Patent number: 8347422Abstract: A protective garment is provided and includes a jacket having various releasably mounted protective components. The jacket includes a protective collar of ballistic resistant fabric for protecting the neck of a wearer and has front and rear portions which are releasably connected together at opposed side portions of the collar so that the front and rear portions can fold down when not in use. A protective plate is releasably fastened to the front of the jacket and the fastening mechanism allows the plate to be held in a number of different vertical positions. The jacket also includes a rear pocket for housing a rear protective plate. The sleeves of the jacket include a sleeve extension which is slideably mounted to the main sleeve to vary its effective length.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2006Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Allen-Vanguard CorporationInventors: Shaik Kalaam, Danny Crossman, Clint Alexander Hedge, Aris Makris, Justin Myles, Richard Jean L'Abbe, Geoffrey Richard Fisher, Magda Slobozianu, Ildiko Palfy, Ismail El Maach, Amir Farshid, Brent Almstedt

Publication number: 20120155039Abstract: An apparatus is provided for recording information about an event resulting in application of a force to a body. The apparatus comprises data recording means for recording the information, sensor means for sensing a parameter which enables a predetermined source of force to be distinguished from another, predetermined source of force, and control means responsive to the sensed parameter for controlling the data recording means. The sensor means may comprise a pressure sensor for sensing shockwaves resulting from an explosive force and the resulting signal used to distinguish from other events, such as blunt impacts. The pressure signal may be used to control the storage of acceleration data for injury analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: ALLEN-VANGUARD CORPORATIONInventors: Gordana Jeftic-Stojanovski, Lock-Sui Chin, Jeffrey Levine, Jean-Philippe Dionne, Doug Wong, Makris Aristidis

Publication number: 20110309864Abstract: An apparatus is provided for generating a timing signal having an input for receiving a first signal indicating successive time intervals, means for receiving a second signal indicating successive time intervals, and a generator adapted to generate a timing signal based on the second signal and on a relationship between one or more time intervals of the first signal and one or more time intervals of the second signal. This arrangement enables a timing signal to be generated using a time signal produced by a source or device and to be based on a time signal produced by another source or device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: ALLEN-VANGUARD CORPORATIONInventors: Trevor Noel Yensen, Ryan Shawn Halpin, Jeffrey Lariviere

Patent number: 7992421Abstract: An apparatus is provided for recording information about an event resulting in application of a force to a body. The apparatus comprises data recording means for recording the information, sensor means for sensing a parameter which enables a predetermined source of force to be distinguished from another, different source of force, and control means responsive to the sensed parameter for controlling the data recording means. The sensor means may comprise a pressure sensor for sensing shockwaves resulting from an explosive force and the resulting signal used to distinguish from other events, such as blunt impacts. The pressure signal may be used to control the storage of acceleration data for injury analysis.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2008Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Allen-Vanguard CorporationInventors: Gordana Jeftic-Stojanovski, Lock-Sui Chin, Jeffrey Levine, Jean-Philippe Dionne, Doug Wong, Aristidis Makris

Patent number: 7494531Abstract: Defoaming equipment, and more particularly, removing, defoaming, and storing large amounts of foam after a Blast Mitigation or Decontamination Foam has been used in either an open area or in an contained area is described. An apparatus is provided for defoaming, comprising: a vacuum system, including a vacuum head for drawing the foam through a suction hose terminating in a nozzle, that feeds the foam into a holding tank that initially stores a quantity of defoaming agent, and a pump drawing the defoaming agent from the holding tank to at least one injector that is fitted on the vacuum-side of the vacuum system, whereby the defoaming agent is actively mixed with the collected foam, reducing the collected foam. The reduced foam and defoaming agent are recirculated through the pump and the nozzle, the suction hose, the vacuum system, the injector and holding tank are of chemical-resistant construction.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2005Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Allen-Vanguard CorporationInventors: John Davis, Laura Cochrane
