Abstract: A system and method are provided for employing man-portable unitary platform system segments, particularly as components of integrated castle defense systems. A lightweight modular and mobile system of integrated platform segments is provided to facilitate users integrating flexible platform configurations secured to existing wall structures to support myriad user tasks. Individual platform system segments can be autonomously employed, or can be linked together after being quickly attached to a wall, a structure, or another supporting surface by two users in minimal time. In law enforcement, security, military and/or paramilitary employment scenarios, individual platform system segments are emplaced, and linked together, to provide a unitary defensible position in a matter of minutes.

Abstract: A lens frame locking mechanism comprises a temple and a link member. The temple is pivotally coupled to a periphery of the lens frame, for example at a first pivot attachment. The link member is pivotally coupled to the temple and to the periphery of the lens frame, for example at second and third pivot attachments. The temple is configured to pivot with respect to the lens frame about the first pivot attachment, and the link member pivots into a locking position defined with respect to the periphery of the lens frame.

Abstract: A multi-spectrum emitting device is provided including one or more emitters configured to emit in a first spectrum and a second spectrum. Devices include a switching mechanism with at least two switching elements. The switching mechanism may be configured to change an emitted light from a first spectrum to a second spectrum, and to change a blink pattern of emitted light. The first spectrum may be a non-visible light spectrum and the second spectrum may be a visible light spectrum. Devices may also include a unitary housing extending substantially upward and inward from a base of the device, the housing configured to emit light therethrough and to receive a power source for the device therein.

Abstract: A low profile lighting apparatus is characterized by a battery housing, a rail-engaging plate connected to the housing by a pair of arms, and a recessed activating push-button located between the arms and adjacent the rail-engaging plate. A flexible resilient tab, also recessed between the arms, secures the apparatus to a rail. A lock-out switch is built into a plug for closing an end of the housing. The plug has three discrete rotational positions, one for attachment, a second for activation of an illumination source, and a third for preventing accidental activation of the illumination source by requiring simultaneous axial pressure and rotation. Instead of the plug, a hinged door having a sliding latch part can be utilized. The sliding latch part includes a pair of resilient legs that cooperate with surfaces inside the door to urge the latch part toward a latching condition.

Abstract: A historical analysis is performed within peer groups within a population such as associates of business or organization in regard to a plurality of factors having a possible bearing on satisfaction of individual members of the population in regard to the environment of the population to determine members of the population that may be likely candidates to be responsive to encouragement and/or incentives toward improved performance. The historical analysis is preferably supplemented by repeating of the scoring aspect of the historical analysis and comparison of current scores with previous scores to provide substantially real-time information and to allow detection of trends. The results of the historical analysis and/or the prospective analysis are overlaid with results of social network analysis within the population to project a spread of influences within the population.

Abstract: A multi-spectrum emitting device including one or more emitters configured to emit in a first non-visible light spectrum and a second visible light spectrum, and a switching mechanism with at least two switching elements. The switching mechanism is configured to require simultaneous activation of the at least two switching elements in order to change emissions from the first spectrum to the second spectrum. A tactile feedback mechanism is included to provide different tactile feedback for different emission modes of the device.
