Abstract: The invention is a bow release that has two positions; a shooting position and an away position. The release has an elongated member that extends from the wrist band to engage the bow string. This elongated member is attached to a pivoting mechanism that allows the elongated member to rotate 180° therefore freeing the hand of the user. The user is free to use that hand for purposes such as climbing, rattling, grunting, attaching safety equipment and other uses of that hand. The device gives the user the ability to use a free hand making the device safer to use.

Abstract: A distributed real time health monitoring system is described for monitoring of acoustic emission signals from different regions of a structure such as aircraft or spacecraft structures. The health monitoring system has its analysis and prognosis intelligence distributed out to the local regions being monitored and therefore does not require extensive cabling systems to carry the high bandwidth information characteristic of acoustic emission.
