  • Patent number: 10472774
    Abstract: The non-ferrous anticorrosive railroad bracket 10 includes a stainless steel threaded shaft 50 for preventing oxidation on moving parts. A sliding clamp plate mechanism 36 is for mounting to virtually any common rail 54 in use throughout the world. The bracket 10 includes a pointed wedge end 14 for providing under-rail installation by displacing stone gravel base underneath. It also includes a tool-less clamping rail attachment mechanism 32 requiring only hand-tighten for installation. There is a large knob-nut 34 for tightening and securing to the rail 54 by easily hand-tightening. A simple folded kick-plate 12 is utilized for kicking by foot, pushing by hand, and hammering so as to easily displace gravel, stones, slag, and other material. Lastly, the folded kick-plate 12 acts as a handle to carry the bracket 10 and an attached sensor detector unit 30.

  • Patent number: 8556446
    Abstract: An attention getting baton with a one-piece hollow tubular structure that is waterproof, shock resistant, and lightweight. At a rear tubular part, there is a holding compartment with a ribbed rubber grip for ease in handling the baton. A front tubular part with ribbed groves guides illumination through the baton. A tubular shaped removable rear cap forms a slip fit connection for accessibility into the holding compartment. A high intensity flashlight, inserted into the holding compartment, communicates a high intensity light beam through the baton. When pushed, a button, mounted to the rear cap, switches the flashlight into a plurality of modes such as an on/off mode, a strobe mode, and a mode to generate help or an SOS signal. Thus, the baton has applicability to fire scenes, traffic and crowd control, police operations, military procedures, search and rescue operations, event parking, or just personal use.

  • Patent number: 7538666
    Abstract: An automated accountability system is achieved by a unique combination of at least one stationary, passive-infrared activated low-power wireless RF locator-transponder device, at least one personal issued “pager-like” RF transceiver device and a stationary transceiver contained in a stand-alone master command base monitor or a stationary transceiver connected to a personal computer with monitoring software. These three primary components form an automated accountability system for tracking and locating personnel. The locator-transponder device is capable of detecting the presence of a person or object. The person carries the adjustable level low power radio frequency transceiver device and as the transceiver passes the locator-transponder, a signal with at least identification, status and location information of person. The information is provided automatically without intervention to the automatic accountability system.
