  • Patent number: 10066916
    Abstract: An EOD disruptor system for penetrating steel encased explosive devices has a barrel and a blank cartridge loaded in the EOD disruptor. A water column is disposed in the barrel in front of the blank cartridge. A water plug is disposed in front of the water column. A muzzle-loaded projectile is disposed in front of the water plug. The projectile includes a shaft portion at least partially disposed in the barrel and a front portion disposed outside of the barrel. The shaft portion may have a length from about four inches to about eighteen inches. The projectile may have a weight from about four ounces to about two pounds.

  • Publication number: 20140272908
    Abstract: The invention contemplates a real time learning system and method with machine executed steps of creating a student learning profile based upon testing the student, and dynamically optimizing the learning profile based upon student responsive data to instruction. The method includes dynamically optimizing a curriculum based upon the dynamically optimized learning profile (DOLP) of the student and providing lessons or lesson guidance for the student based upon the dynamically optimized curriculum (DOC). The DOLP stores data including real time frequency curves of affect value versus success rate for multiple content delivery methods (DMs). Frequency curves of multiple DMs are compared and optimal DM amounts obtained. Affect value is a measurement of affective state based upon sensor data or determined sensor-free. Affective state may be engaged concentration, boredom, confusion, frustration, etc. A dynamically optimized teaching profile (DOTP) is contemplated.

  • Patent number: 5483442
    Abstract: An accident documentation system comprising an accident documentation assembly and a computerized tracking system integrated therewith. The accident documentation assembly comprises a strap fixedly attached to pouch, with a plurality of members coordinated to routinely document an automobile accident. Slidably attached to this strap through an elongated slot is a substrate upon which is imprinted documentation-directing indicia. The accident documentation assembly includes a camera for visually recording the accident scene and continuous-feed pen and a marker for recording the accident scene on predefined forms and involved pavement, as appropriate.
