Abstract: An apparatus and method of making noise comprising a noise maker comprising a proximal cylinder portion 20 and a distal cylinder portion 60, a large internal member terminating in at least one finger 38; at least two reeds 40 secured in a manner so that it is positioned adjacent the respective finger 38, but not in contact with the respective finger 38, to create a respective air gap 70 between the finger 38 and the reed 40; whereby at least two air gaps 70 exist for the creation of noise.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for tracking location of objects (personnel) at a site. The system comprises: a central server, plurality of remote locator tags disposed on the objects, plurality of remote repeater devices capable of transmitting data signals to locate the locator tags, receiving location data signals from the locator tags, and transmitting the location data signals to the central server. A plurality of databases having location information are connected to the central server and a processing unit with a tracking software operably connected to the central server, compiles and assembles the location data signals and location information for tracking the objects at the site, thereby establishes a real time location tracking and communication with the objects. The system also enables setting up ad-hoc networks fully functioning on power and signals independent of the primary systems of the site and enhances decision making in real time environment.

Abstract: A hoist that is demountably secured to a frame of an all terrain vehicle, comprising a base that is demountably secured to the frame; an arm-base bracket that is secured to a top surface of said base; a base arm that is pivotably mounted to a front portion of said arm-base bracket; a sliding arm that is slidably received by said base arm, said sliding arm having a sliding arm terminal end; a base arm locking member that locks the sliding arm in place relative to said base arm; a sliding arm pulley rotatably secured to said sliding arm terminal end; a support arm adjustably secured at one end to a rear portion of said arm-base bracket, and at the other end to said base arm; and a crank capable of receiving a cable from said sliding arm pulley.

Abstract: A unitary or integral hitch and beam, which is a single unit that can be installed on vehicles of varying dimensions. The integral hitch and beam may reduce manufacturing time, weight, and parts, thus reducing cost of vehicles with hitches. The beam is cut to length depending on the rail distance of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of traversing across elements of a challenge course by use of a tracking system that can continuously retain the harness cable that descends to the participant, as the moveable member moves in a substantially horizontal direction along the safety cables, or along the tracks of the moveable member exchange frame.

Abstract: A booking station, comprising: a front, a back, a top, a bottom, a right side, and a left side, said front having a large front door that is hingedly connected to said front, said front also having a small front door that is hingedly connected to said front; a keyboard tray is substantially horizontally slidably mounted to a frame within the booking station upwardly from said large front door, said keyboard tray slidably mounted to said frame; a short front drawer is substantially horizontally slidably mounted to a frame within the booking station upwardly from said small front door, said top and said front having a scanner cut-out that is disposed upwardly from said short front drawer; and a substantially horizontally oriented scanner ledge is disposed upwardly from said short front drawer and begins substantially at the front extending rearwardly.

Abstract: An extendable arm that extends from a police vehicle towards a pulled over vehicle. The arm allows for two-way communication or document transfer. The police officer can position the extendable arm while seated in the vehicle. The extendable arm includes a main shaft having first and second opposed ends. The first end is pivotally attached to the vehicle. A telescoping assembly extends from the second end. The assembly has a free end that extends and retracts away from and towards the main shaft. The free end can have an accessory mounted thereon, such as a two-way audio visual camera, or a container for the retention of driver's licenses. During operation the distal end can be positioned adjacent the driver's window or the police officer's window. The free end is retracted, and the shaft is placed in a stowed position adjacent the motor vehicle when not in use.

Abstract: A instrument and method of applying house wrap to exterior walls. The instrument or tool or apparatus allows the roll of house wrap to be positioned with an axis of rotation substantially parallel with the wall. The house wrap can then be rolled and applied onto the wall as the apparatus is moved along the length of the wall. The apparatus can roll along an upper surface of the wall so that the apparatus need not be lifted. The apparatus also may have a guide wheel to maintain the house wrap roll at a substantially fixed distance from the wall.

Abstract: This invention is a livestock feeder comprising a top gate, a bottom gate, a center gate disposed between the top gate and the bottom gate, the top gate, the bottom gate, and the center gate define a gate system. The bottom gate can swing inward when the feed is eaten. Then after the livestock eat the feed when the gate is swung inward, the gate can be “reset” to the vertical position, and then the gate system can be moved closer to the feed. A device for horizontal movement disposed on the gate system whereby the gate system can move in a horizontal direction when movement of the device for horizontal movement is initiated. A device for initiating horizontal movement includes a hand crank. This invention can be in a covered environment similar to a pole barn. The sized can vary depending on the livestock herd, the property, and the feed. A sloped floor helps prevent waste accumulation where the livestock feed.
