20110023698 | ROTATABLE TARGETING ASSEMBLY HAVING WEAPONS INTEGRATED DIRECTION AND RATE CONTROL - A weapons system includes a frame having an axis. A targeting assembly is arranged and operational to move rotationally the frame axis. The targeting assembly includes a weapon. A user interface is attached to the weapon and is operable actuate movement of the targeting assembly about the axis. | 02-03-2011 |
20110023770 | INTELLIGENT BOAT LIFT SYSTEM - System and method of controlling a platform adapted for movement relative to a boat. At least one criterion is selected to use in determining a response to movement of the platform or the boat. A position of the platform relative to the boat is identified. It is detected that the platform or boat. A response is determined in response to movement of the platform or boat. The response is initiated. | 02-03-2011 |
20110026091 | ELECTRICALLY ACTIVATABLE LIGHT BLOCKING COVER FOR VEHICLE MIRRORS - A cover for use in connection with a mirror of a vehicle is provided. The cover is provided with a lens having an electrically activatable material. The lens is positioned in front of the vehicle mirror. The electrically activatable material prevents the reflectivity of visible light off the mirror of the vehicle when the electrically activatable material is set to a light inhibiting state. A coupling device electrically couples the electrically activatable material to an electrical power source. An actuation device is adapted to set the electrically activatable material of the lens to the light inhibiting state in response to user operation such that the lens prevents the reflectivity of visible light off the mirror to reduce the observability of the vehicle mirror. | 02-03-2011 |
20110026092 | LIGHT BLOCKING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE MIRROR ASSEMBLY - A mirror assembly is provided having a mirror for use in connection with a vehicle, such as a military combat vehicle. An electrically activatable material is positioned at the mirror of the vehicle. The electrically activatable material prevents the reflectivity of visible light off the mirror when the electrically activatable material is switched to a light-blocking state. A coupling device electrically couples the electrically activatable material to an electrical power source. An actuation device is adapted to switch the electrically activatable material of the vehicle mirror assembly to the light-blocking state in response to user operation such that the electrically activatable material prevents the reflectivity of visible light off the vehicle mirror to reduce the observability of the vehicle mirror. | 02-03-2011 |
20110029169 | CONTROLLER AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING A PERSONAL ELECTRIC MOTORIZED VEHICLE BASED ON A WEIGHT OF AN OPERATOR - A personal electric motorized vehicle, a controller for controlling operation of the vehicle, and methods of controlling the vehicle are provided. The vehicle may include a weight determination device for determining a weight of an operator and a controller for controlling operation of the vehicle based on the weight of the operator. A method of controlling the vehicle may include determining a weight of an operator, communicating the weight to a controller, and controlling operation of the vehicle with the controller based on the weight of the operator. | 02-03-2011 |
20110029194 | SECURABLE COVER FOR VEHICLE LIGHTS - A cover for use in connection with one or more vehicle lights is provided. A lens of the cover contains an electrically activatable material that prevents the transmission of visible light from entering into and reflecting out from one or more of the vehicle lights when the electrically activatable material is set to a light inhibiting state. The cover may be configured to be releasably installed over one or more of the vehicle lights such as military combat vehicle lights. A coupling device electrically couples the electrically activatable material to an electrical power source. An actuator is adapted to set the electrically activatable material of the lens to the light inhibiting state in response to user operation such that the lens prevents the transmission of visible light from entering into and reflecting out from the one or more vehicle lights to reduce the observability of the one or more vehicle lights. | 02-03-2011 |
20110063864 | SECURABLE COVER WITH ELECTRICALLY ACTIVATABLE LIGHT INHIBITING LENS FOR VEHICLE LIGHTS - A cover for use in connection with a vehicle light having a light source and a light reflector is provided. A lens of the cover has an electrically activatable material switchable between a light inhibiting state and a light transmissive state. The electrically activatable material prevents the transmission of visible light from entering into and reflecting out from the vehicle light when the electrically activatable material is set to the light inhibiting state. The lens has an area without having the electrically activatable material such that visible light from the light source is also to pass through the area. A baffle having the electrically activatable material extends from the body of the lens. The baffle blocks a portion of the visible light that passes through the area of the lens from traveling in certain directions when the electrically activatable material is in the light inhibiting state. | 03-17-2011 |
