  • Publication number: 20240295235
    Abstract: An apparatus for frangibly supporting an object to a base includes a lower part comprising a base coupling portion and a lower engagement portion and an upper part comprising an object coupling portion and an upper engagement portion. The base coupling portion is coupled to the base for attaching the lower part to the base. The object coupling portion is coupled to the object for attaching the object to the upper part. The upper engagement portion is disengageably engaged with the lower engagement portion for decouplably coupling the upper part with the lower part. The engaging and the disengaging of the upper engagement portion with the lower engagement portion is based on an engaging action and a disengaging action applied to the upper part in relation to the lower part.

  • Publication number: 20240280881
    Abstract: Provided is a weatherproof enclosure for an electro-optic infrared camera core with male lens threads and exposed electronics. The enclosure includes a lens cover with female threads, a front and rear main body, a first and second gasket, a cable gland opening in the rear main body, and mounting holes. The female threads attach to the male threads to secure the lens cover to the front main body. The gaskets create a weatherproof seal, and the cable gland opening enables power and data cabling to pass to the exterior of the enclosure. The mounting holes permit attachment to a variety of surfaces. An alternative internal compression bracket can be used to secure a variety of OEM camera modules that all utilize the same bolt pattern. The enclosure provides superior protection from water intrusion and impact forces, permitting camera use in austere environments.

  • Publication number: 20220409759
    Abstract: A method of facilitating sanitizing interior spaces of an aircraft using a pre-conditioned air (PCA) system. The method comprises cutting an opening in a duct wall of a pre-conditioned air (PCA) supply duct of the PCA system. Further, the method comprises installing a device in the PCA supply duct around the opening, coupling an inlet opening of the device with a device outlet port of a sanitizing device after the installing, wherein a sanitizing agent generator of the sanitizing device generates a sanitizing agent for transferring the sanitizing agent to the inlet opening through the device outlet port. Further, the method comprises injecting the sanitizing agent into the PCA supply duct from an outlet opening of the device based on the transferring. Further, the sanitizing agent mixes with the PCA based on the injecting. Further, the sanitizing agent is supplied to the interior space along with the PCA.

  • Publication number: 20190005534
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating media assets. A method includes sending a first media asset to a plurality of subscribers of a first channel of a plurality of channels. The first media asset includes a first set of media elements. The method also includes analyzing aggregated performance data associated with the first set of media elements and with the plurality of subscribers. The method further includes generating, by a computer processing device, a second media asset comprising a second set of media elements based on the aggregated performance data. The first set of media elements differs from the second set of media elements. The method further includes sending the second media asset to the plurality of subscribers.

  • Publication number: 20010015203
    Abstract: A breathing apparatus is described, having a breathing circuit comprising a mouthpiece and one or more gas carrying conduits, a compressed gas source and a counterlung. The compressed gas source is in communication with the counterlung via the breathing circuit. The counterlung has an expansion assisting means and a contraction assisting means, and a control allows selective activation of the expansion assisting means and the contraction assisting means. The counterlung has primary and secondary chambers, and inflation of the secondary chamber causes inflation of the primary chamber. The expansion assisting means is a flow of compressed gas to inflate the secondary chamber.
