  • Patent number: 9631804
    Abstract: A light and fan assembly has a generally tubular housing that has a turbine fan located on one end, the fan discharging a stream of air therefrom, and a light located on the opposing end, the light discharging a light beam therefrom in opposite direction to the direction of the air stream. A clip clips the housing to an appropriate surface such as a hat brim. A monocular is attached to the housing. Alternately, the fan can be held within an assembly that is pivotally attached to a lower surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8807814
    Abstract: A light and fan assembly has a generally tubular housing that has a turbine fan located on one end the fan discharging a stream of air therefrom, and a light is located on the opposing end, the light discharging a light beam therefrom in opposite direction to the air stream. A clip clips the housing to an appropriate surface such as a hat brim. The fan can draw air from one of two intakes with one of the intakes allowing air to pass over a heat sink of the light to help cool the light assembly and warm the air stream or resistive heating elements can be provided in order to heat the air stream. A magnifying lens is attached, fixedly or pivotally and possibly rotatably, to the housing.

  • Patent number: 5698814
    Abstract: A penetrating bomb weapon comprising a long hollow cylinder constructed of high strength steel or similar material and including a pointed nose to aid in penetration of media such as concrete, soil, steel or a hardened surface. The cylinder contains an insensitive explosive that is separated into segments by shock attenuating materials so that one segment of the cylinder may detonate without detonating or destroying adjacent segments. The number of segments may be two or more depending on the complexity of the target to be attacked. Initiation of the main charge within each segment is achieved using explosive boosters positioned so that shocks transferred to adjacent segments, and the initiation train of these segments, is minimized. Separation of the segments is accomplished using explosive cutter charges which perforate and/or spall through the case wall of the penetrator bomb.
