Abstract: A combination holster for weapons having a front stock and a butt-stock, comprising a front stock holster having interior and exterior portions, the interior portion mimicking the contour of the front stock, and a butt-stock retraction element connected to the user and to the butt stock. The retention element may be a cord connected to a vest. The weapon is secured in a first position in which the front stock holster grips the front-stock, and the retraction element retains the butt-stock near the user. The weapon may be unsecured by removing the front stock from its holster and applying a drawing force to the retention element to pull the butt-stock away from the user. To return the weapon to a secure position, the user returns the front stock its holster and permits the butt-stock retention element retain the butt-stock near the user.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal layer interposed between a pair of substrates, said substrates being coupled to each other through an insulative sealing material at the peripheral portions thereof, one of said pair of substrates being a transparent front substrate through which viewing of the display device occurs, and a graphite containing matrix coating on an inside surface of the front substrate, said coating having a matrix of apertures therein, said coating being applied by application of a composition comprising in weight percent, about 1% to about 30% colloidal graphite, about 0.1% to about 20% binder material for the coating, and about 10% to about 98% of a fluid carrier, said applied coating having a thickness of less than about 20 microns.

Abstract: A net is adapted to wrap around the front legs of a horse to prevent flies and other insects from alighting thereon. The net can be an elongated rectangular panel of fiberglass netting attachable to the horse's legs by means of one or more strips of hook and loop material, such as VELCRO. The net can be secured just above the horse's knee joint and the remainder can hang down to a point just above the hoof. The net can be applied or removed easily and quickly, and once in position, the net should not inhibit the movement of the horse in any way.
