Abstract: The invention, which is a recessed label mount suitable for attachment of a label, comprises: a solid material configured in a geometric shape, the solid material having a mounting surface for the label, a back surface, at least one side; and a fastener recess with a recess base formed in the mounting surface, the fastener recess including a through hole configured to frictionally retain at least a portion of a mechanical fastener.

Abstract: A transparent polyaspartic polymer having elastomeric properties provides resistance to damage by environmental forces, visualization and enhanced tensile strength to a surface upon which the uncured polymer is applied. The polymer is particularly useful for visual inspection through the transparent cured polymer coating, and for protecting, concrete, stone and steel used in buildings, foundations, bridges and the like.

Abstract: A composition comprising clear urethane polymer that has elastomeric properties provides resistance to damage by impact from ballistic projectiles. The composition can be monolithic urethane polymer or a composite with a urethane polymer core layer and a transparent protective substrate layer adjacent one or both planar surfaces of the polymer.

Abstract: The invention is an all-terrain utility vehicle comprising: a support chassis frame; four wheels removably attached to respective adjustable suspension components that are removably attached to the support chassis frame; a transfer case, an electric motor, and an engine mounted on the support chassis frame; removable personnel seats; and a battery mounted on the support chassis frame.

Abstract: A portable, manually operable, trigger-activated pump spray applicator can be used to apply paints and coating fluids in commercial and military end use applications, especially chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) fluids. The applicator includes an impermeable, preferably rigid-walled, container capped by a manually operable spray pump with a single fluid nozzle. The assembly has capability of producing an atomized spray of viscous coating fluids. The applicator includes internal agitators suitable to redisperse solid components of the coating fluid that settle after long-term storage. The agitators include a plurality of small, heavy spheres and a single large, heavy, striker. The inside bottom wall and side wall meet with a concave radius of curvature that matches the radius of the small spheres. The striker has a characteristic dimension of about 10-500% greater than the diameter of the small spheres.

Abstract: A protective hood with air-purifying filter cartridge for safe escape from a hazardous atmosphere has a system for quickly donning the hood. A fabric strap attached to the rear of the hood has the strap lengths extending forward through circular rings near the chin. Optional enlarged ends prevent the strap from pulling rearward from the rings. Hook-and-loop fasteners are on the hood shell and the strap lengths. To deploy, the user simultaneously tugs on both strap ends to tighten the hood on the head then contacts the mating fastener parts to maintain strap tension. The hood is adjusted to optimum position on the head with a single motion. The hood is light weight and the shell is collapsible permitting the hood to fold on itself to extremely small volume for storage in an emergency kit or small personal luggage.

Abstract: A portable, stylish, comprehensively stocked emergency escape and survival package gives the user ability to successfully confront diverse emergency and disaster conditions most likely encountered in the urban or suburban environment.
