Abstract: A system and method for generating motion and trajectory data for a multi-gimbaled rotating platform. The system includes a motion generating unit for generating a set of motion equations for each degree of rotational freedom of the multi-gimbaled rotating platform, where each set of motion equations defines the rotational movement of the platform about a gimbal pivot axis between a starting position and an ending position. The movement characteristics of the gimbals are provided to the motion generating unit for generating a set of motion equations which define the movement of the gimbals between the starting position and the ending position of the rotating platform. The set of motion equations simulating movement of the rotating platform may be further utilized to generate trajectory data for the object being supported by the platform, so that the effect of the motion of the rotating platform on the object can be simulated without requiring the rotating platform to be actually moved in a field test.

Abstract: An electronic compass system using information on a communications bus to eliminate magnetic noise which is integrated with an instrument cluster. A vehicle accessory, such as a blower motor, generates a known, consistent, magnetic field of intensity sufficient to cause a static magnetic offset in the electronic compass for each of its' electrical states. An electronic controller commands the vehicle accessory to change electrical states and transmits a vehicle event message on a communications bus. A magnetic field sensor detects a combination of Earth's magnetic field and the stray magnetic field produced by the vehicle accessory. A controller is coupled to the communications bus and uses the vehicle event message to look up a predetermined correction factor, corresponding to the electrical state, to eliminate the effect of the static magnetic offset. The controller then displays a heading unaffected by the static magnetic offset.

Abstract: A system and method for determining attitude using triaxial micro electro-mechanical accelerometer-magnetometer sensors. The triaxial accelerometer-magnetometer sensors measure the triaxial components of the local gravity and magnetic field along three sensing axes of the sensors. The misalignment of the components due to nonorthogonal triaxial assembling of the sensors is estimated via performing three optical alignments and is further compensated in the sensing outputs. A micro-cube with three orthogonal coated mirrors is fixed on the circuit board of the system for implementing the optical alignments. The compensated sensing components are processed to figure out the attitude using Orientation Cosine Conversion of the local gravity and magnetic field. The computation for determining the attitude is based on the inverse tangent of the ratio of the processed components, which is more precise than the computation using the absolute values of the components.

Abstract: A pattern is determined of the neck movement of a subject. The head/body movement of the subject is recorded with markers placed on the shoulders and on the head and thus moving with the subject. The locus curve of each marker in three-dimensional space is then determined in dependence on the time and it is stored as a data set. The neck movement is isolated from the head and torso movements by determining the difference between the average of the two locus curves that represent the shoulder movements and the locus curve representing the head movement. The pattern of movement established on the cranio-corpo-graphy is evaluated and analyzed using a data-processing device. The method is particularly suitable for determining the presence and the severity of an injury to the cervical spine as a result of whiplash caused by a traffic accident.

Abstract: A self-adaptable proximity detector delivering a binary output signal for the presence or absence of a target. The proximity detector includes a processing unit and operates according to a short learning mode for an adjustment relative to its environment, according to a long learning mode for an adjustment relative to its environment and to a target, and according to a working mode corresponding to normal operation. The proximity detector also includes a variable digital storage resistor driven by the processing unit in the learning mode and connected to the detection stage so that variation of the value of the digital resistor causes a variation of the switching threshold. In the working mode, the processing unit is in a standby state and the variable digital storage resistor remains at its set operating value.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a position detection method and apparatus whereby a first A.C. output signal having an electric phase angle shifted in a positive direction in accordance with a position-to-be-detected is produced along with a second A.C. output signal having an electric phase angle shifted in a negative direction. First and second detection data are then generated by detecting respective phase differences of the first and second A.C. output signals from a predetermined reference phase. The first and second predicted values are provided on the bases of at least two successive samples of the first and second detection data, respectively. The first and second predicted values are then modified to provide a standard predicted value for correcting any nonlinear error resulting from the Doppler effect. Using this standard predicted value, predictive interpolation is performed on the first and second detection data sequentially with the passage of time to provide first and second interpolated data.

Abstract: A short range radiolocation system and associated methods that allow the location of an item, such as equipment, containers, pallets, vehicles, or personnel, within a defined area. A small, battery powered, self-contained tag is provided to an item to be located. The tag includes a spread-spectrum transmitter that transmits a spread-spectrum code and identification information. A plurality of receivers positioned about the area receive signals from a transmitting tag. The position of the tag, and hence the item, is located by triangulation. The system employs three different ranging techniques for providing coarse, intermediate, and fine spatial position resolution. Coarse positioning information is provided by use of direct-sequence code phase transmitted as a spread-spectrum signal. Intermediate positioning information is provided by the use of a difference signal transmitted with the direct-sequence spread-spectrum code. Fine positioning information is provided by use of carrier phase measurements. An algorithm is employed to combine the three data sets to provide accurate location measurements.
