Abstract: The improved rail interface system uses a spring tensioned “locking” shoe that extends from the accessory body into the rail opening to restrictively engage the edges of the rail openings and hold the weapon accessory against the weapon or weapon component. The locking shoe mechanisms is incorporated into a weapon light mount but may be adapted for use with M-Lok® style rail openings without the use of specialized nuts and fasteners.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a vehicle structure, a bumper, an elongate structural member, and an extension portion. The elongate structural member is able to crush longitudinally in response to application of force in a longitudinal direction. The extension portion is able to crush longitudinally in response to application of force in the longitudinal direction, is connected to the elongate structural member such that the elongate structural member and the extension portion support the bumper with respect to the vehicle structure, and is operable to move the bumper between an extended position and a retracted position with respect to the vehicle structure to change a distance between the bumper and the vehicle structure.

Abstract: A clamping and cutting device that has a blade and blade receptacle aspect of the cutting mechanism with open clamping mechanisms that are actuated in a step-wise fashion due to a mechanical timing mechanism.

Abstract: A docking assembly for a handheld device comprising a handle and associated methods are disclosed herein. The docking assembly may include a base, a tube extending from the base, and a dock cup in rotatable communication with the tube. The dock cup may be configured to mate with the handle. The docking assembly also may include an electrical connection assembly configured to mate with the handle when the handle is positioned within the dock cup. Moreover, the docking assembly may include a first locking assembly configured to lock the handle in the dock cup to prevent the handle from being removed from the dock cup, and a second locking assembly configured to lock the orientation of the dock cup to prevent rotation of the dock cup.

Abstract: A device for establishing a connection with an electronic device comprises a connection device, a lever and a pedestal having a face comprises a latch having a degree of rotation with the pedestal. The connection device has one degree of rotation according to a first axis parallel to the face of the pedestal, and comprises the electronic connector and a concave relief. The lever is linked to the pedestal by a linkage comprising at least one degree of rotation according to a second axis parallel to the first axis of rotation. The lever comprises a convex relief corresponding to the concave relief of the connection device, and an elastic component adapted to maintain a contact between the lever and the pedestal. The lever is configured to enter in contact with the connection device after a rotation of the connection device enabled by the rotation of the latch.

Abstract: A novel maize variety designated X95D076 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof, produced by crossing Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. proprietary inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprises crossing hybrid maize variety X95D076 with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X95D076 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. This invention relates to the maize variety X95D076, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X95D076. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X95D076.
