Abstract: The present invention features a covert surveillance system employing airborne delivery assets for obtaining photographic information. Exterior, high-resolution video surveillance of towns, military facilities, factories, hideouts and other areas of interest are made possible with real-time mode monitoring. The system comprises a compact surveillance assembly that may be embellished with a variety of camouflage schemes to mesh with the natural environment of deployment. The surveillance assembly is made from a sufficiently high-density material and is equipped with a penetrating nose cone configured for embedding into the earth's surface. The assembly comprises impact shock absorption means, camera means, transmitter/receiver means, a control unit and on-site power means. After being made airborne, the surveillance assemblies may be deployed to target sites by either remote guidance means (e.g.

Abstract: Magnetic gypsum or drywall is a concept that adds value and application to a standard gypsum drywall panel by insertion of a various sized flat, thin gage ferrous metal sheet into the interior face or substrate of the drywall during the drywall manufacturing process. The drywall-finished product would then become a platform to accept the attachment of a variety of magnets and magnetic objects to its finished surface for display and storage.

Abstract: A punch and die set is provided for use in a stamping press having a punch assembly and a die assembly reciprocated by a driving mechanism. The punch and die assemblies are aligned to a common center and are structured to slidably engage one another for positive guidance of the punch and die tools without the need for other guidance by shafts, bars or the like. One of the punch assembly and die assembly can be non-fixedly carried by the drive mechanism, allowing the guidance of the engaged punch and die assemblies to define the relative positions of the tools. This arrangement eliminates any stack-up of tolerances between the assemblies and substantially reduces misalignment during stamping, including any misalignment that may be introduced by the press driving mechanism.
