Abstract: An augmented computer keyboard for inputting text into a computer is provided, where each character of the text being input is displayed on a computer screen in real time. The computer keyboard preferably has a QWERTY key layout, and has at least two additional keys which have selection functionality to select one or another of suggested text strings appearing in selected display fields on the computer screen. There is one display field for each provided additional key. The suggested text strings are presented in the respective selected display fields dynamically and in real time as each keystroke is made, and are chosen using predictive text software running on the computer. In a preferred embodiment, the additional keys are physically placed so as to be near the space bar on the computer keyboard.

Abstract: Multiple report stun grenades have an elongated body defining a body axis and having a sidewall and opposed top and bottom end faces, the body including a plurality of delay chambers each containing a different delay feature, the body having a plurality of flash charge chambers each containing a quantity of flash charge material, the body defining a plurality of ignition passages, each ignition passage communicating from a respective flash charge chamber to an associated delay chamber, each flash charge chamber having at least one exhaust aperture, and each of the exhaust apertures penetrating at least one of the top and bottom end faces. Each of the flash charge chambers may have a first exhaust aperture penetrating the top end face, and a second exhaust aperture penetrating the bottom end face. Each of the flash charge chambers may be an elongated bore parallel to the body axis.

Abstract: A universal tube launched munitions system has a launcher base having an array of a plurality of initiator stations, first and second cassettes each having a mounting facility operable for releasable connection to the launcher base, each of the cassettes having a plurality of barrels, the barrels of the first cassette been axially registered with the first quantity of the initiator stations, and the barrels of the second cassette been axially registered with a different second quantity of the initiator stations. The barrels of the first cassette may be axially registered with all of the initiator stations. The barrels of the second cassette may be axially registered with a subset of the initiator stations the barrels of the first cassette are axially registered with. The barrels of the first cassette may have a different diameter than the barrels of the second cassette.
