Abstract: A system for dismantling defective BGA chips from double-sided PCBA having a fix stage and a cooling stage. The fix stage includes at least one shield that prevents hot air from a hot air gun to heat BGA chips that are adjacent to the defective BGA chips. The cooling stage prevents overheating of the BGA chips that are on the opposite side of the double-sided PCBA by conducting heat away from the BGA chips during the process.

Abstract: An air breathing battery apparatus is connected to the hollow tubing of a backpack frame to provide an uninterrupted, water-resistant, light-weight power supply during extended remote operations in the field. Air breathing power sources are connected to the hollow tubes of the backpack assembly to provide a constant uninterrupted air supply in a relatively small package that fits easily into the backpack frame with only negligible added weight. The positioning of the air breathing power source in a backpack composed of hollow tubing also protects the battery from inclement weather or when the user is in water, for example, while fording a river or stream, to permit the uninterrupted use of the electronics powered by the battery.

Abstract: A programmable parking meter and integrated paging transmitter is provided to warn the parking patron with a pre-violation notice that the parking time is about to expire. The programmable parking meter and integrated paging transmitter includes a rechargeable battery, a flat display that provides programming options and status of parking information to the parking patron, coin slots for use as a conventional coin operated parking meter, an automated teller machine (ATM) style keyboard to activate and program the paging apparatus, and a paging transmitter to interface with existing digital relays and infrastructure for personal communications devices. The invention also includes a method for notifying a remote parking patron that a programmable parking meter and integrated paging transmitter is scheduled to expire.

Abstract: A synchronized ammunition container apparatus and system is provided with a weapon, rotating automatic arm, ammunition container, and rotatable turret base that allows an anti-aircraft weapon, to traverse, depress and elevate in order to engage a rapid, head-on, fly-over target. The synchronized ammunition container apparatus synchronizes the movement and position of the rotating automatic single arm, ammunition container and rotatable turret base to insure that the ammunition belt will not twist, tangle or break when the weapon follows a rapid, head-on, fly-over target. The synchronized ammunition container system and apparatus gives the user increased flexibility for multiple deployment locations and engaging multiple targets from different directions. Other embodiments include a synchronized anti-aircraft ammunition container and combining the apparatus and anti-aircraft weapon into an integrated anti-aircraft defense system with the synchronized ammunition container.

Abstract: A firearm includes a barrel that has a central axis, a receiver fixedly supporting the barrel, and a gunstock that is connected to the receiver and that has a longitudinal axis. The gunstock and the receiver are each configured to provide for angular movement of the gunstock relative to the receiver and, in turn, the barrel whereby the central axis of the barrel varies in a generally radial direction extending from the longitudinal axis of the gunstock. In this way, the firearm may be discharged by a warfighter, standing adjacent to a corner, around the corner.

Abstract: A close quarter combat butt stock and blade apparatus for an assault weapon is provided with a slideable cover for a close quarters combat assembly having a rear bayonet. The close quarters combat assembly is connected to the concealed rear bayonet, has an interior opening that defines a close combat handle and a hand shield and is positioned behind the first pistol grip and first trigger. A second trigger is also built into the interior opening. In a closed position, the slideable cover covers the close quarters combat assembly and the rear bayonet remains concealed within the butt stock. When the slideable cover is in the open position, the rear bayonet is simultaneously extended rearward permitting the military and law enforcement user to thrust the rear bayonet at an opponent attacking from the rear or side.

Abstract: A bayonet assembly, for a firearm that has a knuckleguard, includes a rail connected to the firearm where the rail comprises a first position detent and a second position detent. The bayonet assembly may also include a bayonet that, in turn, includes a blade and a slide. The slide may be dimensioned and configured to engage the rail and the slide may include a slide catch that is dimensioned and configured to be engageable with the first position detent and the second position detent. In operation, the bayonet may be slid by a hand that is located within the knuckleguard from a remote position, where the slide catch engages the first position detent, to an extended position, where the slide catch engages the second position detent.
