  • Patent number: 11906292
    Abstract: An example of a method for time-resolved calculation of a deformation of a body comprises calculating (110) a model of the body during the deformation. The method further comprises calculating (120) a predicted X-ray image for the body for a plurality of time points during the deformation based on the model. The method further comprises obtaining (130) one measured X-ray image of the body each for the time points during the deformation. The method further comprises modifying (140) the model based on the predicted X-ray images and the measured X-ray images.

  • Publication number: 20230366649
    Abstract: A combat training system for carrying out and monitoring at least one shooting practice and combat scenarios, comprising: at least two components, with a first component being a firearm and a second component being a target object; a device for sensing position information of each of the at least two components; device for sensing spatial orientation information at least for the at least one firearm of the at least two components; and an information processor, in which position information of the at least two components and the orientation information of the at least one firearm is processed and transformed into at least result information. The at least two components each have a clock, which are time-synchronized with each other and each generate coded time signals with a component identifier which individualizes the respective component, and an event sensor is provided on each of the at least two components.

  • Patent number: 9063167
    Abstract: A piezoresistive transducer is disclosed having a framework including a support element attached to a bending element that undergoes a deformation relative to the support element when a force acts on the bending element including a neutral fiber whose length does not change during the deformation. At least one piezoresistive expansion body is attached to the support element that exhibits a piezoresistive material and converts the deformation of the bending element into an electrically detectable change in resistance.
