International Classification:

B64D 1/00

US Classification:

244136, 2441181, 239171, 1378992

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for aerial fire suppression utilizing a potable fire retardant chemical dispensing system, readily adaptable, without extensive aircraft modification, to various makes of aircraft, for dispensing current types of forest and range fire fighting chemicals.

Abstract:

A semiconductor device of unipolar type has Schottky-contacts () laterally separated by regions in the form of additional layers (″) of semiconductor material on top of a drift layer (). Said additional layers being doped according to a conductivity type being opposite to the one of the drift layer. At least one (″) of the additional layers has a substantially larger lateral extension and thereby larger area of the interface to the drift layer than adjacent such layers () for facilitating the building-up of a sufficient voltage between that layer and the drift layer for injecting minority charge carriers into the drift layer upon surge for surge protection.

Assignee:

Raytheon Company - Waltham MA

International Classification:

G06K 9/62
G06K 9/46

Abstract:

An automatic target recognizer system including: a database that stores target recognition data including multiple reference features associated with each of multiple reference targets; a pre-selector that selects a portion of the target recognition data based on a reference gating feature of the multiple reference features; a preprocessor that processes an image received from an image acquisition system which is associated with an acquired target and determines an acquired gating feature of the acquired target; a feature extractor and processor that discriminates the acquired gating feature with the reference gating feature and, if there is a match, extracts multiple segments of the image and detects the presence, absence, probability or likelihood of one of multiple features of each of the multiple reference targets; a classifier that generates a classification decision report based on a determined classification of the acquired target; and a user interface that displays the classification decision report.

Inventors:

- Corinth TX, US
Christopher L. Harris - Frisco TX, US

International Classification:

F41B 15/02

US Classification:

463 472

Abstract:

A passive control tool may include a ball, a handle having a first end and a second end, the first end affixed to the ball, a weapon trap coupled to the second end of the handle and having ribbing around its circumference, an arm trap adjacent to weapon trap and having a striking base, a hook having a first end and a second end, the first end of the hook coupled to the arm trap, the hook positioned opposite the weapon trap at a width such that the arm trap may be used to trap an appendage of a human subject, and a nerve point nub protruding from the hook that may press directly on the human subject to cause compliance. The passive control tool has an overall length from the ball to the striking base of approximately 16.5 inches and a width of approximately 7.5 inches.
