  • Patent number: 10474144
    Abstract: An adaptive situational awareness, decision support, and automated response system operable to receive sensor data or situational awareness data for a region of interest along or in advance of a path of travel of a vehicle obtained from at least a mobile reconnaissance sensor platform and select/execute one or more response programming or plans to operate one or more vehicle equipment items, e.g., a remote interaction, control or jamming system, from a stored database, manual inputs, or a distributive network based on matching of plans/programs with at least one of the sensor outputs or situational awareness data is provided. Apparatus and methods are also provided that enable an exemplary system to obtain data associated with an area surrounding the vehicle and provide this data to other system, subsystems, and personnel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10080531
    Abstract: Embodiments of medical device(s) configured for use by a debilitated or single handed user including flexible strap sections, a semi-rigid strap section configured to be formed into at least a partially enclosing semi-rigid shape by the user, and a ratcheting strap retraction unit or buckle coupled to one end of the first flexible strap section and an oversized buckle on an opposing end of the first strap section. A semi-rigid strap section is configured to insert into and be drawn into the oversized buckle and formed into an enclosing shape, maneuvered by the user over an injured appendage past a point of injury, then folded back over the oversized buckle; next the user operates the ratcheting strap retraction unit or buckle to constrict the strap sections to apply enclosing pressure to the injured appendage. Embodiments can further comprise an injector medical case module and a medical condition monitoring system.

  • Patent number: 9877208
    Abstract: Exemplary apparatuses and methods are provided associated with an unobtrusive router/relay system (URRS) configured to communicate with a plurality of radio frequency (RF) systems including a first radio frequency (RF) system (e.g. a cell phone, RF system carried or used by an individual or team, etc.), other URRS systems (which each include a second RF receiver/transmitter), and an RF communication's hub (e.g. cell tower, tethered UAV, control center, etc.). Locations are identified for a specific location or number of locations along a transit path where the RF communication's hub lacks transmit/receive coverage with the first RF system. URRS are positioned in the locations or transit path lacking RF communication hub transmit/receive coverage. The exemplary URRS are configured to route/relay the first RF system's signals to the RF communications' hub directly or through one or more other URRS systems. URRS are designed to blend with their surroundings.

  • Publication number: 20170123225
    Abstract: Exemplary apparatuses and methods are provided which provide an ability for rapid manipulation of a light obscuring cover to control brightness of an optical medium based sight assembly reticle projector. Shapes or portions of an exemplary cover can be formed to provide structural elements oriented, shaped, and positioned within a range of motion distance of a user's normal finger or hand positions on an equipment item, e.g. a weapon, suitable for rapid manipulation or repositioning of the cover by a user while minimizing accidental manipulation or movement. The light obscuring cover may flexibly conform and grip to sections of the sight assembly to cover the fiber optic cable or medium. In one embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a lanyard element configured for attaching the light obscuring cover to the scope and thereby be used to manipulate, locate, adjust, or arrest the cover's motion in relation to the sight assembly.
