Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate managing communications between an origin and a destination using end-user and/or administrator configurable virtual private network(s) (VPN(s)). A first VPN that defines a first data path between an origin and a destination can be defined at a first time. A second VPN that defines a second, different data path between the origin and the destination can defined at a second time. Each packet sent across the first VPN and each packet sent across the second VPN can follow the same data path for that VPN, such each packet can be sent across the first VPN or the second VPN in the order it was received, and the transition between the first VPN and the second VPN can be “seamless,” and communications between the origin and the destination are not disrupted between the first time period and the second time period.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes sending a first data unit, received from a source device, to a destination device via a first data unit path. The first data unit path includes (1) a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine that are included in a first network, and (2) a third virtual machine that is included in a second network. Furthermore, the first data unit path includes the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine, and the third virtual machine in a first order. The method includes sending a second data unit, received from the source device, to the destination device via a second data unit path from the source device to the destination device. The second data unit path includes each of the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine, and the third virtual machine in a second order different from the first order.

Abstract: A firearm having a housing, a handle coupled to the housing, at least two barrels, and a firing control assembly arranged within the housing. Each barrel may be configured to expel a round therefrom. The firing control assembly may have a trigger configured to be depressed by a user and at least two firing pins, each corresponding with one of the at least two barrels. The firing control assembly may additionally have a rotatable state change cog and a pawl configured to engage with at least one of the firing pins. The firing control assembly may additionally have a pawl selector configured to engage with the pawl. The pawl selector may be configured to slide between a first position and a second position in response to rotation of the state change cog.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel and advantageous firearm holster. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a holster for a foldable or concealable firearms. A holster of the present disclosure may be configured to holster a firearm that has, or is foldable into, a generally rectangular shape. Such firearms may be sized, shaped, and configured to appear like a smartphone or other device. In other embodiments, the holster may be configured to accommodate other foldable or concealable firearms. The holster may allow a user to secure the firearm to her or his person, such as on a waistband, belt, or pocket ledge, for example. The holster may be configured such that a foldable firearm may be positioned therein in a folded or unfolded position. Moreover, the holster may allow a user to easily unfold a foldable firearm while the firearm is arranged in the holster. The holster may additionally be configured to allow a user to discharge the firearm while the firearm is arranged in the holster.

Abstract: A concealable firearm is disclosed. The handle of the firearm is adjustable from a concealed position to an in-use position. When the handle is in the concealed position, the firearm has the appearance of a cell phone. This allows the firearm to be carried in the open and be easily accessible without drawing attention to the person carrying the firearm. The firearm cannot fire when in the concealed position because the trigger is not accessible.

Abstract: A folding pistol has a frame having slide rails adapted to receive a slide, a grip defining a magazine passage pivotally connected to the frame at a first pivot and having a free end extending away from the first pivot, the grip being movable between an extended position in which the pistol is operable, and a stowed position in which the free end of the grip is adjacent the frame, a forward trigger guard element pivotally connected to the frame at a second pivot, a lower trigger guard element connected to the forward trigger guard element at a third pivot, and the lower trigger guard element connected to the grip at a fourth pivot. The first, second, third, and fourth pivots may be at different locations. There may be a trigger connected to the frame at a selected one of the first, second, third, and fourth pivots.

Abstract: Disclosed is a holster for concealment inside a waistband of a lower garment of a user. The holster includes a support sheet having first and second surfaces and made of at least first and second layers of different material. The first layer comprises a pliable leather material and the second layer comprises a resilient elastomeric cushion material. The second layer is positioned inward toward the user relative to the first layer when the holster is in use. A rigid shell member is attached to the support sheet and forms, with the first side of the support sheet, a pocket configured to encase a portion of a handgun. At least one garment attachment member is provided on the support sheet and is configured to support the holster inside a waistband of a lower garment of a user. In one example, the resilient elastomeric cushion material may be neoprene.

Abstract: The invention related to a polyurethane foam panel which is substantially RF-transparent from 0 MHz to 100,000 MHz, & OMNI antennas and which can be camouflaged by application of paint and other coatings to match the exterior surfaces of buildings, rooftops, exterior walks, silos, flagpoles, steeples, and other structures on which such antennas may be installed. These foam panels are used to form an inexpensive, safe, efficient, structurally sound method to camouflage cellular, PCS, RADOM & OMNI, and other antennas.
