Abstract: A military communications unit that utilizes a relatively high-bandwidth digital communication networks (e.g., cellular networks) is capable of acting as a wireless communications hub for a soldier, vehicle, weapon, or other entity. The military communications unit can obtain data from multiple devices via close-range wireless technologies and communicate with training or operational networks. The military communications unit can be flexible in its capacity to relay data by formatting data in accordance with Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High-Level Architecture (HLA), and/or another distributed computer simulation standard. Moreover, the military communications unit may be further capable of “re-banding,” enabling communications using cellular protocols and/or standards in non-cellular frequency bands.

Abstract: A weapon system including a weapon attachment for attaching to a barrel of a weapon. The weapon attachment may include a light receiving device configured to receive a first light signal transmitted within the barrel. The weapon attachment may also include a first interface for communicating with a weapon-mountable instrumentation laser. The instrumentation laser may be attached to the weapon and may be configured to transmit a second light signal. The weapon attachment may further include a processing unit coupled with the light receiving device. The processing unit may be configured to receive, via the light receiving device, the first light signal, and to transmit an instruction signal to the instrumentation laser via the first interface causing the instrumentation laser to transmit the second light signal.

Abstract: A swarm can develop around a piece of content. The swarm can include the original content, changes to the original content, the persons contributing the changes, and metadata, such as comments contributed by members of the swarm. A swarm can also include statistics generated about the content, such as the size of the swarm, the growth and/or death rates of the swarm, the longevity of the swarm, the intensity of the swarm, the persistence of the swarm, and the direction of the swarm. Swarms and their behaviors can be used to validate or invalidate content.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a multi-event videoconference correct marketing sales event is provided. Attendees walked into a videoconference event server's (VES) webpage, which then begins downloading a master event file of video clips to the way during the course of the event. The VES provides a step by step guide to managing the operation of the event including order entry and recruitment of future hosts.

Abstract: A system can include multiple individual status identifiers that correspond to multiple users and a group status identifier that corresponds to a group with which the users are associated. A status identifier update module can update the group status identifier based on a change to at least one of the individual status identifiers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a repeater system, comprising: first transceiver circuitry, for establishing communications with a base station of a cellular communications system; second transceiver circuitry, for establishing communications with a wireless device; and a single antenna system, comprising a plurality of antenna elements. Signals to and from the first transceiver circuitry and the second transceiver circuitry can each be received and transmitted through the single antenna system. The single antenna system includes beam definition circuitry, in which amplitudes of signals between the first transceiver circuitry and each antenna element, and between the second transceiver circuitry and each antenna element, can be adjusted independently, such that different beam patterns can be provided for the first transceiver circuitry and the second transceiver circuitry.

Abstract: A spout assembly configured to be attached to a mouth of a bottle to facilitate pouring of the contents of the bottle. The spout assembly includes a cap having an upper surface and defining an axial passageway; a spout mounted within the cap and movable between a retracted position, in which the spout is disposed within the axial passageway below the upper surface, and an extended position, in which at least a portion of the spout extends above the upper surface; and a first polarized magnet attached to the cap and a second polarized magnet attached to the spout, wherein the first polarized magnet and second polarized magnet magnetically bias the spout into the extended position.

Abstract: An antenna system has multiple antenna elements, and multiple connection points allowing multiple users to connect to the antenna system. Each connection point is connected to each of the antenna elements through respective amplitude control circuitry, with the beam shape for each user being controlled by the amplitude control circuitry in the paths between that user's connection point and the antenna elements. The beam shapes for the different users are then independently controllable.

Abstract: The invention describes an apparatus (10) for applying marking to perpendicular surfaces (15, 17) of an object (16) being conveyed along a line (11). A single marking head (12) is mounted on a positioning arm (14) which directs the marking head across the direction of the conveyor while applying marking to a first surface (15) of the object. The marking head is then rotated through 90° and held at one side of the conveyor so that a second, perpendicular, surface (17) of the object can be marked as the object is conveyed past the marking head. The invention uses the kinetic energy of the moving object to effect movement of the marking head.
