  • Protecting personnel using spring-assisted, deployable ballistic shield
    Patent number: 11969877
    Abstract: A technique for facilitating deployment and stowing of a ballistic shield on a vehicle includes providing a central armored panel having a hinged connection to a base, which may be coupled to or integral with the vehicle. The hinged connection includes an axle and a set of torsion springs configured to exert a lifting torque on the central armored panel relative to the base, such that the central armored panel is movable about the hinged connection for assuming both an upright, deployed position and a laid-down, stowed position.

  • ASEPTIC FLUID COUPLINGS
    Publication number: 20240132828
    Abstract: Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems. For example, some embodiments described in this document are single-use, aseptic fluid coupling devices that can be coupled to create a sterile flow path therethrough. Some such aseptic couplings are genderless couplings such that two identical aseptic couplings can be coupled together and then latched to form a robust connection between the aseptic couplings.

  • VEHICLE COOLING USING EXTERNAL FLUID SOURCE
    Publication number: 20240083214
    Abstract: A technique for providing cooling in a firefighting vehicle leverages the availability of firefighting fluid for cooling the vehicle's components. By tapping into a conduit or manifold that receives firefighting fluid to be sprayed toward a fire, an amount of cooling fluid is drawn and directed through one or more liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers, for providing cooling of the vehicle's components.
