Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise a glove with a connecting member (a ring) at the glove's palm and back for connecting the glove to a resistance device or exercise machine. One or more adjustment straps and retention bands attached to the fingers, provide a secure fit, and retain a finger connecting member therein. The finger connecting members form a loop, pass through a d-ring attached to each finger, and the loops attach to the ring. The ends of the connecting members are attached near the finger tip, which is covered by a cap. An adjustable cuff near the wrist enables the user to fasten the glove securely. When connected to a resistance device or exercise machine, the glove helps to increase connectivity and transfer force through the hands and fingers.

Abstract: An expert system and method for aircraft mission modeling using a matrix application, a preferred embodiment of which is incorporated into Mission Modeler software used in conjunction with Satellite Toolkit (STK) software. More generally, the invention is an expert system that draws on an extensive set of basic building blocks that represent standard aircraft maneuvers and concepts, and assembles those building blocks into complex and realistic sequences that represent aircraft motion with very high fidelity. One benefit of this invention is that it provides a simple system and method for users with no piloting experience to generate highly realistic flight paths.
