Abstract: The invention is directed to a shifter assembly (1) for controlling the transmission of a vehicle. A rotatably mounted actuation element (2) with a locking track is rotatable for selection of a shift stage and at least one locking assembly (8, 9) with a rotatable locking member (13) may lock the actuation element (2) against rotation. The locking track is provided on the circumference of a ratchet wheel (4, 5) connected to the actuation element (2), and the locking assembly (8,9) includes a biasing member (12) applied to the locking member (13) to rotationally bias the locking member (13) such as to engage and lock the ratchet wheel. An electrically activated retaining device (11) is configured to retain the locking member (13) in a position such that the locking member (13) is prevented from rotating and engaging the ratchet wheel (4, 5) under the force of the biasing member (12).

Abstract: A method including measuring a physical quantity having a magnitude that changes in time as a result of a fire shot event so as to obtain a measurement signal, and comparing the measurement signal with a predetermined time-domain fingerprint for said quantity, which fingerprint is characteristic of the way the quantity varies in time upon a fire shot event, in order to confirm the occurrence of a fire shot event in case the measurement signal and the fingerprint match.

Abstract: A device for simulating fire effects in military or civilian combat training. The device includes a light source configured to produce light beams and a light source control adapted to control a light lobe formed by the light beams from the light source. The light source control includes a two-dimensional array of elements electronically controllable to assume a selected state among at least a first state of letting through light incident thereupon in a main direction of the light lobe or a second state of not letting through the light incident thereupon in the main direction, and a unit adapted to control the elements for designing the spatial propagation of the light lobe.

Abstract: An impact cartridge unit for military exercise including a cartridge including a propulsive agent and on top thereof a grenade simulating member simulating a low velocity grenade to be fired by a firearm or the like. The grenade simulating member includes an arrangement adapted to simulate a detonation of a low velocity grenade and trigger associated therewith for triggering the detonation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device and method for a protective mask comprising means (3) for detecting that a protective-mask user is breathing through the breathing filter of the protective mask. The invention is characterized in that the means for detecting protective-mask use are arranged to sense the underpressure that arises in the protective mask during inhalation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for associating an object of a second type with at least one object from a group of objects of a first type. The method is to be used in combat exercises and the above mentioned objects are players and weapons. According to the method, a signal containing the identity of the object is transmitted from each object in the group, whereupon the transmitted signals are received by the object of the second type, and the received signals are analyzed. The object of the second type is then associated with at least one preferred object in the group on the basis of the signal analysis, whereupon any previous association(s) of the object of the second type with objects of the first type is/are taken into account in the associating process. The invention also includes a device for a receiver arranged so as to realize the foregoing method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for simulating fire effects in military or civilian combat training, said device comprising a light source (1) and means adapted to control a light lobe formed by light beams from said light source. Said means comprises a two-dimensional array (3) of elements (18) electronically controllable to assume a selected state among at least a first state of letting through said light inciding thereupon in a main direction of said light lobe or a second state of not letting through said light inciding thereupon in said main direction, and a unit (2) adapted to control said elements for designing the spatial propagation of said light lobe.

Abstract: The invention relates to simulation of effects in a combat environment, wherein personnel, vehicles and buildings are exposed to simulated fire from military weapons. Direct fire and indirect fire are simulated by means of at least one of light rays and radio waves. Effects of attacking fire are registered by means of a target object device, which includes sensors adapted to detect the light rays respective the radio waves and are co-located with the target object (140). According to the invention the target object is associated to at least one protecting object located between the simulated fire and the target object if such object exists in the current combat situation. This enables a consideration to various protecting object— influence on the simulated fire and the effects on corresponding actual fire.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for training behavior during a nuclear, biological or chemical warfare attack, including a number of players. The method includes determining exposure to a simulated nuclear, biological or chemical attack for each player; providing a signal indicating said exposure in at least one alarm simulator unit, said alarm simulating unit generating an audio/visible alarm signal; and establishing the effect of said exposure for each player.

Abstract: The invention relates to simulation of effects in a combat environment, wherein personnel, vehicles and buildings are exposed to simulated fire in the from military weapons. Direct fire and indirect fire are simulated by means of at least one of light rays (111) and radio waves (121). Effects of attacking fire are registered by means of a target object device (145), which includes sensors adapted to detect the light rays (111) respective the radio waves (121) and are co-located with the target object (140). According to the invention the target object (140) is associated to at least one protecting object (130a; 130a′) located between the simulated fire (111; 121) and the target object (140) if such object exists in the current combat situation. This enables a consideration to various protecting objects' (130a; 130a′) influence on the simulated fire and the effects on corresponding actual fire.
