Abstract: A golf cart windshield assembly is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the assembly includes a longitudinal U-shaped channel, where a first longitudinal slot is disposed adjacent to the U-shaped channel and the first slot is adapted to receive an edge of a lower windshield pane. A second longitudinal slot is disposed adjacent to the first slot, where the second slot is adapted to slidingly engage an edge of an upper windshield pane. A flange is joined along a longitudinal edge of the second slot and extends generally at a right angle to the second longitudinal slot and includes at least one aperture. The assembly also includes a spring loaded pin secured to the upper windshield pane, where the pin is adapted to engage the aperture of the flange to restrain the upper windshield pane in a desired vertical position.
Abstract: A structural system for optimizing the performance of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a shell is provided to house and protect the millimeter wave concealed object detection system so that the detection system can operate optimally in a controlled and managed environment by eliminating or mitigating spurious millimeter wave emissions or reflections from outside or inside the shell. The shell can be free-standing or attached to a parent structure. The entry and exit to the system is controlled by entry and exit barriers. In addition, an inspection lane is configured according to each particular application to guide a subject through the detection system.

Abstract: A passive outdoor millimeter wave illuminator for use with a concealed object detection system is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the illuminator includes a panel having a plurality of horizontal louvers each having reflective properties for reflecting millimeter wave energy from the sky to a target and a pair of rear support arms for biasing the panel upwards. The illuminator further includes a base wherein a lower portion of the panel is rotatably mounted to a front edge of the base and the rear edge of the base is fixed to a lower end of the rear support so that the panel is capable of rotatable motion in a horizontal plane relative to the base. In addition, a slidable bushing engaged with a portion of the rear support arms is frictionally operable as to maintain the panel at the desired angle.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel fully interactive multimedia recording system that organizes and catalogues different multimedia data easily and expeditiously using uniform arrays of data packets, thereby achieving improved efficiency of transfer to a memory and storage means over prior art. The data packets may be time variable thus each array is also time variable at the discretion of the user. The effect is to reduce the time of synchronizing the different memory and storage mediums for transfer by providing temporal and uniform data arrays.
Abstract: The present invention is a mobile method and system for automatically monitoring the location and use of tools using radio-frequency identification (“RFID”) tags. An RFID tag is secured to each tool with a unique numerical identifier. The RFID tag transmits its unique numerical identifier associated with each of the RFID tags using a RF signal, wherein the RF signal is transmitted at different intervals for each of the RFID tags. A receiver on a mobile platform reads the RF signals and determines the unique numerical identifier being transmitted. An information processor interconnected with the receiver analyzes the unique numerical identifier from a predetermined index, and the information processor determines whether any tools were not found on the index and automatically alerts a user when a tool is missing.
