Abstract: An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device comprises a latch plate and a pedestal having a quick-release interface. The latch plate is configured to selectively couple to the quick-release interface. A latch bolt is disposed within the pedestal. The latch bolt locks the latch plate relative to the quick-release interface. A plurality of retaining arms is configured to receive and retain an article of merchandise. The retaining arms cannot be disengaged from the article of merchandise while the latch plate is locked relative to the quick-release interface. A solenoid is housed within the pedestal and operationally connected to the latch bolt. The solenoid is configured to retract the latch bolt into a position in which the latch bolt disengages the latch plate, thereby releasing the latch plate from the quick-release interface.

Abstract: A device and method for the performing of fireground training exercises is presented. The device includes a sled having a plurality of runners. Further included is a frame in communication with the sled. The frame is coupled to the sled and defines a structure. A number of simulation exercises are facilitated via the device, such as a ceiling breach simulation device. The ceiling breach simulation device is configured to include a pole having a first end and a second end. The first end pivots about a mount in communication with the sled so as to maintain the point of rotation below the hands of the trainee. In one embodiment the ceiling breach simulation device permits both rotational motion as well as vertical translation of the pole.

Abstract: A system for dispensing feed to a feed bunk can include a dispensing unit and a control module. The dispensing unit can include a feed container to receive feed, and one or more dispensing devices operatively coupled to the feed container. The control module can be in communication with the dispensing unit and configured to receive and store sequence data from a central computer system, the sequence data comprising a delivery sequence according to which one or more feed bunks are to be filled, and one or more system inputs. The control module is configured to disable the dispensing unit if any system input does not correspond to the sequence data.

Abstract: A combination lavatory and galley arrangement for aircraft includes a lavatory portion having adjacent inboard and outboard lavatories, and a galley portion, and can be located aft of aft aircraft aft doors, and can at least partially rearwardly extend into the aircraft's aft pressure dome. The inboard and outboard lavatories can be separated by a movable wall or partition to provide access for persons with restricted mobility, and can be provided in a modular housing to facilitate retrofit assembly within an aircraft. The movable wall can be an articulating movable lavatory partition movable between a first, linearly extended configuration and a second, folded configuration in a stowed position to provide entry for persons with restricted mobility.

Abstract: A retractable flight attendant chair includes an anchor box, a sled coupled to the anchor box for horizontal translation of the retractable chair into and out of the stowage compartment, and a chair mounted on the sled. The chair includes an expanding/folding backrest and seat portion that allows the chair to be stowed in a small envelope compartment when not in use.

Abstract: A foiled article and methods of making the foiled article. The foiled article includes a substrate with one or more foiled areas on one or both surfaces of the substrate. The foiled areas are formed by applying a predetermined pattern of toner or ink to the substrate, and bonding a foil material to the patterned areas by the application of heat. The foiled areas can then be printed to create a multi-colored foil, images, or text thereon. The foiled areas can be simultaneously printed with the non-foiled areas. The digital patterning of the toner or ink, as well as the optional digital printing of the foiled areas allow for variable images without the expenditure for stamping dies and printing plates, such that a short-run product can be produced at lower cost with faster turn around times than traditional foiling processes.

Abstract: A gun shooting rest device for added stability of the firearm during sighting and discharge of the firearm. The gun shooting rest device includes a base assembly for selectively engaging a support. A stanchion member is coupled to the base assembly whereby the stanchion member extends away from the base assembly. A support assembly is coupled to the stanchion member whereby the support assembly is positioned a distance from the base assembly. The support assembly is for selectively supporting the firearm to facilitate sighting of the firearm and steadying the firearm during discharge of the firearm.

Abstract: An system for reducing a fracture in an vertebral body is disclosed herein. The system may include incremental implant elements and a delivery device. The incremental implant elements are configured for percutaneous delivery into, and accumulation within, a volume of the vertebral body. The delivery device is configured to percutaneously deliver the incremental implant elements into the volume of the vertebra body in an incremental fashion. As the incremental implant elements are incrementally delivered into the volume of the vertebra body, the accumulation of the incremental members in the volume of the vertebra body places the fracture in the vertebra body in a reduced state.
