Abstract: The present invention is a method for operating a thermal imaging camera for selective temperature imaging, and a thermal imaging system having a selective temperature imaging mode. When first entering the selective temperature imaging mode of operation, the system and method automatically determine the hottest area in a scene and display it in a predetermined hue. The remainder of the scene is displayed in grayscale. The method and system allow further adjustment of the set point of the selective temperature imaging mode, and display portions of the scene as hot as or hotter than the set point value in gradient shades of the predetermined hue.

Abstract: A respirator hood is designed to fit over and around the head of a wearer and includes a substantially transparent lens received in a front opening of the hood. An inflatable neck cuff is positioned near a lower portion of the hood and substantially circumscribes an opening through which the wearer inserts his head, with the inflatable neck cuff being supplied by an air source and inflated so as to exert a sealing pressure against the neck of the wearer and to prevent the hood from rising up relative to the head of the wearer. The respirator hood also includes one or more overhead channels which define an air delivery path from the air source over the head of the wearer to the interior of the lens and downwardly across the face of the wearer.

Abstract: A document printer is provided comprising a printer housing, a user interface and an internal printer controller positioned within the printer housing. The internal printer controller is programmed to designate a document format according to a format command entered at the user interface. A data stream input port is in communication with the internal printer controller and is operative to receive a data stream. A document construction module is in communication with the internal printer controller. The document construction module enables the internal printer controller to (i) extract predetermined data fields from the data stream according to the designated document format and (ii) convert the extracted data fields to document data. A document data printing mechanism is responsive to the internal printer controller and is operative to print the document data in the designated document format.

Abstract: A document dispensing system comprising an operational program data transfer device and a document dispenser having a document variables data input terminal, a document printer, a digital data input port coupled to the operational program data transfer device, an operational program storage device, a reprogram storage device, and a digital controller programmed to store new operational program data in the operational program storage device and to control the document printer in accordance with the document variables data and the new operational program data. A replacement document dispenser operational program is downloaded from the data transfer device to the operational program data storage device via the digital data input port.

Abstract: A document dispensing system wherein any or all security levels in a document dispensing system are accessible upon issuance of a security controller override command so as to permit operation of the dispenser in a particular security mode without regard to whether a corresponding security passcode has been entered on the dispenser keyboard or otherwise.

Abstract: A document dispenser incorporating multiple security levels of operation wherein dispenser operation in the operator mode is permitted when a valid operator passcode is entered at a passcode entry device, and wherein operation in the executive mode is permitted when the presence of a valid transportable security key is detected by a security key receiver.

Abstract: Safety spectacles (10) comprising a one piece flanged and curved front face piece (12) adapted to wrap around the forehead to the wearers temples. The face piece (12) is provided with a nose piece (14), a substantially distortion free spherical viewing and eye shield front wall portion (16) of varying thickness, an upper protective flange (18) and opposite side portions (20) with upper and lower flange portions (22) (24) including pivot pin receiving apertures therein pivotally hinged to temple bars (30). Each temple bar is provided with upper and lower pivot pins (32) projecting outwardly from upper and lower extensions of flanges (36) (38) extending inwardly from a relatively wide forward portion of the side wall (40) with or without vents or louvers (L).

Abstract: A safety cap has an energy absorbing suspension including crown straps for supporting engagement with the crown of a wearer's head connected to elastically deformable, rupturable and controlled plastically deformable portions of connecting means attached to anchor means in the shell of the cap. The connecting means have end portions adapted to be attached to and wedgingly engage the anchor means. The shock or impact of a blow against the shell suspended on the resisting wearer's head is partially absorbed initially by a wedging action which continues until the end portions are fully seated relative to the anchor means. Further, loading causes the crown straps to pull against, deform and bend energy absorbing portions of the connecting means into adjoining apertures of predetermined size and shape. Finally, at a predetermined force, the bending moments at opposite ends of the energy absorbing portions exceed the tensile yield strength of the material and causes the portions to rupture.

Abstract: A multi-dial, manually operable indicator employing color-coded, alphabetical and numerical indicia which are indicative of railway or road vehicle destinations, regardless of whether they may be local or outbound, major or minor vehicle defects requiring repair, other varied information requiring matching of indicia for proper vehicle selection, and other indicia affording useful information to the driver of the associated vehicle or highway or railway personnel. A novel clutch mechanism which is effective under the control of a single knob affords selective dial rotation while other manually operable knobs effect pointer operations indicative of the condition of special vehicle equipment such as refrigeration apparatus or the like.
