20110017788Sling Fittings and Sling System for a Firearm - The present invention is a sling system utilizing a rear sling fitting for a long firearm, such as a rifle. Such fittings typically are positioned between the stock and receiver. It presents a fitting body with an aperture to slide over a rifle receiver tube and a connection bar extending from a reverse of the fitting body. A point-type sling attachment may then be attached to the connection bar and be able to slide left and right across the back of the weapon, allowing for quickly adaptable left or right positioning of the weapon. Registration geometry may be added and positioned to further allow interface with weapon geometry and prevent rotation of the fitting during use. The connection bar may be positioned on another component of the weapon, such as the receiver or the stock, should the weapon not have a receiver extension tube. A convertible sling and forward sling mount are also disclosed for cooperative use with the fitting, completing the system.01-27-2011

20080235228EFFICIENT STRING SORTING - A method for processing data includes reading respective initial substrings of the strings in a group, and computing respective codewords for the initial substrings. The codewords indicate differences between the substrings and point to the strings from which the substrings were respectively read. The codewords are arranged in a heap, which includes a tree of nodes. Each node has no more than two children and has a respective codeword pointing to a string that is in a predetermined ordinal relation, based on the lexicographical ordering, to the strings pointed to by the codewords of the children of the node. A list of one or more of the strings is output in accordance with a lexicographical ordering by selecting one or more of the nodes in the heap and reading the strings that are pointed to by the corresponding codewords.09-25-2008

20080258369VARIABLE GEOMETRY WORKTABLE - A worktable having a leg supports (10-23-2008
20080265480Worktable Clamping and Folding Apparatus and Methods for Operating Same - A worktable clamping apparatus wherein an adjustable clamping jaw is operable between an adjustable mode (allowing both forward and backward movement on a supporting frame and a clamping mode whereby a work piece is clamped by opposing jaws. The clamping mode is selectively effected by actuation of a clamping assembly which prevents backward movement of the adjustable clamping jaw away from the work piece to be clamped. The clamping mode is not effected automatically but is selectively effected by the user. The time taken to clamp a work piece is significantly reduced as compared to conventional clamping apparatus. In a further aspect of the invention, the clamping apparatus can be collapsed into a partially deployed state to allow the “A” frame structure to be used for alternative purposes.10-30-2008

20080314833COAGULANT DOSING PROCESS FOR MEMBRANE FILTRATION - A filtration process has a coagulation step and a membrane filtration step. The membrane filtration step has a permeation step followed by a cleaning step. In the coagulation step, a coagulant is added to feed water during a period of time beginning generally at the start of the permeation step and ending in a range from about 50% to 85% of the duration of the permeation step.12-25-2008

20110045993MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE FOR ASSESSING OBJECT/TEST MATERIAL INTERACTIONS - An object/test material interaction microti iridic device comprising a sample inlet adapted to receive a fluid sample comprising a plurality of objects, an outlet adapted to output the fluid sample from the device, at least one internal surface defining a flow cavity within the device, wherein the flow cavity extends between and is connected to the sample inlet and the outlet for flow of the fluid sample through the flow cavity, the flow cavity comprises a test area to which at least one test material is attached and which is situated in the flow cavity for flow of the fluid sample over the test area, and the flow cavity has an aspect ratio which, when the flow cavity is substantially filled by the fluid sample, provides a substantially constant shear force between the test area and the fluid sample flowing over the test area. The invention further comprises a system incorporating the device, methods of use of the device and system, and methods of analysing interactions.02-24-2011

20100083733IMPACT DETECTION SYSTEM - An impact detection system provides a means of sensing, monitoring and recording impact events on an impact surface using at least one sensor that is incorporated into the impact surface. The sensor(s) can be integral with, attached to or located behind various types of impact surface including various types of garments that can be worn by an individual or on composite materials such as an aircraft fuselage for example. The impact detection system includes a portable impact detection device electrically connected to the sensor(s) and is used to detect ballistic or non-ballistic type impacts on the impact surface. The portable impact detection device processes the impact data detected by the sensor(s) and stores the data for analysis at a later time or outputs the data to a third party system for review and/or analysis.04-08-2010
20110184270PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING GARMENT - A garment for providing physiological monitoring of a wearer is provided. In one embodiment, the garment comprises a sensor configured to detect a physiological signal of a wearer; a stretchable member connected to a first connection point; an adjusting member connected to the stretchable member; an adjusting member configured to adjust a distance between the stretchable member and a second connection point; and wherein the stretchable member is configured to stretch when the distance is less than a predetermined distance to urge the sensor into contact with the wearer's skin.07-28-2011
20110257542System Method and Device for Performing Heat Stress Tests - A system, method and device for testing for heat stress of a person is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes determining a first heart rate of the person at the end of a first time period during which a heart rate of the person maintained at least a first predetermined heart rate; after the first time period, determining a second heart rate of the person at the end of a second time period during which the heart rate of the person did not exceed a second predetermined heart rate; wherein the first predetermined heart rate is greater than the second predetermined heart rate; determining that the heart rate of the person transitioned from at least the first predetermined heart rate to no greater than the second predetermined heart rate within a predetermined transition time period; determining a heart rate recovery by subtracting the second heart rate from the first heart rate; determining a heart rate recovery ratio by dividing the heart rate recovery by a heart rate recover baseline; and providing a notification if the heart rate recovery ratio is beyond a threshold.10-20-2011

20090281394Bio-mechanical sensor system - The bio mechanical sensor system is disclosed that uses conductive fabric sensors to detect, monitor and record one or more physiological parameters of a person wearing a garment that incorporates the fabric sensors such as a body harness or strap for example, that is attached to a person. The physiological parameters that can be detected include a wearer's heart rate and respiration rate plus ambient temperature and body temperature for example. The garment has a monitoring device that is attached to the garment and used to receive the detected physiological data. A processing circuit within the monitoring device then processes the data and outputs the person's physiological data to a display device in a format characteristic of the person's heart rate and respiratory rate and/or outputs the data to a third party system for review and analysis.11-12-2009
20110133931Electric field sensing device - A sensing system is disclosed that uses at least one conductive plate and associated electronic circuitry to provide an output that is indicative of an object's position in relation to the at least one conductive plate. The sensing system is provided with a high impedance drive signal that varies as a result of the location of an object relative to the at least one conductive plate. The electronic circuitry receives a high impedance drive signal value as an input and a processor uses the value to calculate a digital output indicative of the object's position. The high impedance drive signal value is monitored over time enabling the objects position, displacement, pressure, movement, impact and energy to be determined. This data is output to a display and may also be transmitted to a person located remotely from the object being monitored.06-09-2011
