主权项

1. A dynamic motion seat (DMS) system that simulates vehicle motion comprising:
a seat comprising a seat pad and a backpad, at least one motor, at least one mechanical linkage, and at least five axes of motion wherein said seat pad and said backpad move independently; a DMS computer that translates data from a host computer and creates corresponding seat motion signals, wherein said DMS computer is in communication with a host computer and electronic components; said electronic components for converting said seat motion signals from said DMS computer into drive signals that trigger said motor; and said motor actuates said at least one mechanical linkage to cause movement in at least one axis of said five axes of motion to simulate vehicle motion in said seat wherein said motor is in communication with said electronic components.
