  • Publication number: 20070039454
    Abstract: An assembly for indicating when a transient electronic event has occurred on a mobile platform is provided. The assembly includes a housing and a flash-producing device that communicates with the mobile platform and produces a flash approximately when the event occurs. The housing couples to the body of the mobile platform and contains the flash-producing device in such a manner that the flash is observable. Preferentially, the assembly also includes a faceplate that couples to the housing and maintains an aerodynamic profile associated with a surface of the body when the assembly is coupled to the mobile platform. In another preferred embodiment, the assembly is adapted for use with an inert JDAM weapon and the event is the fuze command of the weapon.

  • Publication number: 20060041275
    Abstract: For close to two years of a child's life, children need easy access to teething items. The problem with most teething apparatus on the market is that they are easily misplaced; they fall onto unsanitary surfaces and therefore need to be cleaned often. The present invention solves these problems by providing a simple and effective way for babies to have easy and consistent access to a teething apparatus. A teething strip, usually of non-toxic plastic, is attached by mechanical means (sewn, snapped or riveted) to the baby's clothing within reach of the baby's mouth. When and if the infant drops the teething element, the element does not fall to the floor or otherwise out of the infant's reach.
