    Abstract: An example face shield includes a face shield lens comprising a locking channel, a face shield shell configured to receive the face shield lens when the face shield is inserted into the face shield shell, and a lens lock configured to move between: a locked position in which the lens lock is configured to engage the locking channel of the face shield to secure the face shield lens to the face shield shell; and an unlocked position in which the lens lock is configured to disengage the locking channel of the face shield to permit insertion of the face shield to the face shield shell and removal of the face shield from the face shield shell.

    Abstract: Described herein are examples of welding technique monitoring systems that provide lightweight, self-contained, and highly portable means of monitoring welding technique and/or providing technique feedback. The systems use a portable support platform that can be easily transported to different welding stations/sites, providing a marked advantage over legacy monitoring systems that use heavy welding stands that are difficult to move. After an initial calibration, the systems can consistently and repeatedly monitor welding technique relative to a particular joint with no additional calibration necessary, even if there is sensor and/or platform movement. The systems are additionally able to detect a welding-type operation without the need to communicate with welding equipment. The systems are further configured for use with existing (rather than potentially expensive custom) welding-type tools, thereby keeping the systems low cost and highly portable. The systems are further configured to use off the shelf mobile devices for all the electronic functions, thereby simplifying power/battery management.

    Abstract: Described herein are examples of welding simulation systems with observation devices that facilitate the types of group interactions that occur in conventional weld training. In some examples, third party observers may use the observation devices to observe the welding simulation from their own perspectives. In some examples, this may allow for traditional “over the shoulder” observation, and/or group/classroom observation and interaction.

    Abstract: Disclosed example travel speed pacing systems for welding-type operations include: an interface configured to receive an input describing a characteristic of a welding-type operation; and control circuitry configured to: determine a target travel speed based on the input; determine a target time interval at which the welding-type operation is to traverse locations corresponding to successive ones of a plurality of marked locations on the workpiece of the welding-type operation, the target time interval being based on the target travel speed and a unit distance between the marked locations; and control the interface to output indicators representative of a target time interval.
