Abstract: This disclosure presents a deployable spill containment system and method. In one embodiment, the spill containment device forms a shallow container covering a large area. The coverage area and depth may vary. The spill containment device may have deformable walls that allow vehicles to drive over and into the protection area during deployment. Furthermore, the spill containment device may be rolled, folded, or both, for storage and transportation, such as fitting in a bed of a pickup truck. The spill containment system includes replaceable components for easy repair, exchange, and modification when needed.
Abstract: A ballistic-resistant garment having an incrementally-adjustable fit, and methods of making and using such a ballistic-resistant garment, whereby the ballistic-resistant garment includes a front panel having a front panel pocket configured to receive a first ballistic-resistant insert; a back panel having a back panel pocket configured to receive a second ballistic-resistant insert; a front panel first fastener coupled to the front panel; and a plurality of discrete back panel first fasteners coupled in spaced apart relation to the back panel, whereby each of the discrete back panel first fasteners is configured to matably engage with the front panel first fastener to provide a first pair of releasably engaged fasteners which couple the front and back panels to fasten the ballistic-resistant garment about a torso of a wearer.

Abstract: Systems and methods of verifying runtime integrity with a trusted execution environment (TEE) may include generating, by a processor in communication with the TEE, a secure communication channel between the TEE and at least one executable program attempting to communicate with the TEE, providing, by the processor, a moving target defense (MTD) module to the at least one executable program via the generated secure communication channel, wherein the MTD module comprises disposable polymorphic code, sending over the secured communication channel, by the processor: data, received from the at least one executable program, and a transformed runtime digest of the at least one executable program, and allowing, by the processor, communication with the TEE when the validity of the transformed runtime digest of the corresponding at least one executable program is verified.
Abstract: A method of protecting a computing device is provided including detachably connecting a leading edge of a base portion of the computing device to one or more device receiving members of a first portion of a case. The trailing edge of the base portion is secured to the first portion of the case. The first portion of the case may substantially envelope the base portion of the computing device and a plurality of perimetral fastening members may be detachably connected to a second portion of the case. The perimetral fastening members may detachably connect to perimetral edges of a screen portion of the computing device. A protective shell may be formed around the computing device by pivoting adjoining edges of the first and second portions of the case about a linking pliable member in communication with the trailing edge of the computing device.
Abstract: A composite case for a computing device including a first portion to protect and detachably connect to a display portion. The first portion may have perimetral fasteners disposed on its edges. A second portion is for protecting and detachably connecting to an input device portion of the computing device. The second portion may have perimetral fasteners disposed on its edges. The display and input device portions can be detachably connected to each other through a multi-pivot hinge unit operable to rotate about one or more computing device axes defined between the display and input device portions to move the computing device between open and closed states. A hinge cover portion can be connected to the first portion operable to detachably receive and surround the multi-pivot hinge of the computing device. A protective shell can be formed between first and second portions.
Abstract: A subassembly for inserting a frangible pressure disc seal in the inner conduit of a tubing string in a wellbore, particularly for a deviated wellbore, to seal the tubing string to provide pressure control while required by the operator.
Abstract: An embodiment includes an open/non-closed hull collar assembly that is shaped to increase encapsulated volume of a hull. The hull collar assembly may include a hull collar structure and a foam module. The hull collar structure may include a gunwale, an outboard boundary, and an inboard boundary. The outboard boundary extends in an outward lateral direction from a lower hull portion and extends in a longitudinal direction from the lower hull portion such that at least a portion of the hull collar structure is at least partially included in a freeboard portion of a boat hull. The inboard boundary extends from the gunwale a portion of a distance to a deck such that the hull collar structure is at least partially open or non-closed to an inner hull volume. The foam module is comprised of a non-expansive, closed cell foam. The foam module is shaped for disposition within the hull collar structure.
Abstract: A ballistic resistant panel can be configured to be quickly and easily installed in a vehicle door. The ballistic resistant panel can include a plurality of ballistic sheets arranged in a stack. The stack can have an outer perimeter sized to fit within a cavity of the vehicle door. The panel can include a cover disposed over the stack, and the cover can be sealed around a perimeter of the stack to form a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from reaching and altering the performance of the ballistic sheets. At least one anti-wear strip can be adhered to an outer surface of the cover. The anti-wear strip can provide a low friction surface that protects the panel from damage caused by moving internal door components, such as moving window components that repeatedly rub against the panel.

Abstract: A window for use in a vehicle includes a plastic base sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface. A glass sheet is attached to the plastic base sheet. The glass sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the glass sheet faces the outer surface of the plastic base sheet. A plastic frame sheet is attached to the plastic base sheet. The plastic frame sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the plastic frame sheet faces the outer surface of the plastic base sheet. The plastic frame sheet has an opening exposing at least a portion of the glass sheet through the opening.
Abstract: An automated can adjustment system for a can cleaning system and associated method is disclosed. The automated can adjustment system can store different stage height information corresponding to various cans with different heights in a controller. The stage height information corresponding to the different can heights is associated with and recallable by various preset buttons operatively coupled with the controller. The controller is configured to communicate with the one or more drive mechanisms to adjust one or more stage heights based on the stage height information recalled when a particular preset button is selected. Different stage heights may be changed by then selecting a different preset button associated with a can having a different height.
