Abstract: Embodiments of a virtual window system and method include a plurality of camera and display modules mounted to window openings on a heavy vehicle such as an armored military vehicle. The modules communicate with a base unit which provides electrical power to the assemblies. Each module includes a frame which releasably fixes its module to the vehicle window opening. Each module further includes a display monitor, which may be removed from the vehicle for repair or replacement purposes.

Abstract: Embodiments of a secure module recorder system and method for securing recording and storing of information is provided. The system may include at least one secure module and a docking station having at least one receptacle for holding one of the secure modules. The secure module may include a tamper-resistant case, an input port for receiving an analog signal, a recording circuit for converting the analog signal into digitally formatted data, a memory device for storing the digitally formatted data, a playback circuit for reading the digitally formatted data from the memory device and converting the digitally formatted data into an analog playback signal, and an output port for transmitting the analog playback signal. The docking station may further include a first interface for receiving the analog signal from an external device and a second interface disposed within the receptacle for interfacing with the input port of the secure module.

Abstract: A sheet material accumulating device includes a sheet transporting section which is arranged to receiver sheets from a sheet feeding station at a feeding speed and to transport the received sheets to a slanted guide plate of an accumulating section, where the sheet transporting section releases the sheets to thereby accumulate the sheets on the guide plate. The transport speed and direction of the transporting section is controlled so that the sheet reaches the guide plate at a desired position and speed and is released from the transporting section by moving the sheet transporting section away from the guide plate, toward the sheet feeding station.

Abstract: A sheet material feeding apparatus has a circulating support board for carrying sheets from a sheet receiving station to a sheet delivering station. The apparatus consists of at least one support board and a first inclined board at the receiving station for supporting the sheets as tilted from the vertical in the order of supply with the first supplied sheet at the bottom, a second inclined board at the delivering station for supporting the sheets as tilted in the opposite direction from the vertical with the order of the sheets being upside down from that at the receiving station, and structure for moving the support board so as to follow a circulatory path starting from and returning to the receiving station via the delivering station. The sheets can be delivered one by one in the order of supply to the receiving station with no rubbing and resultant scratching of the surfaces of the sheets.
