Patent number: 10239637Abstract: The use of shielded material in a deployable vehicle arresting and containment device that, when used for the interception of an unmanned vehicle, effectively achieves RF isolation of that vehicle, breaking all external communications with that vehicle. This apparatus, which may have internal and external antennas, could enable a variety of advanced effects such as localized GPS and command and control link spoofing and jamming as well as providing a vehicle for signal intercept and intelligence solutions. Additionally, due to the shielding properties of the arresting and containment device, semi-destructive means such as localized EMPs could be used to damage the encapsulated unmanned vehicle electronics.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Jonathan Ashdown, Paul Sikora, Brendon Poland

Patent number: 10208503Abstract: Erectable shelter frame structures including a plurality of rib assemblies. Preferably, each rib assembly has a receptacle for receiving a respective end of a purlin arrangement, the other end of which is attached to a receptacle of a subsequent rib assembly. The joints are formed by toggle clamps that assist in facilitating the ease by which the shelter structure can be assembled or disassembled. Methods of construction and disassembly of the shelter frame structure are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: ShelterLogic Corp.Inventors: George LeMoine, Joseph Crute

Patent number: 10145141Abstract: A collapsible canopy has a collapsible frame and a canopy cover supported by the collapsible frame. In some configurations, the frame includes telescopic legs having three or more stages. An automatic lock release is carried by one of the legs and automatically releases a lock between two other of the legs. A relative inner leg can include a cap having a resilient portion that contacts an inner surface of a relative outer leg to increase a lateral rigidity of the leg assembly. At least one of the eave cross members can have an end portion having an abutting extension that contacts an adjacent cross member to limit lateral deflection of the eave. The abutting extension can be positioned between eave cross members that incorporate a bracket for supporting a center support that extends from the eave toward a center or interior of the canopy.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: ShelterLogic Corp.Inventor: Jack B. Lovley, II

Patent number: 10077574Abstract: A tent system with utility rails is described. The hard shell tent system may include a first shell member, second shell member, utility rails, and an articulating mechanism. The first shell member may be adapted to mount to a roof of a vehicle. The second shell member may be adapted to mate with the first shell member and define an interior cavity when the tent system is in a closed position. The utility rails may be coupled to the second shell member and adapted to support items on top of the second shell member. The articulating mechanism may couple the first shell member to the second shell member and may transfer a weight of the second shell member and the utility rails to a roof of the vehicle when the tent system is in the open position.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Tepui Outdoors, Inc.Inventor: Evan Michael Currid

Patent number: 10066395Abstract: A post, beam and arched member modular building is shown. The modular building may be formed into any number of different configurations and different structures. The system relies upon a box shape formed from four vertical members, with an arched member extending between each of the adjacent vertical members. The rear vertical members being higher than the front vertical members, with angled members, or rafters extending from the rear vertical members (or a cross-member at the same height thereof) to the front vertical members (or the corresponding arch). In the configuration shown, the angled members or rafters are co-planar. The structure has substantial symmetry and aesthetic design.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Inventor: Aleksandar Stevanov

Patent number: 10066416Abstract: A cover mechanism comprises a support frame with base supports and a multi-part expandable cover engaged with the base supports by grappling members or other means. The expandable cover may have a pliable exterior cover and a set of integral ribs, the expandable cover being foldable when not deployed and being expandable to form a self-supporting structure when deployed. The base supports may provide a sliding track for the grappling members to facilitate expansion of the cover. The base supports may be adapted to rest on the ground or buoyant so that the cover can be used with watercraft. The expandable cover may be deployed by pivoting it from a folded position to an upright position, sliding the cover along the base support tracks, and pivoting the cover from the front of the base supports downwards, forming an enclosure thereby.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: I/O Controls CorporationInventor: Jeffrey Ying
