Abstract: A crash locking tongue for use as part of a seat belt restraining system that includes a buckle that is reversibly coupled with the crash locking tongue and a belt webbing that restrains the movement of a passenger in a vehicle. The crash locking tongue includes a base plate configured to reversibly couple with the buckle; a lockbar having a clamping surface that is in contact with the belt webbing; an elastomeric spring; and a cover material overmolded on the base plate. The crash locking tongue is configured such that the lockbar undergoes a vertical translation upon the occurrence of a vehicle accident. This vertical translation applies an inward pressure on the belt webbing, thereby, reducing or eliminating movement of the belt webbing.

Abstract: A lockbar in a tongue of a seat belt system in a vehicle, wherein the crash locking tongue includes the lockbar, a base plate, and a cover material overmolded onto the base plate. The base plate is configured to be reversibly coupled to a buckle in the seat belt system and to have a slot through which a belt webbing extends in order to restrain the movement of a passenger in the vehicle. The lockbar includes one or more fins located on a bottom surface near a front edge, a pair of guide wings located on a back edge adjacent to opposite sides, a clamping surface that is in contact with the belt webbing, and an elastomeric spring. The lockbar undergoes a vertical translation upon a vehicle accident that causes a clamping surface to apply an inward pressure on the belt webbing, thereby, reducing movement of the belt webbing.

Abstract: The invention provides modular air management devices for directing or diverting air flow within an equipment cabinet or enclosure to provide adequate cooling for non-“front to back” breathing electronic devices, and include a scoop assembly, a tray assembly, a vertical mount assembly, and a shroud assembly. The air management devices are designed to direct air flow to and from “side to side” breathing and “side inlet, rear exhaust” electronic equipment. The assemblies may be mounted inside or outside enclosure rails and may be augmented with fan assemblies.

Abstract: A system and method for providing seamless communication with threads executing on an embedded computer. Using a DAT system, a programmer can test the communication interfaces of a thread via either a scripting program, any COM-compliant program, or a graphical test utility. The DAT system automatically formats a block of data that is transmitted between the embedded computer and a host computer and accounts for machine specific enumeration sizes, machine specific pointer sizes, machine specific structure alignment boundaries, machine specific integer sizes, and machine specific byte ordering.

Abstract: A presentation audio system with two dual-mode, dual-channel, wireless IR microphone/controllers that concurrently transmit multiplexed audio and command IR signals to IR sensors communicating to an amplifier that sends amplified audio to one or more speakers, responsive to the received commands. Each wireless IR microphone/controller includes a microphone and controller in a housing with manual controls and separate redundant groups of transmitting IR LEDs. The amplifier is controlled as to volume, audio sources selected, and control closure operation. First mode controls the audio of the IR microphone/controller that is set in the first mode and second mode controls all audio sources in the system. One manual control is a control closure that may be used to initiate a building alarm or for other purposes. A headset microphone jack enables use of the IR microphone/controller as an IR transmitter. A dual recharger usable vertically or horizontally is included.
