Abstract: The system includes a portable data entry and storage device for gathering and storing data with a containing rack for the portable data device to be attached to an inside wall of a vehicle. The portable data device and the rack have mating connectors which are automatically connected when the portable data device is inserted into the rack to supply power from the vehicle power supply system to the portable data device.

Abstract: A selected part of the envelope of a fabricated electric lamp is made light-reflecting by spraying it with a coating composition that contains aluminum flakes of such minute size that they inherently arrange themselves in planar relationship and form a specular film which provides a mirror-like reflector surface as the composition dries. A protective coating of a suitable heat-resistant material, such as silicone plastic, is then sprayed over the reflective film and cured. The protective coating can also contain aluminum particles in order to fill voids that may be left in the thin specular film and to make the latter more opaque.
