Pool Shark Technologies is taking advantage of the vast and growing market of budding snooker and billiards players by creating the Ace Training System (ATS), a virtual coach that teaches players to play the game like true professionals. Using its precise image processing ability, the ATS will be able to survey the playing surface before instructing the player on the best ball to hit, as well as where and how to hit the ball. From the reliable guidance of the ATS, the player will develop a strong strategic sense in how to play the game. Of course, the ATS will also help the player to improve and perfect essential striking skills such as cue positioning, aiming, cue speed, and follow through. Thus, this system is suitable for every kind of player, whether he or she is a beginner learning the game for the first time, or a professional trying to perfect his or her skills.

A launcher training system includes a housing shaped to resemble a projectile launcher. A hollowed-out portion of the housing defines a boresight axis. An optical sight is coupled to the housing such that the boresight axis and the optical sight's line-of-sight are fixed in relation to one another. The optical sight further defines a sight field-of-view (FOV) with a first reticle appearing therein. An imaging means in the hollowed-out portion of the housing generates an Image in an image FOV thereof. Transmission means are provided to transmit signals indicative of the image over the air waves. A remotely-located receiver station is provided to reproduce the image with a second reticle being overlaid thereon. The imaging means are adjustably positioned such that the image FOV is sighted along the boresight axis and such that the second reticle overlaid on the reproduced image appears at the same position as the first reticle in the sight FOV.

Students whom are pursuing a degree in computer engineering are required to operate the oscilloscope for their laboratory sessions throughout their course of study. As the oscilloscope is a specialized kind of testing equipment, most students faced difficulties in operating the oscilloscope. Hence, it would be beneficial to have a platform for them to learn about the fundamentals and operating information of the oscilloscope. The Oscilloscope Training System is an asynchronous e-learning platform which provides a web-based training package for the learning of the Tektronix TDS1012 Digital Storage Oscilloscope. The system will allow the students to learn at their own pace and hopes that they will be able to understand and perform the laboratory experiments better once they have acquired the knowledge on the digital oscilloscope.

Organisations are becoming more complex in the modern day setting. They tend to include a multitude of internal and external relationships, involving a number of sub-units and individuals. Kerr (1973) concludes that the nature of the formal organisation structure is so complex that the patterns of authority, responsibility and power are difficult to define. This is mainly due to the complex nature of the environment in which these organisational units operate. The purpose of this paper is to relate the theoretical studies of organisational effectiveness to the findings in the training systems effectiveness construct. As stated earlier, the study of systems effectiveness is futile without reference to all the factors that relate to the effectiveness of training systems. In this research overall training system effectiveness is related to the training subsystems. The four categories of training subsystems are: the control, the socio-technical, the psycho-social and the external interface subsystems. The training system effectiveness factors that are related to the four categories of the training subsystems are shown in Figure 1 at the end of this paper.

At times of mass casualty incidents, medical resources such as personnel and equipment are limited. By performing triage, the act of deciding the priority of treating patients by severity of their condition, efficient use of the resources can be achieved. In Japan, triage became widely known after the 2011 Japan Earthquake, and the necessity of triage training has been acknowledged. Frequent training helps in acquiring skills needed to act in real situations, but current training does not consider the skill level of each trainee, since several people train simultaneously. This leads to the decline in motivation and inefficient training sessions. Moreover, creating a customized scenario for each trainee is difficult and costly. To address this issue, we designed a training system which adjusts the level of difficulty according to user proficiency. The system automatically generates the scenario for each user, and provides visual feedback after training. We conducted an evaluation experiment to measure whether the trainee can acquire the necessary knowledge by using our system. The results showed that training with our system helps in learning the skills quickly and accurately.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive training algorithm that accelerates the training process based on a parametric model of trainees and training scenarios. The proposed approach makes trial-by-trial recommendations on optimal scenario difficulty selections to maximize improvements in the trainee's absolute skill level.

The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in strength of the dominant quadriceps femoris muscle group among subjects utilizing a Nautilus training system, and a traditional weight system. Eighteen college students, 18–23 years of age, volunteered for this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group N, Nautilus training system, consisted of six subjects utilizing the Nautilus knee extension machine, performing one set of 15 repetitions to failure, using a 15 RM (repetition maximum) at a count of 5 contract—1 hold—5 release. Group T, traditional, consisted of five subjects utilizing an NK table, performing three sets of 10 repetitions at 10 RM following a count of 1 contract—1 release. Group C, control, consisted of seven subjects who did not undergo any training. The three groups were pre-tested for bilateral quadriceps femoris strength 1 week prior to training, and retested 7 weeks later on the Cybex II Dynamometer. Results of this study, using an ANOVA with F-ratio, demonstrated that the strength gain of the dominant quadriceps femoris muscle is not significantly different between the three groups (p > 0.05). However, group T was significantly stronger than group N and C in average quadriceps strength (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a tendency for group T to demonstrate increased strength gains for all analyses. The authors contend that further investigation must be made to determine whether either method of exercise is superior at increasing quadriceps femoris strength.

The question about distance learning systems and their modernization is discussed in this work. Modern systems do not give the opportunity of interactive integration into the studying and design/user interface/possibilities are not required. It was the cause of low study efficiency. The lack of online platform does not allow getting the homework centrally (relatively to the specialization of students). Nowadays in 2nd and 3rd world countries distance educational systems do not provide competently work about giving the learning materials. The system that will allow solving these problems is described below.

Abstract : This report describes the research and development activities conducted under the Early Training Estimation System (ETES) development project. The Early Training Estimation System (ETES) is an integrated set of procedures and automated tools for estimating training requirements during the earliest phases of the weapon system acquisition process. The ETES has three major components; a System Description Technology (SDT), Early Training Estimation Aids and Procedures (TEAP), and Evaluative Technology. The SDT is a data base management system for storing and tracking task and training-related data. The data in the SDT is used in the TEAP to estimate training requirements for a new system. These training requirements include estimates of task requirements, course requirements, and resource requirements as well as estimates of training costs, training efficiency, and training requirements are assessed, training alternatives are evaluated, tradeoff and sensitivity analyses of key parameters are conducted, and the relationships between ETES outputs and key Army acquisition documents and processes are specified. This report provides an overview of the components of ETES, describes the research conducted under each of the five ETES study tasks; and outlines future directions for improving ETES.
