Optical Body Tracker
US Patent:
2005010, May 19, 2005
Filed:
Oct 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/958457
Inventors:
Nestor Voronka - Seattle WA, US
Charles Jacobus - Ann Arbor MI, US
Charles Jacobus - Ann Arbor MI, US
International Classification:
G06K009/00
US Classification:
382103000, 382154000
Abstract:
An optical system tracks the motion of objects, including the human body or portions thereof using a plurality of three-dimensional active markers based upon triangulation from data read via multiple linear CCDs through cylindrical lenses. Each marker is lit in sequence so that it is in sync with a frame capture using the imaging system positioned and oriented so as to provide a basis for computing three-dimensional location. In the preferred embodiment, the imaging system detects an infrared signal which is sent out by the tag controller as part of the tag/marker illumination sequence at the beginning of the first tag position capture time. The controller then traverses through the tags in time sync with each imaging system frame capture cycle. Thus, only one unique tag will be lit during each image capture of the cameras, thereby simplifying identification. Using linear CCD sensors, the frame time (i.e. point acquisition time) is very short, allowing very many markers to be sampled and located sequentially in real time.
Automatic Reserve Or Primary Parachute Activation Device
US Patent:

Filed:

Assignee:
Cybernet Systems Corporation - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
B64D 17/54
US Classification:
244149, 244152
Abstract:
An electronic automatic reserve or primary parachute activation device incorporates partial or complete capture of freefaller or tethered parachute jumper kinematics to rapidly and reliable determine when to automatically activate deployment of the primary or reserve chute. This device uses means for directly measuring acceleration, velocity and/or position in addition to air pressure change to enable reliable detection of chute deployment conditions earlier than is possible with conventional pressure change activated automated activations devices. This is important when the activation decision must be made within 5–10 seconds of the initiation of the jump as is the case for military low altitude parachuting.
