Abstract: A system may include an enclosure with an exterior wall that defines a cavity therein. The exterior wall may have an interior surface and an exterior surface. A projector support may be insertable into the cavity or may be formed as a single piece with the exterior wall such that the projector support supports a projector in a position and orientation in which the projector projects light at the interior surface from within the cavity. The exterior wall may have a thickness and material composition selected such that, in response to projection of light at the interior surface, an image is visible on the exterior surface.

Abstract: An event recorder playback system for a plurality of locomotives in a consist is described, including a processor configured to receive and save a first dataset and a second dataset associated with operation of a first locomotive and a second locomotive, respectively, in the consist. The processor may determine, using the processor, a point of synchronization of the first dataset and the second dataset with respect to time, and align the first dataset and the second dataset using the point of synchronization. The event recorder playback system may be further configured to output the first dataset and the second dataset on an output device. The output is aligned with respect to time.

Abstract: A storage clipboard has a quick-access weapon holder assembly wherein the storage clipboard has an exterior appearance that is the same as a conventional storage clipboard so as to not raise awareness of the existence of the weapon to a person viewing the container. The actuator is disposed in the bottom of a storage-style clipboard so that the user may actuate the weapon deployment with a finger of his hand holding the clipboard while grasping the weapon with the other hand. The clipboard may be configured to be carried by either hand of the user. When actuated, the weapon holder opens a door panel in the side of the clipboard to present the weapon in an accessible location.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes enabling a user of event recorder playback software to select a past time segment of recorded locomotive event data. The method includes presenting recorded video data recorded by one or more cameras on the locomotive during the past time segment, presenting recorded GPS map data indicative of the geographical position of the locomotive during the past time segment, and presenting recorded locomotive operational data recorded during the past time segment. The presentations of recorded video data, recorded GPS map data, and recorded locomotive operational data are synchronized based on a common attribute associated with all of the recorded data. Implementation of a select animation process to one or more of the presentations of recorded data results in the simultaneous implementation of the same select animation process to another of the presentations of recorded data.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate to slotted substrates. One exemplary method removes substrate material from a substrate to form a fluid-handling slot through the substrate. This particular method also mechanically conditions the substrate proximate the fluid-handling slot, at least in part, to remove debris created by the removing.

Abstract: Electrical apparatus in the form of a broadcast data receiver or set top box is provided including a housing for the location of one or more electrical components therein. The electrical components include a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD is separated from one or more further electrical components by partition means provided in the housing.

Abstract: An online game. More particularly, an online game in which virtual vehicles, particularly cars, may be selected, customized, and entered into races and other activities in an online community forum. In some embodiments, the online game may include a customization tutorial wherein virtual vehicles may be customized in a substantially reversible manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a toy, comprising of forming a human readable code on a section of the toy by laser etching material from said section.
