  • Publication number: 20240133692
    Abstract: Method and body garment for pose-driven determination of a location of a body include: selecting a predetermined location of the body; determining a mode of locomotion of the body as the body moves; inferring the movement of the body and direction of the movement over a time period by combining physiological information of the body with calibration data; calculating a path travelled by the body from the predetermined location; capturing spatial environment of the body and its features, and a current location of the body within the spatial environment, by performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) on the path travelled by the body; and calculating navigation information of the body without using a location determining device.

  • Publication number: 20230209290
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using auditorily-induced vection (AIV) to enhance a person's attitude awareness are provided herein. In at least one embodiment, an auditory object is projected based on the orientation of the person or a vehicle and the projected auditory is provided to the person. By projecting the auditory object, the attitude of the person or the vehicle can be conveyed to the person to enhance the person's attitude awareness.

  • Patent number: 8437223
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein relate to an airborne shooter detection system having a plurality of sensors coupled to the body of an aircraft such as a helicopter. The system includes at least five sensors configured and arranged to disambiguate the location of a shooter. By measuring the arrival times of the shockwaves of projectiles at each of the sensors and determining the differences in the arrival times among sensors, the systems and methods may determine the location of one or more sources of the projectiles. A distance of at least ten meters separates two or more of the sensors. Such a separation is advantageous because it allows the system to disambiguate multiple shooters by resolving the curvature of the shockwave.
