Abstract: A chemical/biological vehicle survivability barrier (CVSB) has an inflatable air beam shelter (IABS), also referred to as a tunnel-like enclosure, for inserting and coupling to the interior of a vehicle. The CVSB further has at least one air handling and power unit (AHPU) coupled to an exterior fitting of the IABS. The AHPU withdraws potentially contaminated air from inside the tunnel-like enclosure, filtrates the air by removing contaminants from the air withdrawn, and returns the filtrated air back into the tunnel-like enclosure.

Abstract: The present disclosure is an autonomous robotic cargo system for moving and accurately positioning cargo inside an aircraft or at any other designated location in an austere environment. The system has a chassis coupled to one or more tracks for moving the chassis from a first location to a second location. The chassis is also coupled to one or more forks for loading cargo and unloading the cargo. In addition, the chassis has a laser scanner positioned on the chassis to capture data indicative of the chassis' environment. The system further has a control processor that pre-generates a preliminary pathway for the chassis to travel from the first location to the second location based upon laser scanner data received from the laser scanner. The control processor also controls the one or more forks to pick up cargo and controls the one or more tracks to move the cargo from the first location to the second location.

Abstract: A decontamination method for decontaminating an object of the present disclosure has steps including initiating spray in a first direction through one or more nozzles of a spray arm rotationally coupled to a control box, where the control box is in a first position and rotationally coupled to a leg of a gantry that is movably coupled to a track and rotating the control box to a second position based on profile data of the object.

Abstract: A decontamination system for decontaminating an object of the present disclosure has a gantry moveably coupled to a track, and the gantry is situated adjacent the object. The gantry has at least one control box rotationally coupled to a first leg and at least one spray arm comprising a nozzle for spraying fluid that is rotationally coupled to the control box. Additionally, the decontamination system has logic configured for initiating spraying through the one or more nozzles in a first direction when the control box is in a first position, the logic further configured to rotate the control box to a second position based on profile data of the object.

Abstract: The invention is a detection and prevention system to detect and prevent fluid leaks in a property that may cause damage to the property. The sources of the leaks may include, for example, toilets, hot water heater, sinks, washing machines, water makers and broken pipes or other sources of fluid leaks. The inventive may include one or more sender units that may be positioned at various locations on a property. The sender units may have a fluid sensor (for detecting a fluid leak) and a transmitter (for communicating with a base unit). The base unit may receive signals from the transmitter when the fluid sensors detect a fluid. The base unit may then communicate with a main shut off valve to restrict the flow of fluids onto the property.

Abstract: The invention is an improved reflow tool for performing a reflow process on a wafer. An input robot may be used to transport wafers from an input carrier to an oven where a reflow process is performed. After processing the wafers in the oven, the wafers are transported to a storage carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the storage carrier includes a plurality of left and right slats that use chamfer tabs and centering tabs to precisely position the wafer as the wafer is loaded into the storage carrier. The storage carrier may be part of a buffer indexer that also includes an actuator for vertically positioning the storage carrier. An output robot may be used to sequentially remove the wafers from the storage carrier and to place the wafers in an output carrier. In another preferred embodiment, the power from a main power supply to the reflow tool is monitored and an uninterruptible power supply is used to power the oven and buffer indexer if power is lost.

Abstract: The invention is a multiple size workpiece positioning device for the precise positioning or centering of workpieces, such as semiconductor wafers, in a processing station. The inventive includes a plurality of ring bars that may be pivoted on one end. The distal end of the ring bars form a circular shape that may decrease or increase in diameter as the ring bars are pivoted. This movement may be used to position or center the workpiece. A single combination pin or two pins of different heights may be mounted on the distal end of the ring bars. A combination pin or a rest pin and an alignment pin may be used to support the bottom of the workpiece to provide a contact point for an urging force on the edge of the workpiece.

Abstract: An electric violin includes a body having a top, bottom and a ribcage situated between the top and bottom. A neck is attached to the body and includes an unfretted fingerboard. A bridge is attached to the body and strings extend from the distal end of the neck over the bridge and are attached to the body. The body includes a narrow portion adjacent the neck enabling easy access to the upper portion of the fingerboard. The fingerboard portion of the neck extends over the body a fixed distance. The underside of the neck includes a projection which defines a first registration point normally associated with the fourth finger position of a violin. The neck also includes a second projection located on the underside of the neck that defines a second registration point for a predetermined fingerboard position, preferably the eighth finger position corresponding to a one octave higher position on the strings.
