Abstract: Vibrometric signatures of portions of a vehicle, such as a joint between two or more aspects of the vehicle, may be generated and used to make determinations regarding the integrity or suitability of the vehicle for one or more missions. Vibrometric signatures are generated based on imaging data captured with the vehicle subjected to excitation over a range of frequencies, and power levels of vibrations of the vehicle are calculated based on the images. Pixels corresponding to surfaces on either side of a joint are selected and vibrometric signatures calculated for such surfaces are compared to determine whether the joint adequately transfers vibrations, or whether the joint is sufficiently tight. Where the vibrometric signatures are sufficiently similar to one another, the joint may be presumed to be tight. Where the vibrometric signatures are not sufficiently similar to one another, the joint is presumed to require maintenance or inspection.

Abstract: A trampoline with hanging seat units that allows elastic ropes to be mounted easily, comprises a frame, leg tubes, a bouncing unit, hanging seat units and elastic rope rings. The bouncing unit is hung on the frame and comprises a piece of bouncing cloth and connection belts. The hanging seat units are connected with the connection belts and each comprises a body, a through groove penetrating through the body, a connection body, an extension section, and a clamping and abutting section extending towards the bouncing cloth. The body, the extension section and the clamping and abutting section of each hanging seat unit define a clamping space. Each connection belt penetrates through the corresponding through groove. The bouncing unit and hanging seat units are connected through the elastic rope rings. The ends of each elastic rope ring are arranged in the corresponding connection belt and clamping space in a sleeved mode.

Abstract: A retractable memory drive in accordance with the present invention comprises a top casing, a middle carrier, an electronic device such as a USB thumb drive, and a bottom casing. A positioning device on the middle carrier has a portion that protrudes outside the casing and operates like a button. The location of the positioning device where the button is located has two key attributes. First, there is a protrusion that acts as a lock with the casing. Second, the area below the button is not rigid and so it gives way when pressure is applied to the button. The top and bottom casings provide a casing structure which includes two detents. One detent is for locking the device with the connector in the extended position, and one detent for locking the device with the connector retracted in the in position. This allows for just one press of the extended portion of the positioning device to unlock it from its present position. When the device reaches its new position it will automatically lock.

Abstract: A bi-directional light signal separation device that separates light signals into the component incoming and outgoing light signals has a a female connector that is connected to a near end of a first fiber optic cable conveying the bi-directional light signal. A light signal separation device connected to the female connector to separate the bi-directional light signal into the individual incoming and outgoing light signals. A plurality of second type connectors connected to convey the individual incoming or outgoing light signals. The light signal separation device has a plurality of light filters and reflectors such that a light signal incoming to the second type connector is transmitted through the filter and conveyed to the female connector and such that the light signal incoming from the first connector and reflected by the light filter is reflected and conveyed to be outgoing on the second connector.
