Abstract: Armored critical incident vehicles and methods of use are disclosed. In an aspect, an armored critical incident vehicle useful for protecting and deploying first responders (e.g., SWAT team members) comprises a tracked multi-terrain loader having an enclosed, armored cab and vehicle loader arms and an armored deployment platform attaching to the tracked multi-terrain loaded at the vehicle loader arms. The armored deployment platform has an armored vertical face and an angled deflection plate to provide protection from ballistics from the front and from above.

Abstract: A method for temporarily adhering an image to a surface is shown utilizing liquid soluble substrates that have printed images of liquid insoluble ink. The liquid soluble substrate is positioned on a surface, such as a billboard, sidewalk, parking lot, telephone pole, skin, clothing, etc., and a liquid, typically water, is applied to the liquid soluble substrate and/or to the surface in such a quantity, and at such a temperature, and at such a pressure and velocity so as to be absorbed by the liquid soluble substrate in a sponge-like fashion. As the substrate dries, it takes on the shape of the surface, conforming and adhering to the surface through a mechanical interlock therewith. Various coatings may be applied to extend the longevity of the substrate. The liquid soluble substrate may be removed from the surface by applying a sufficient quantity of liquid at a sufficient temperature, pressure and velocity.
