  • Systems and methods for assessing ergonomics utilizing visual sensing
    Patent number: 10646138
    Abstract: A method for assessing ergonomics of a human user in an environment is disclosed. The method includes generating a visual skeletal signal by using a visual sensor. The method further includes determining a first posture sample based on the skeletal signal, by using an electronic controller. The posture sample includes skeletal information including one or both of joint information and positioning information. The method further includes comparing the posture sample with an ergonomically ideal posture sample and determining an ergonomic report based on the comparing of the posture sample and the ergonomically ideal posture sample. The method further includes providing the ergonomic report via an output device.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Glenn Alan Hancock, Tricia Hughes-Paull, David Kanda, Philip Specht, Jerry Zayic

  • Code violation generator and methods of generating code violations
    Patent number: 8599936
    Abstract: Methods of generating coding errors on a communication line include changing a phase and/or an amplitude of a communication signal on the communication line. An apparatus for generating coding errors on a communication line including first and second parallel conductors includes a modulator configured to change a phase and/or an amplitude of a communication signal on the communication line in response to a control signal, and an oscillator configured to generate the control signal.
