  • Publication number: 20210049925
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer products according to the principles of the present inventions may involve a training system for a pilot of an aircraft. The training system may include an aircraft sensor system affixed to the aircraft adapted to provide a location of the aircraft, including an altitude of the aircraft, speed of the aircraft, and directional attitude of the aircraft. It may further include a helmet position sensor system adapted to determine a location of a helmet within a cockpit of the aircraft and a viewing direction of a pilot wearing the helmet. The helmet may include a see-through computer display through which the pilot sees an environment outside of the aircraft with computer content overlaying the environment to create an augmented reality view of the environment for the pilot.

  • Patent number: 10162315
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory, computer-readable medium are disclosed to enable a user to configure a process control system. A graphical programming user interface is described for generating coded native control components instantiated from typical and adapter components selected from a library of templates including respective control functions and associated logical expressions. In various embodiments, typical components represent a common core control process or function that is used among one or more other plant equipment devices in the process control system. In addition, various embodiments of the adapter components include one or more parameters that may be changed by a user in conjunction with the logical expressions and/or defined in terms of natural language expressions. As a result, the typical component and the adapter component are instantiated to provide a native control component that provides functionality with respect to one or more control loops within a process control system.

  • Publication number: 20150127560
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a unified representation of all customer relationships with an entity. This representation focuses on customer products in arrears that are to be recovered. The invention presents an overarching view of all customer relationships to a representative. This allows the representative to make decision and take appropriate actions immediately based on the entire relationship with the customer when a customer communication is initiated. As such, the invention correlates all of the customer's relationships with a financial institution into one unified representation for a representative to review. The unified representation takes into consideration all of the customer's relationships as well as external factors on the communications and relationships. Thus providing a holistic customer service experience for a customer with accounts in arrears.

  • Publication number: 20110039598
    Abstract: A method and device for adding sound annotations to a picture, and a mobile terminal including the device are disclosed. The method adds sound annotations to a picture in the mobile terminal, comprising: selecting and displaying a picture on a display device of the mobile terminal; selecting an arbitrary position on the picture; starting a sound recording function to record sound annotations for said arbitrary position on the picture; and saving the picture and the recorded sound annotations. With the present disclosure, a user of the mobile terminal can conveniently add sound annotations to a photo when the photo is taken with a camera included in the mobile terminal, so as to record wonderful “sound and picture” contents, or edit and send multimedia messages having “sound hyperlinks”. A method and device for adding a visual mark onto a picture, and a mobile terminal including the device are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20100114606
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field online databases. More specifically, this method allows school districts to save money on hiring therapists on a full time basis. The present invention provides an automated method for providing therapy to a student by first having a school district issue a treatment plan to an agency. Next, an automated system generates a recommended schedule for the student. After the schedule is approved, the therapist meets with the student and records the detailed information from each session. Afterward, the school is billed for the treatment plan and the therapist is compensated for the services rendered.

  • Publication number: 20070210283
    Abstract: A Sr(Al,Mg)12O19:Ce,Pr phosphor is described wherein the phosphor has an increased sensitivity to excitation by 185 nm radiation compared to a Sr(Al,Mg)12O19:Ce phosphor. The Ce,Pr-coativated strontium magnesium aluminate phosphor emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation at about 306 nm in the UVB region. Suntan lamps made with this phosphor exhibit improved performance over lamps made with a commercial Sr(Al,Mg)12O19:Ce phosphor.
