  • Publication number: 20140332168
    Abstract: An automated shutter control is provided for a shutter having a plurality of slats which are pivoted in unison. The automated shutter control comprises a motor and a slat interface having a body portion and a contact portion. The contact portion has a contour configured to register with and abut against at least a portion of a surface of one of the slats of the shutter. The body portion has a leading end for contacting a first adjacent slat and pivotally rotating it when moving in a first direction and a trailing end for contacting a second adjacent slat and pivotally rotating it when moving in a second direction. A moving assembly is moved by the motor and connects to the slat interface so as to move the slat interface between a first and a second position.

  • Patent number: 8308482
    Abstract: A personal under fire trainer includes a harness holding a wireless receiver and plural electrode leads. The harness can be donned by a trainee and the leads connected to electrodes attached to the trainee's body. A trainer can operate a remote transmitter to send a signal to the receiver, activating one or more electrodes which contract the trainee's muscles, forcing the trainee to react under simulated gun fight conditions while receiving simulated gunshot wounds.
