  • Patent number: 9490153
    Abstract: A plurality of masks is attached to the underside of a mask frame. This attachment is made such that each mask can independently move relative to the mask frame in three directions. This relative movement allows each mask to adjust its position to align with respective alignment pins disposed on a working surface. In one embodiment, each mask is attached to the mask frame using fasteners, where the fasteners have a shaft with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole disposed on the mask. A bias element may be used to allow relative movement between the mask and the mask frame in the vertical direction. Each mask may also have kinematic features to mate with the respective alignment pins on the working surface.

  • Patent number: 8939502
    Abstract: Vehicle seats that reduce the potential for injury to occupants when the vehicle is subjected to a mine or similar explosive device. The seats are ceiling or wall mounted and include a trailing arm which allows for deflection while providing stability. The seat isolates the occupants from the chassis of the vehicle via a pneumatic or other shock absorber and/or a crushable element to provide protection from vertical and horizontal oriented blasts. These seats can also be combined with shock absorbing/isolating foot rests, appendage (leg) restrain systems and an occupant four-point harness to offer a completely integrated system. This integrated system reduces acceleration/deceleration related injuries, shock injuries to the lower legs, flailing injuries to the lower legs and internal collision injuries. Other options and alternatives are also described.

  • Publication number: 20090096572
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of personnel access control and more particularly, to deployable/stowable fabric-based barriers for controlling or restricting access of individuals to specific physical areas. This allows security personnel at a screening station, for example, to quickly react to an “intruder” who is bypassing the screening area by quickly and safely closing the passageway and/or walkways between a screening area and a sterile area. Recognizing that different facilities and different applications place more emphasis on some design requirements than others, three barrier systems were designed to increase overall suitability for different facilities: Drop Down BCBS, Pop Across BCBS, and Pop Up BCBC.

  • Publication number: 20060252461
    Abstract: The present invention provides a communication node associated with a wireless network to communicate with a mobile device over a wireless medium across a plurality of mobile communication regions. The communication node comprises an antenna arrangement including a first, a second and a third antenna, wherein the first antenna is primarily associated with a first service coverage area of a first mobile communication region of the plurality of mobile communication regions, the second antenna is primarily associated with a second service coverage area of the first mobile communication region, and the third antenna is primarily associated with a third service coverage area of the first mobile communication region for combining diversity from the first, second and third antennas to fully communicate information to and from at least one of the first, second and third service coverage areas and to partially communicate information to and from at least two of the first, second and third service coverage areas.

  • Publication number: 20050255888
    Abstract: A base station for a mobile telecommunications network employing diversity reception comprises a plurality of radios, each having a plurality of diversity paths. Instead of each of the radios receiving signals from diversity antennas in the same sector, each radio receives signals from different sectors. Thus, if one of the radios becomes inoperative; diversity reception is affected in a plurality of sectors rather than service being completely removed from any one sector.

  • Patent number: 6407798
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a theater having a first screen and a second screen movable relative to the first screen. The first and second screens are typically designed for different movie formats. The second screen is mounted to a frame in sections, and a rotating member is operable to move sections of the second screen away from the first screen. A projection system disposed in front of one of the screens is operable to project screen images alternatively on the first screen or on the second screen. A plurality of speakers are mountable to the frame to provide a sound system.
