Title: Method of assessing a pilot emotional state
Inventor: STEFAN ALEXANDER SCHWINDT
IPC: A61B5/18
Filed: 2018-12-11
Abstract: A method of assessing operator emotional state includes tracking the operator, e.g. a pilot, using image sensor data, voice data or a biometric parameter. A likely emotional state is determined from a list of emotional states 131 by assigning probabilities 133 to each, for example based upon facial recognition software. An alert is sent if e.g. real-time pilot emotional state data deviates from baseline. The image sensor may reflect a pilot’s eye or body movements, the biometric parameter may be based on breathing, heart rate or pulse and the voice data may indicate volume, tone and spoken content. For example if a pilot is determined to be very angry i.e. loud voice & darting eye movements, appropriate ground station people may be alerted. Also disclosed is a method of adjusting a flight crew before a planned flight if the pilot is stressed or angry when working with a specific crew.

Title: Distributed muster for ocean-going vessels
Inventor: NICHOLAS WILLIAM EMILTON WEIR
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2020-03-03
Abstract: Distributed muster includes distributing to different mobile devices 110 an identity of an assigned muster location 140 of an ocean-going vessel 150, and associating each mobile device both with a corresponding passenger of the ocean-going vessel 160, and also with the assigned muster location.
