20110226939SEED COUNTING APPARATUS FOR A PLANTER MONITOR - A counter for seeds in a duct includes a first point source transmitter on a first mounting on one side of the duct spaced outwardly from the duct so as to project light through a front wall and a set of phototransistors in a transverse row carried on a second mounting on a rear wall. The side walls of the duct lie on a triangle with an apex at the light source. The phototransistors are connected in series so that the output current is determined by that phototransistor on which the majority of the shadow from the seed falls. In this way the momentary reduction in current output has a larger amplitude to better distinguish from dust in the duct. The duct is formed by a housing attached to the peripheral wall of the metering device with a seed transport tube attached to the bottom of the housing.09-22-2011

20090011394LIMB HEMORRHAGE TRAUMA SIMULATOR - A limb hemorrhage trauma simulator provides didactic and hands-on training for the prehospital treatment of a limb trauma victim. The simulator realistically simulates a wounded limb, providing simulated pulse and hemorrhage blood flow. The simulator provides a simulated scenario in which the wound occurred. The student then responds to the scenario by treating the limb via direct pressure, tourniquet, and/or wound analysis. The simulator modifies hemorrhage blood flow and pulse in response to direct or tourniquet pressure applied to the limb. The simulator records the student's actions to provide feedback and grade the student's response.01-08-2009
20100041004SURGICAL BURR HOLE DRILLING SIMULATOR - A system, method and device for simulating a medical procedure include a haptic mechanism controllable to provide feedback to a user manipulating a medical device.

The six degree of freedom haptic device may be configured to provide different resolutions for different degrees of freedom, depending on simulation requirements. In an embodiment, a load cell is used to provide higher resolution in a dimension determined to be of greater criticality to realistic simulation.02-18-2010
20100178644INTERACTIVE SIMULATION OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUE - A simulator simulates interaction between a surgical tool and biological tissue, providing real time visual and/or haptic feedback. The simulator receives tool input device information representative of a user's movement of a physical tool. The simulator simulates, based on the tool input device information, an interaction between the simulated tool and simulated biological tissue. The simulator uses multiple computational threads, some of which provide their calculations to interrelated threads for use. The simulator displays a visual representation of the simulated interaction between the simulated tool and the simulated biological tissue and provides haptic feedback to the user. The threads may operate asynchronously and have different spatial and/or temporal resolutions. Threads may be selectively activated and deactivated. Threads may move their spatial coverage.07-15-2010
20120045742HEMORRHAGE CONTROL SIMULATOR - A simulator trains for hemorrhage control using hemostatic agents, tourniquets, and/or other hemorrhage control techniques in a simulator that works with a wide variety of existing human surrogates. The simulator merges a live video feed of the surrogate and trainee's hands (or objects interacting with the surrogate) with a computer-generated visual representation of the wound and hemorrhaging blood to provide an immersive display experience to the trainee without requiring different surrogates for different simulated wounds. The trainee may wear pulse-generating glove(s) that simulate the patient's pulse where the trainee's finger tip contacts the surrogate. A sensorized substrate (e.g., load sensors, haptic output generators) may automatically be moved between the trainee and the surrogate to sense interaction with the surrogate and provide haptic feedback. The substrate may replace the surrogate altogether. The simulator may alternatively simulate events and objects other than wounds and humans.02-23-2012
