| 20090317185 | VEHICLE ARRESTING DEVICE - A vehicle arresting device comprises a net intended to be laid flat on the ground in the path of a target vehicle with an array of upwardly-directed spikes attached to the net along a leading portion, so that when a vehicle runs over the device some of the spikes engage in its front tires and the net is caused to wrap around the front wheels, being pulled tight under the vehicle to prevent further rotation of those wheels. There are two rows of spikes, with the spikes in the second row being substantially longer than the spikes in the leading row. The gauge of the netting also varies, with the leading strip which includes the shorter spikes and back towards the longer spikes being of a thinner gauge, the portion from the longer spikes back to approximately the mid length of the net being of a thicker gauge, and the trailing portion reverting to the thinner gauge. These measures help to ensure that the net is capable of arresting a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars to trucks. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20100221004 | METHOD FOR AUTO-CONFIGURATION OF A WAVELENGTH SELECTIVE SWITCH IN AN OPTICAL NETWORK - The invention relates to a method for auto-configuring a wavelength selective switch (WSS) device having an output port and a plurality of input ports and coupled to a WSS controller. When connected to a WDM optical network, the WSS controller is programmed to utilize one or more optical channel monitors (OCM) coupled to the input and/or output ports to detect which of the wavelengths are present at the input ports. Wavelengths that are not detected on any input port are blocked by the WSS. Any wavelength detected as present at one and only one input port is switched by the WSS to the output port. If a wavelength is detected at two or more input ports, it is either blocked by the WSS at each of the input ports until user intervention, or is blocked at all but one of the input ports as defined by assigned port priorities. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20080287311 | Membrane-Translocating Peptides - A method is provided for selecting membrane-translocating peptides (MTPs) from a peptide display library that are capable of crossing or penetrating a lipid membrane. A plurality of nucleic acid constructs that encode displayed peptides are expressed, resulting in the formation of a plurality of nucleic acid-peptide complexes, each complex comprising at least one displayed peptide associated with the corresponding nucleic acid construct encoding the displayed peptide; the complexes are exposed to a population of membrane-encapsulated compartments, allowing a translocating reaction to occur; complexes that remain unassociated with the membrane are removed; optionally complexes that are associated with the membrane are removed; and internalised nucleic acid-peptide complexes are recovered. The membrane-encapsulated compartments may be artificial vesicles such as liposomes, or populations of one or more cell types. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20080233120 | Anti-p53 Antibodies - The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences which encode polypeptides of antibodies against the p53 protein in vertebrates, and to die polypeptides and antibodies (or fragments thereof) encoded by those nucleotide sequences. The invention also relates to nucleotide sequences and polypeptide sequences for use in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic compositions, and to methods of using those diagnostic and therapeutic compositions in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and other disease states which exhibit abnormalities of p53. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20110113519 | Ballistic and Impact Protective System for Military Helmet Assembly - A helmet attachment system is usable to attach a mandible or face or mouth guard. The helmet attachment system also comprises a pair of attachment bases, each arranged on a side of the helmet near to an ear covering of the helmet. The attachment bases each include a metal base plate covered by an attached body block. Each attachment base provides provisions for attaching opposite ends of a mandible to the bases. The metal base plate includes hooks for engaging an edge of the helmet. A pair of strap assemblies is provided, each strap assembly connected to one attachment base. The strap assemblies extend rearward and are connected to the back rail by a buckle member on the end of each strap assembly. The back rail includes a pair of buckle member-receiving slots. The straps assemblies and the hooks provided on the attachment bases secure the attachment bases to the helmet. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110113535 | Ballistic and Impact Protective System for Military Helmet Assembly - A helmet attachment system is usable to attach a mandible or face or mouth guard. The helmet attachment system can attach other articles such as goggle straps and night vision devices. The helmet assembly includes a front rail that is substantially contiguous with side rails mounted to the helmet which extend rearward to be substantially contiguous with a back rail mounted on the helmet. The side rails are configured to provide attachment locations for further components, such as lights, electronics, communication equipment, etc. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080211836 | DRIVE SYSTEM FOR AN OPTICALLY ADDRESSED SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR - A system includes a driving apparatus configured to operate on an optically addressed spatial light modulator (OASLM) including a modulation layer notionally divided into a plurality of separately addressable segments. A pulse generator is configured to provide one or more voltage patterns and an optical pattern generator configured to provide one or more optical patterns of light. For each segment of the OASLM, the driving apparatus is further configured to write, over a predetermined number of write operations, a predetermined amount of light associated with the one or more optical patterns. The driving apparatus is configured to apply a reset pulse associated with the one or more voltage patterns, such that a resulting net charge on the modulation layer is zero. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080247013 | IMAGE TRANSFER APPARATUS - An apparatus includes a light source configured to provide a path of light and a spatial light modulator located in the path of light and configured to modulate the light source. Relay optics are configured to receive the modulated light from the spatial light modulator and to project a computer generated image to a nominal image plane. The light source is configured to illuminate the spatial light modulator with collimated light. | 10-09-2008 |
