PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INSTRUCTOR OPERATING STATION (IOS) FILTERED INFORMATION
A portable computing device and method for transmitting Instructor Operating Station (IOS) filtered information. A portable computing device receives IOS control and monitoring data from a simulation server, displays the IOS control and monitoring data on the portable computing device, and receives a selection by a user of at least one component of the displayed IOS control and monitoring data. The selection is performed by an interaction of the user with the displayed IOS control and monitoring data. The portable computing device determines IOS filtered information related to the selected at least one component, and transmits the IOS filtered information to a destination computing device. The determination of the IOS filtered information takes into consideration destination user access rights of a destination user. The destination device may be a simulator or a portable computing device, where the destination user performs a simulation session by interacting with the simulation server.

Nonconductive position verification systems for devices utilizing magnetic sensors
Systems and methods are provided for verifying a magnetic positioning system. One embodiment includes a mounting unit, a drive unit, and a controller. The mounting unit is able to mechanically couple with a device that includes a magnetic sensor. The mounting unit includes a nonconductive mount to attach to the device, and a nonconductive swivel bearing with arms that are rotatably attached to the mount. The drive unit includes a platform, a nonconductive rigid post extending outward from the platform and attached to a center portion of the swivel bearing, linear actuators attached to the platform, and nonconductive shafts attached to the arms of the swivel bearing. Each shaft is attached to a linear actuator for displacement by the actuator. The controller directs the linear actuators to adjust the nonconductive shafts in order to move the swivel bearing, thereby adjusting an orientation and position of the device.
Contextual monitoring perspective selection during training session
Monitoring a training session from a trainee in an interactive computer simulation system. During the training session, while the trainee performs actions in an interactive computer simulation station on one or more tangible instruments thereof for controlling a virtual simulated element, dynamic data is logged related to the actions of the trainee. At a monitoring station of the interactive computer simulation system and during the training session, a graphical user interface is displayed depicting a contextual scene related to the interactive computer simulation from a first point of view and detecting a predetermined event in the dynamic data during the training session. At the monitoring station, a second point of view is defined different from the first point of view and the contextual scene is generated in the graphical user interface after the predetermined event detection from the second point of view.
