract: Devices and articles generally configured as double shoulder strap systems for supporting loads to be carried at ones side are presented. Dual shoulder straps are arranged to cooperate with the human body shapes and human body motions for aiding in carrying heavy loads at ones side or hip. A first strap, a proximal strap is arranged with a special shape in view of the loading direction placed upon the strap and the shape of the should onto which the strap lies. A second strap, a distal strap similarly is arranged with consideration for the loading direction and shape of the should upon which it is intended to lie. The straps are coupled together at a sewn joint with particular care for properly transmitting force evenly. The proximal strap is adjustable in length whereby its position in relation to the distal strap may be changed. A second adjustment is made whereby the positions of the two straps together are adjusted at once.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2003Publication date: November 4, 2004Inventors: Thomas William Ellenby, Peter Malcolm Ellenby, John Ellenby, Jeffrey Alan Jay, Joseph Page

Patent number: 6064398Abstract: An image processing system for producing an augmented image of a real world scene uses an image capturing device that captures a digital image of the real world scene and uses a database of real world scene information. The system includes the storage resources that locate the selected real world scene information in the database using information from at least one of a position determining device for determining a real world position, an attitude determining device for determining a real world attitude, and the image capturing device. The system also includes a video interface chipset for receiving data from the image capturing device and transforming it to a format used by the data processor. The system processes the digital image of the real world scene and the selected real world scene information to form processed data that represents an augmented image of the real world scene.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1996Date of Patent: May 16, 2000Assignee: GeoVector CorporationInventors: John Ellenby, Thomas William Ellenby, Peter Malcolm Ellenby, Kenyon E.
