A tactical illuminator has a first switch for providing a lesser amount of visible light on an area of interest than a second switch. The first switch being in close proximity to the second switch to allow an operator to quickly and easily move his finger or thumb from the first switch to the second switch when a need for greater light is encountered. A tactical illuminator has a rotatable switch moveable from a first position that provides a lower level of light output to a second position that provides a greater level of light output. The operator actuating the switch by sliding his finger or thumb parallel to a longitudinal axis of a weapon barrel.

Abstract:
A plurality of actuators allow a gun operator to control the on/off status of an illuminator attached to a weapon in the area forward of the trigger guard. The actuators are spaced to allow them to extend rearwardly on opposite sides of the trigger guard. “Up” turns the light emitter on and keeps it on or allows it to turn on as long as the actuator is actuated, regardless of which side of the trigger guard the actuator is actuated.
Phosphoprotein Detection Reagent And Methods Of Making And Using The Same
A phosphoprotein detection reagent that selectively binds phosphoamino acids. Methods of generating and employing the reagent are also provided, as are methods of detecting modulation of protein phosphorylation are disclosed. Methods of detecting a change in state of a cell are also disclosed. Additionally, a kit for the detection of phosphoproteins is also disclosed.

Abstract:
An attachment system is provided for attaching an auxiliary device to a weapon having a frame, and in particular to a weapon frame in the area forward of the trigger guard. An attachment mechanism on the auxiliary apparatus is adapted to be engageable with a rail on the weapon to selectively attach the auxiliary apparatus. The weapon may include a transverse slot which can be engaged by a portion of the auxiliary device to prevent the auxiliary apparatus from sliding relative to the weapon due to recoil forces associated with firing the weapon.

Abstract:
A rail mounting assembly for coupling a flashlight or other instrument to a fixed point on a person's body, clothing, equipment or accessories allows a user to direct or otherwise fix light upon a person or area of interest. The rail mounting assembly may have a dovetail profile for mating with a cooperating flashlight
