Patent number: 8789806Abstract: A vibration isolating device for isolating an object from at least one of vibration and shock from an external source. The vibration isolation device comprises such features as a mounting structure where the object is mounted to, at least a plurality of first springs coupled to the mounting structure to minimize coupling of the at least one vibration and shock to the object, and a shock stop. In addition, the device may include a plurality of stop pins that are separate from the mounting structure and arranged externally to the mounting structure. The stop pins can limit a displacement of the object when the at least one of vibration and shock exceeds a given level.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Russell B. Taylor, Jeremy Hutcherson, Vinson Loos

Publication number: 20070279368Abstract: An controllable intensity LCD display that provides normal or extremely low visible light and infrared intensity levels so as to be usable with military night vision gear (NVG) or Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS). The LCD display includes wide dynamic range backlight inverter power supply to extend the range of backlight dimming available with conventional cold cathode florescent (CCF) lights. An optional bridged power inverter provides yet further useable intensity reduction. Video controller RAMDAC palette programming further provides illumination attenuation using the LCD elements themselves. A ‘Hot Mirror’, i.e., infrared reflecting dielectric coatings, on various surfaces of the display's light path is used to further reduce infrared emissions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2005Publication date: December 6, 2007Applicant: DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.Inventor: Aaron Shefter

Patent number: 6900983Abstract: A cartridge interface retains and couples a first information device, such as PCMCIA type card, with an internal connector of a host computer used in a rugged environment. It may also retain a second information device, such as a memory drive, separate from the first information device. The host computer has a cartridge insertion slot that guides the cartridge and a connector of the PCMCIA card into engagement with the computer's internal connector. The PCMCIA card is retained on the cartridge in a manner that prevents translation of the card relative to the cartridge during removal from the host computer.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2003Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.Inventors: William C. Glusing, Victor W. Wolynski, Walter L. Olson, Richard P. McNeight
