Abstract: A display device adapted to be releasably mounted on a sun visor of a vehicle. The device includes a forwardly facing camera and a computer device such as a “tablet” including a display screen. The display screen is supported by the sun visor and is viewable by the driver or passenger of the vehicle. The field of vision obstructed by the visor when the visor is deployed is displayed on the display screen so that the entire field of vision is available to the driver.

Abstract: A system of building construction comprises prefabricated modules with wall sections having finished paneling on both faces, inner foam panels and spacers made from insulating foam, and a steel-reinforced concrete core. The modules come complete with outer and inner finished panels, as well as inner insulating foam so that no on-site mounting of the panels to the wall module is required. The foam panels and facing panels are attached together with a plurality of coilies or rigid spacers, held together with simple screws to create a complete wall system. Concrete is subsequently poured into the module cores to create a monolithic structure. The Inner-wall and outer wall is already in place and needs only to be decorated as desired. All elements stay in place and no forms or heavy external bracing are needed.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for installing fire-proof material quickly and easily. The fire-proof material, once installed, inhibits the spread of igniting material across an annular space surrounding an object. A device according to the invention includes a blanket made of a fire-resistant material. In a preferred embodiment, this material is silica fabric. A plurality of ribs are attached at spaced-apart locations along the length of the blanket, each rib extending substantially the width of the blanket. Each rib, in a first condition, permits one side of the blanket to be brought into contact with the object, and in a second condition, holds the blanket in place around the object. The ribs are preferably snap strips that have two stable orientations: an extended stable orientation, which corresponds to the first condition, and a curled stable orientation, which corresponds to the second condition.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for mounting a plurality of cables adjacent a wall more easily and more securely. The apparatus includes an arm adapted at one end for engaging a receptacle in a stanchion, which is securely attached to the wall. Mounted on the arm is a restraint, which has a plurality of uprights, and which holds and separates the cables. The restraint is adapted at one end for engaging the stanchion's receptacle so that, along with the engaging end of the arm, it locks the restraint and the arm in the receptacle. Each of the restraint's uprights has at least one slot, through which a capture bar is inserted so as to hold each cable between a pair of uprights. The capture bar preferably includes a locking mechanism for holding it in place in the slots.
