Abstract: A multifunctional tool is provided with a first functional element connected to the first housing member and extending outwardly therefrom to a first distal end, and a second housing member supported by the first housing member for translation relative to the first housing member between a first position and a second position. A second functional element is supported by the second housing member and extending outwardly therefrom to a second distal end. The second distal end is positioned between the first housing member and the first, distal end with the second housing member in the first position. The first distal end is positioned between the first housing member and the second distal end with the second housing member in the second position.

Abstract: A method of performing regional heating of a substrate by electromagnetic induction heating. The method may include applying a semiconductor film to the substrate and controllably energizing a coil positioned near the substrate. The energized coil(s) thereby generates a magnetic flux, which induces a current in the substrate and/or the semiconductor film, thereby heating the substrate and/or semiconductor film. The method may also include relative motion between the coil and the substrate to provide translation heating of the semiconductor film. Additionally, a crystal seeding mechanism may be employed to further control the crystallization process.

Abstract: An optical platform assembly may include a head with a scan mirror; a body with an optical module to detect a hard body object; and a rotary connector that attaches the head to the body of the optical platform assembly. In some instances, the rotary connector may allow the head to rotate about the body, where the body is mounted and stationary to the surface. The optical body may be configured to detect for specific hard body objects, such as periscopes.

Abstract: A connector includes an outer connection element and an inner connection element. One of the outer connection element and inner connection element includes a plurality of fingers extending at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the connector.

Abstract: A personal beverage processing apparatus for processing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages includes an outer shell defining a generally airtight interior area, spaced apart environment access openings. A plurality of environmental modules are situated in the interior area of the outer shell, Each environmental module includes a vessel for receiving a liquid, at least one environmental sensor configured to detect an environmental condition, a module fan, and pressure sensitive vent.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a removable memory unit (RMU) that facilitates concatenation of said memory modules irrespective of their individual physical interfaces, enables encryption/decryption keys (including cryptographic ignition keys (CIKs)) to reside onboard the RMU, provides for physical separation of RED and BLACK data in cross-domain environments and implements zeroization functionality onboard the RMU. Further embodiments provide a swappable IO backplane and adapter plates for incorporation into a wide variety of platforms.

Abstract: A compressible gas ejector is configured to present unexpanded motive gas to a load gas, wherein the interface of the unexpanded motive gas and the load gas can be located in a suction chamber or within a downstream diffuser. The ejector includes a motive funnel for increasing the velocity of a relatively high pressure motive gas, the motive funnel substantially precluding adiabatic expansion of the motive gas.

Abstract: Three specific problems or needs related to deployment of fiber optic repeater distributed antenna systems are addressed by providing a particularly configured enclosure or cabinet adapted to protect repeaters from vandalism, enclose power components directly below the repeaters, and provide uninhibited ventilation. The cabinet includes a first cabinet portion partially enclosing a first chamber in which the repeater is receivable, a second cabinet portion at least partially enclosing a second chamber in which the power source components are receivable, and a door mounted to the first cabinet portion so as to be movable between a closed position, in which access to the first chamber is prevented, and an open position, providing access to the first chamber. A locking mechanism by which the door can be securely retained in the closed position includes a handle which is redundantly securable in an inoperative position, thereby preventing locking mechanism operation and precluding access to the first chamber.

Abstract: The Fire Tree, Fire Sprout, and the Pressurized Water Fire Extinguisher Carry Assembly represent a more reliable means of providing temporary, portable fire extinguishers on site, closer to the end user's high valued assets. The Fire Tree Systems are offered with or without portable extinguishers at the end user's discretion. Special or dedicated extinguisher types are also available at the discretion of the end user The system is presented with a deployable storage/transporting container. The storage container is offered with wheels for tarmac or paved site applications, or standard dunage (two peices of 4×4 attached to the base of the storage container in lue of wheels) for off road applications, manual, or fork lift use on surfaces that are other than tarmac or paved.

Abstract: A shoe having a resilient sole, an upper secured to the sole, and a rockable member within a cavity in the sole. The rockable member is configured for side-to-side rocking in the sole cavity between a neutral position and a tilted position as the wearer's foot is moved relative to the sole between a neutral position and a tilted position.

Abstract: A tug-resistant unit in which the first and second relatively inextensible members overlap one another. A shear-thickening composition having dilatant flow characteristics is disposed between the first and the second inextensible members. The composition provides a variable resistance to linear movement of the second inextensible member relative to the first inextensible member as a function of the shear forces exerted upon the dilatant fluid. The inextensible members may be enclosed within an extensible enclosure to form an elastic strap. Alternatively, one inextensible member may form a portion of the enclosure while the second inextensible member is disposed within the strap so as to overlap the first inextensible portion of the enclosure. The strap provides low resistance to slowly-varying tensile forces and high resistance to rapidly-changing tensile forces, thereby moderating the velocity of relative motion between the ends.

Abstract: A garment, in one embodiment of the invention, reduces the risk of bone fracture of a human or animal subject due to impact forces on a vulnerable region having a bone part near the skin surface when the vulnerable region is proximate to a soft tissue region lacking a bone part near the skin surface. The garment has an arrangement for shunting a substantial portion of the impact energy from the vulnerable region to the soft tissue region, where such energy may be safely absorbed and/or dissipated. In a further embodiment, there is utilized a dilatent material that is relatively stiff near the time of impact and relatively fluid at other times. Related methods are also provided.
