Abstract: The present invention is a simulator for skill-oriented training. The simulator includes a work piece platform having a sensor, a head-mounted display unit (HMDU) including a camera, a speaker and a sensor providing visual and audio output to an operator, and a controller having a controller sensor. The simulator includes a processor that executes algorithms to simulate a virtual training environment depicting a work piece rendered on the work piece platform. The controller sensor, the HMDU sensor and the platform sensor output signals to the processor representing spatial positioning, angular orientation and movement data of the controller relative to the work piece to render a virtual powder coating spray pattern including a stream having particles charged and emitted from the controller and a powder coating coverage as applied to the work piece during one or more passes of a powder coating spray process performed by the operator.

Abstract: A skill-based training system includes a processing system having a processor, memory coupled to the processor with executable instructions stored therein, and an input-output controller coupled to the processor and to input and output devices. The memory includes lesson plans that outline skill-based tasks and activities, and predetermined performance criteria. The processor is configured by the instructions to present interfaces on the output devices simulating a virtual training environment. The processor is configured to receive input signals representative of performing the tasks and activities in the virtual environment, and to evaluate the performance by comparing the performed tasks and activities to the criteria, to determine a score and to present the score on the output devices.

Abstract: A bench top for a bench seat includes mounting elements for coupling to sides of bench seat members and a seat unit. The seat unit includes: a seating top; front and back members extending generally away from the seating top; ribs extending inwardly from the front and back members that, together with a front lip and a back lip, provide front and back pockets for receiving respective mounting elements therein; and joining elements at opposing sides of the seat unit for cooperating with joining elements of adjacent units. The seat unit is resilient to move the front and back lips away from each other for installation over the mounting elements and to return to a less flexed state as the front and back lips move toward each other when the mounting elements are received in the front and back pockets.
