Welding plates are constructed and arranged for welding to the struts on the rear faces of the armor plates. The welding plates extend over the rear faces of the armor plates at junctions between the armor plates. A weapon platform is disposed on a second portion of at least one of the struts for mounting a weapon in the protected space to fire out past the front face of the armor panels. A transparent projectile defeating shield is mounted to swivel with the weapon, preferably on the weapons stand. The transparent shield may have one-way visibility so that a gunner is not visible to adversaries, but adversaries are visible to the gunner. | 02-04-2010 |

20130054138 | Global positioning and timing system and method for race start line management - A system and method for positioning control and management of racing sailboat positions and velocities includes the strategic placement of a global positioning receiver on the sailboat. Global positioning system (GPS) receiver unit receives GPS signals from positioning satellites. Prior to starting a race, the sailboat takes two line shots of the starting line from beyond one or both ends of the starting line. In response to operator selection via a user input interface connected to the GPS receiver, the boat's respective positions at which the two line shots are taken are each recorded by a processor connected to the GPS receiver. The processor calculates the equation of a straight line corresponding to that of the extended starting line, and plots it in an x-y plane. The processor additionally continuously determines the boat's current location, speed and bearing relative to the start line, and plots its current course in the same x-y plane as the starting line. The processor calculates the projected point of intersection of the boat's current course with the starting line, and produces a visual and/or audible output describing the amount of time until the boat crosses the start line. | 02-28-2013 |
