  • Patent number: 9752721
    Abstract: A mounting system having a base plate, multiple mounting apertures adapted to releasably hold a man-portable equipment item, and non-invasive fasteners for attaching to a structure without damaging the structure. The non-invasive fasteners can include adhesive bonded fasteners which couple to a structure without damaging the structure and permit attachment and removal of the mounting system. The base plate and mounting apertures are designed to minimize mounting footprint and orient the man-portable equipment item in relation to a user structure or aperture such as a turret, egress point, portal, or other structure which requires a user to pass through a structure and have immediate access to the man-portable equipment item.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9535562
    Abstract: A device or computer program that takes the data and/or video from separate sensory devices and then combines this information for display in a standardized, but user configurable Graphical User Interface. Since each input device is paired with a device driver to properly parse the data for the input device, new devices may be added by writing new device drivers. The GUI has a standard set of elements that the individual user can modify to suit their personal preferences and needs. Since the Graphical User Interface is standardized, the user knows where to look for the data that they need no matter which sensory device is attached.
