Abstract: Each device of a group of devices, in particular voice-controlled devices, is equipped with sound receivers and emitters and a short-range radio communication subsystem. Each device is caused to emit a test sound and, via its communications subsystem, a related timing-reference signal. Each device receiving a test sound and related timing-reference signal determines the transit time of the test sound. Using the measured transit times, the devices determine their distances one from another and, by exchanging these distances, the devices, or at least one of them, calculates the relative locations of all devices.

Abstract: In a method for firing simulation with a gun, to attain greater ranges, a first laser beam comprising laser pulses is transmitted through the actuation of the trigger on the gun, the trajectory of the fired virtual projectile is calculated, and the deviations of the trajectory from the target direction at the firing time are determined. The first laser beam is pivoted corresponding to the trajectory deviations, and the transit time of the laser pulses of the first laser beam reflected by the target is measured, and used to determine the target range. For this target range, the trajectory, for example, of the fired virtual projectile is calculated, and compared to the time that has passed between the firing time and the reception of the reflected laser pulses. If the two match within a tolerance range, a second laser beam comprising encoded laser pulses is transmitted in the transmission direction that was last traversed by the first laser beam. The encoded second laser beam is received at the target, where the impact damage is calculated from the position of a detector on the target that has received the laser beam, and information transmitted by the encoding.

Abstract: A hazardous area warning system with a non-directional magnetic field based proximity receiver for warning personnel of an attendant hazard. The receiver includes a x-axis receiver with an antenna directed in a x direction, a y-axis receiver with an antenna directed in a y direction and a z-axis receiver with an antenna directed in a z direction. The antennas may be a wire loop wrapped around a ferrite core. The output from each of the three receivers are combined in an adder. The combined result from the adder is representative of the distance between the receiver and a warning transmitter antenna. A comparator determines whether the received signal indicates an attendant hazard, i.e., the receiver is too close to the warning transmitter. The receiver wearer is warned of the attendant hazard, visually and/or tactilly, e.g., with warning lights and/or vibrations. An encoder encodes the signal indication and a transmitter transmits the encoded signal. A data link receiver (located, for example, at a potentially hazardous machine) receives the encoded signal from the proximity receiver. The data link receiver decodes the encoded signal and activates a safety indicator light in response to the decoded information, a green light indicating normal operation, a yellow light indicating a caution or potentially hazardous condition, and a red light indicating danger. The data link receiver may shutdown and/or disable the machinery in a caution or dangerous condition.
