Abstract: A device for computer aided surgery, including: a body; an optical element coupled to the body; a fiducial coupled to the body; and a calibration element. The calibration element be a pointer tip or a divot, either individually or in combination.

Abstract: A system includes a transport container, a delivery management server, and a delivery vehicle. The transport container includes a secure space for holding an item. The delivery management server includes a delivery platform communication interface, a condition detection interface, a rules engine, and a transmission system. The delivery platform communication interface is configured to receive a delivery order for the transport container that includes instructions to defer a delivery operation until a specified condition is satisfied. The rules engine is configured to, responsive to determining that the specified condition is satisfied, generate a command to execute the delivery operation. The transmission system is for transmitting the command to a delivery vehicle. The delivery vehicle includes a vehicle communication interface and an electromechanical interface. The vehicle communication interface is configured to receive the command.

Abstract: A quick-release captive clamping pin that uses a ball-lock pin and an endcap assembly to provide a tooling assembly with both holding and clamping action with a quick-release function. The captive clamping pin may include an adjustable-length ball-lock pin inserted through the tool and workpiece, where the length adjustment is used to apply clamping force.

Abstract: A dock line system for securing a vehicle or vessel to a structure has a secondary release when a first coupling member cannot be released from a main body of the system. The secondary release is selectively attached to the main body. When the secondary release is utilized, a second coupling member is detached from the main body allowing a user control of the vehicle or vessel.

Abstract: A vehicle seating system in which a seat belt restraint assembly may be secured directly to the seat. The vehicle seating system includes generally a seat and a base assembly that supports the seat. The base assembly may be a suspension base assembly or a pedestal base assembly. The construction of the base assembly provides the vehicle seating system with sufficient strength so that the system satisfies load testing requirements and provides comfort to the occupant. The base assembly includes a stop operating at the forward portions of the base assembly to limit forward pivoting movement of the seat upon sudden deceleration. The suspension base assembly may also include dual thickness arms, internal tethers, and vertical supports at the rear of the assembly to strengthen the assembly. The pedestal base assembly may also include telescoped tubes to strengthen the assembly.
