Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating the selection of content for a television broadcast system. A first request for content in a broadcasting based format is received from a television broadcast system. A second request for content in a computer based format is sent to a network-based content selection system. A content identifier associated with selected content is received from the network-based content selection system and sent to the television broadcast system.

Abstract: Armored critical incident vehicles and methods of use are disclosed. In an aspect, an armored critical incident vehicle useful for protecting and deploying first responders (e.g., SWAT team members) comprises a tracked multi-terrain loader having an enclosed, armored cab and vehicle loader arms and an armored deployment platform attaching to the tracked multi-terrain loaded at the vehicle loader arms. The armored deployment platform has an armored vertical face and an angled deflection plate to provide protection from ballistics from the front and from above.

Abstract: An aircraft emergency lighting system includes a plurality of light units arranged to guide passengers to and to identify exits in an emergency. The light units communicate wirelessly with a remote master control unit operable from the cockpit using a low power spread spectrum signal centered on a single frequency to avoid interference with onboard aircraft control and communication systems. The light units are arranged to receive and transmit any signal to and from the master controller whereby only some of the light units need be within range of the master controller. The light units include battery operated LEDs and cycle between an inoperable (sleep) condition and an operable (awake) condition to conserve power consumption and extend battery life.
