  • Patent number: 8201275
    Abstract: A protective goggle assembly includes a protective goggle having two side straps, each side strap comprises a free end and a first surface attachment region adjacent to the free end on at least one surface of each side strap; and a strap assembly that encircles the user's head, on each side of the strap assembly a second surface attachment region is provided that is configured to engage the first surface attachment region of the side straps. Free ends of the base band of the strap assembly are connected to an elastic ring to form a complete encircling band. The base band has a tail for securing the base band in position on a helmet. The complete encircling band is configured to fit around a soldier's helmet and the elastic ring being configured to fit over and around a night vision goggle mount at a front of the helmet.

  • Patent number: 6342861
    Abstract: A full-wave loop antenna assembly having unique mechanical stability and electromagnetic characteristics is disclosed. The antenna assembly is suitable for use in the High frequency and Very high frequency portions of the electromagnetic spectrum and is capable of supporting multiple driven and parasitic elements in a variety of configurations for multi-band operation. The assembly includes an upper load-bearing boom and a lower boom which may be load bearing, between which at least a part of the weight loads created by the driven and parasitic elements may be distributed. The assembly may also include a parasitic element, tuned as a reflector, which is considerably longer than other parasitic reflectors which are used with antennas of this type, thereby providing the desired directional characteristics over a wider range of frequencies than are obtained by other antennas of its type.
