Abstract: A table assembly comprising a top member forming a substantially flat top surface circumscribed by an outer edge and at least a first leg support member supporting the top member in a substantially horizontal position, a table dock secured to the top member and forming an elongated channel having a dock length dimension and at least a first display panel circumscribed by a panel edge and having at least one straight edge having a panel length dimension, the dock length dimension less than panel length dimension, wherein at least a portion of the straight edge of the panel is receivable within the dock channel with the panel extending out the open first and second ends of the channel to support the panel in a substantially upright orientation with at least a portion of the display panel extending to a height above the flat top surface.

Abstract: An apparatus that facilitates the manual sorting of objects is disclosed. The apparatus includes a display surface having a surface that can be selectively illuminated and that is adapted for receiving the objects. An identification reader reads identification information stored on the objects. A controller causes an area on the display surface corresponding to one of the objects to be illuminated based on the identification information and indicates a location to which the illuminated object is to be moved. In one aspect of the invention, the display surface includes an area adapted for positioning a receiver for the objects. The display surface provides an indication of a position in the receiver at which the one of the objects is to be placed.

Abstract: A holster system that comprises a holster and an accessory configured to be fixed to a mounting rail of a handgun. The holster has a holster body with a pair of opposing wall portions defining a cavity. Each wall portion has an inwardly projecting rib dividing the cavity into an upper first cavity portion and a lower second cavity portion. The first cavity portion is dimensioned to receive various handgun makes and models in a spaced relationship from three sides thereof. The second cavity portion is configured to receive the accessory so that a conforming engagement is formed between the accessory and the holster body. A stop surface of the holster body engages a forward facing surface of the accessory upon insertion of the handgun with accessory into the holster body thereby providing a seating position of the handgun and accessory in the holster body. A retention mechanism of the system has a blocking portion movable between a blocking position and a non-blocking position.

Abstract: A method for operating a data processing system to detect the presence of an event in a data stream includes an ordered sequence of digital values, xi, for i=1 to Nd is disclosed. The method includes causing the data processing system to determine a base value for a statistical parameter of the data digital values within a training window. Then for each xi in a region of interest in the ordered sequence of digital values, the data processing system determines a sliding value for the statistical parameter corresponding to that xi by measuring the statistical parameter of the xi within a sliding window containing the xi and which is different for each xi. The data processing system compares the sliding value to the base value for each xi in the region of interest to determine if the xi is part of an event.

Abstract: A holster for a handgun, having at least some of an at least partial cavity; a lever having a thumb button portion and an engagement portion, wherein the lever includes a locking projection extending from at least a portion of the engagement portion, wherein the lever is pivotally attached or coupled to at least a portion of the holster, approximately between the thumb button portion and the engagement portion; and a lockout element, wherein at least a portion of the lockout element is positionable to block movement of the lever to keep the lever from being pivoted to a disengaged position.

Abstract: A stock for a firearm. In some embodiments, the stock is configured for bi-directional folding to either side of a receiver of the firearm. In some embodiments, the stock is configured for length adjustment. A biasing element is provided for the length adjustment that biases a proximal (butt) subassembly of the stock against the shoulder of the user. The user can adjust the length of the stock by moving his or her shoulder fore and aft against the butt of the stock. The bi-directional folding and the shoulder length adjustment aspects may be incorporated into a single embodiment.
