Assignee:
Advanced Training System LLC - Tampa FL
International Classification:
G09B 19/16
US Classification:
434 71
Abstract:
An application for a shifter simulator for driver training includes a shaft with a handle covering an upper end of the shaft. An upper plate is coupled to the shaft and is slideably interfaced to a lower plate by a plurality of linear bearings, allowing the upper plate to slide in a Y direction with respect to the lower plate. There are spring loaded Y ball detents attached to the lower plate which interface to Y detent grooves attached to the upper plate. The spring loaded Y ball detents and Y detent grooves provide a plurality of natural stopping locations similar to those of a transmission of the target vehicle. A shift arm guide is affixed to the shaft and interfaces to an H-gate. The H-gate is affixed to the lower plate and has detents such that the H-gate and shift arm guide simulate gear shifting positions.

System, Method And Apparatus For Driver Training

US Patent:
2011007, Mar 31, 2011
Filed:
Sep 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/889451
Inventors:
Aaron M. Best - Murray UT, US
J Ken Barton - Sandy UT, US
David J Havell - Salt Lake City UT, US
Reginald T. Welles - Salt Lake City UT, US
Darrell R. Turpin - Murray UT, US
James W. Voorhees - Vancouver WA, US
John E. Kearney - St. Pete Beach FL, US
Camille B. Price - Kaysville UT, US
Nathan P. Stahlman - Vancouver WA, US
Aaron J. Turpin - Taylorsville UT, US
Aaron M. Purvis - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:
ADVANCED TRAINING SYSTEM LLC - Tampa FL
International Classification:
G09B 9/04
US Classification:
434 69
Abstract:
An application for a system for driver training is includes a computer with at least two graphics displays. A first graphics display simulates a windshield of a target vehicle and a second graphics display simulates a dashboard of the target vehicle. The computer generates images that simulate the dashboard of the target vehicle on the second graphics display. A touch screen interface is connected to the second graphics display and is operatively coupled to the computer thereby signaling the computer with positions of which the second graphics display is touched by a trainee. The trainee is prompted to touch an item on the dashboard (second graphic display) and the touch screen interface is read to determine if the trainee touched the appropriate item (e.g. gauge).

System, Method And Apparatus For Adaptive Driver Training

US Patent:
2011007, Mar 31, 2011
Filed:
Sep 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/889448
Inventors:
Aaron M. Best - Murray UT, US
J. Ken Barton - Sandy UT, US
David J Havell - Salt Lake City UT, US
Reginald T. Welles - Salt Lake City UT, US
Darrell R. Turpin - Murray UT, US
James W. Voorhees - Vancouver WA, US
John E. Kearney - St. Pete Beach FL, US
Camille B. Price - Kaysville UT, US
Nathan P. Stahlman - Vancouver WA, US
Aaron J. Turpin - Taylorsville UT, US
Aaron M. Purvis - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:
ADVANCED TRAINING SYSTEM LLC - Tampa FL
International Classification:
G09B 9/04
US Classification:
434 69
Abstract:
An application for an adaptive training system includes a computer interfaced to one or more graphics displays, one of more input/output devices and having access to a plurality of training segments. The input/output devices are in communication with a trainee. Software of the computer selects a first segment of the training segments and operates on the current segment by presenting the current segment on the graphics displays and input/output devices, thereby simulating an operation of the target vehicle. The software collects data from the one or more input/output devices and analyzes the data to determine a level of competency of the trainee. The software adaptively determines one or more next segments from the training segments based upon the level of competency.

Timed Aerosol Fragrance Dispenser For Forced-Air Duct Installation

US Patent:
7854394, Dec 21, 2010
Filed:
Jan 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/351810
Inventors:
Michael Mac Powell - Lehi UT, US
Aaron M. Best - Salt Lake City UT, US
David J. Havell - Salt Lake City UT, US
International Classification:
B05B 1/08, B05B 17/06
US Classification:
2391022, 239 70, 422123, 422124, 454337
Abstract:
A timed aerosol fragrance dispenser includes a housing containing a programmable microprocessor, a low-voltage DC power source, a piezoelectric assembly for spraying timed bursts of fragrance, and circuitry for activating the piezoelectric assembly, and a magnetic reed switch air flow detector. A fragrance-containing reservoir attaches to the housing, which incorporates a clip which allows the dispenser to be secured to a heating and air conditioning vent register. When the air flow detector senses air flow from the vent register, the microcontroller in combination with other circuitry generates current pulses having a voltage sufficiently high to activate the piezoelectric assembly. Intervals between pulses are switch selectable. In addition, the normal programming can be overridden to spray fragrance for a set period even in the absence of air flow from the vent register.

Systems And Methods For Theater Seat Movement

US Patent:
2013010, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/282429
Inventors:
Levoy Haight - West Jordan UT, US
J. Ken Barton - Sandy UT, US
David J. Havell - Salt Lake City UT, US
Aaron Michael Best - Murray UT, US
Trent Lawrence Rolf - South Jordan UT, US
Mark Myers - Riverdale UT, US
International Classification:
G03B 31/00
US Classification:
352 1
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing movement to seating including theater seating generate complex motion responses in the seating by automatically analyzing an audio component of media being consumed for one or more aspects of the audio information contained in the audio component at certain frequencies or frequency ranges. The aspects analyzed include aspects relating to frequencies and frequency ranges substantially higher than the low-frequency signals used to drive motion of theater seating. From the analysis of the audio aspects contained in the audio component, a plurality of independent low-frequency output signals is generated. The plurality of independent low-frequency output signals is directed to a plurality of individual actuators incorporated into different locations in a seat to provide sensations of motion at different locations of the seat, such as at a seat location, at a lower back location, and at an upper back location.

Disposable Fluid Injection Module

US Patent:
6045534, Apr 4, 2000
Filed:
Oct 27, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/957520
Inventors:
Stephen C. Jacobsen - Salt Lake City UT
Aaron M. Best - Salt Lake City UT
Tomasz J. Petelenz - Salt Lake City UT
M. Mary Sinnott - Salt Lake City UT
Assignee:
Sarcos, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
A61M 6502
US Classification:
604156
Abstract:
An automated injection module is comprised of a housing, a piston drug capsule disposed within the housing, a piston core including a puncture seal membrane defining a reservoir for holding a drug between the puncture seal membrane and the piston drug capsule, an injection device having at least one sharp end for puncturing the puncture seal upon activation of the device, an end cap on a distal end of the housing, and a pressure source on a proximal end of the housing. The pressure source is preferably a propellant that ignites and forces the piston toward the distal end. Substantially simultaneously, the injection device pierces the puncture seal membrane, the piston core is forced into the piston drug capsule, and the drug is evacuated from the reservoir through the injection device and into a patient.
