Abstract: The invention provides a reconfigurable patient support pallet system for transporting patients on litters. The patient support pallet system includes a pallet mounted to the floor of a vehicle. The pallet has a plurality of track rails and attachment points for attaching a litter stanchion set, capable of holding a patient in a litter, and/or for attaching a seat to the surface of the pallet. The pallet also includes a plurality of pallet lips and cargo rings on the periphery which provide locations to attach one or more pallet extensions, pallet spacers and/or pallet ramps to increase the usable surface area of a pallet, as well as facilitate safe passage on, off and between pallets by reducing tripping hazards inherent in cargo aircraft.

Abstract: A mounting assembly structured to removably and collectively support a plurality of microphones in a predetermined, organized array, at a location wherein sound pick-up and/or amplification is required. The mounting assembly includes a base having an attachment assembly for removably and/or adjustably securing the base to anyone of a plurality of different support structures, wherein the base further includes a gripping assembly comprising a plurality of apertures each having a sufficient circumferential dimension to supportingly engage anyone of a plurality of differently configured microphones. At least some of the plurality of apertures comprising a closed circumferential configuration wherein others of the plurality of apertures comprise a substantially open circumferential configuration, which is at least partially defined by an access opening disposed in communicating relation with a peripheral edge of the base and the interior of a corresponding one of said open apertures.
