| 20120176269 | Systems and Methods for Protection from Explosive Devices - Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to reproducing and testing a simulation of electromagnetic propagation of multiple Radio Frequency (RF) jammers in an environment to determine the effectiveness of the jammer configuration. In some configurations, a multi-jammer simulator renders the electromagnetic propagation of a multiple jammer scenario, including multiple RF jammers onboard vehicles traveling through the environment, and records a multi-waveform output of the multiple jammer scenario to a recordable medium. A multi-waveform generator reads the multi-waveform output from the recordable medium and physically reproduces a plurality of waveforms consistent with the multi-waveform output. The plurality of waveforms is substantially similar to a physical reproduction of the multiple jammer scenario. An RF receiver, placed within a range of effectiveness of the multi-waveform generator, attempts to receive a signal from an RF transmitter during reproduction of the multi-waveform output. Results are recorded in the form of successes and failures associated with the attempts and compared with results from the simulation. | 07-12-2012 |

| 20090293198 | Covering system - The covering system includes a plurality of cover members having releasable fasteners disposed on the periphery of the cover members for forming a case or cover for a pillow, cushion, or other article, such as a laptop computer. The releasable fastener may be a zipper fastener in which each cover member has a stringer attached about its periphery and a slider that is not permanently attached to a cover member, but which is temporarily locked to the teeth assemblies of two cover members so that the cover members can be zipped to form a case for the article. The two cover members may have different designs, and a single cover member may have different decorative designs on opposite sides to form a reversible cover member. The covering system permits panels to be interchanged or reversed to provide the case with any desired decorative appearance. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20120181055 | High Volume Cover - The High Volume Cover is a cover designed to replace the use of flat covers over metal electrical junction boxes and/or metal electrical junction box extensions. The high volume capacity of the cover eliminates the need to stack electrical junction box extensions until the required volume is reached and placing a flat cover over the opening. The increased depth of the High Volume Cover also allows the wires to remain straight instead of coiling the wires and stuffing them into the confined space provided by shallow electrical junction boxes. This will reduce conductor fatigue as the High Volume Cover reduces the need to move the conductors. Insulation nicks will be reduced and heat buildup inside the electrical junction box will be reduced. | 07-19-2012 |
