Unidirectional transparent projectile penetration resistant panels and bidirectional opaque projectile penetration resistant assemblies and systems and methods of forming and mounting the same relative to underlying support structures.

A method of using an anti-ballistic protection system for protecting an interior space in a building. The ballistic barrier includes a laminated material having a plurality of layers of lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material such as woven sheets which are secured together into the laminate using a adhesive, heat weld, or stitching. The ballistic barrier in the deployed state is configured to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic projectiles such as a bullet fired from a gun or a shrapnel from a bomb to protect the interior space, and can be used to protect windows, doors, hallways, and walls from penetration by the ballistic projectiles.

A system for proactively adjusting to impact forces has first and second walls spaced apart from one another to define a stationary enclosed cavity therebetween; a movable member inside the enclosed cavity; an actuator; a proximity sensor; computer memory; a processor in data communication with the actuator, the proximity sensor, and the computer memory; programming causing the processor to determine a potential impact location on at least one of the first and second walls using data obtained from the proximity sensor; and programming causing the processor to activate the actuator based on the potential impact location, activation of the actuator causing the movable member to move inside the enclosed cavity prior to receiving the impact forces.

Unidirectional transparent projectile penetration resistant panels and bidirectional opaque projectile penetration resistant assemblies and systems and methods of forming and mounting the same relative to underlying support structures.

Lightweight ballistic glasses are provided that provide effective protection from ballistic attack while also being lightweight enough for use in armored vehicles and aircraft. In addition to other embodiments, a multilayered lightweight ballistic glass is provided that meets the CEN 1063 Level BR7 standard while having a weight of no greater than about 155 kilograms per square meter (kg/m.sup.2), and a total thickness of less than about 75 mm.

The invention relates to an angle mirror including a backup sight. The angle mirror includes a housing connected to a mirror head and a lower part. An objective is arranged outside of the housing and is connected to the housing by an optical connection, for example a fiber optic line, that does not require electrical power or current to transmit the image from the objective. The mirror head and the objective provide separate images to a first insight and a second insight, respectively. The objective functions as a backup or auxiliary sight of the surrounding environment even in the event of a power failure.

Secure vehicles and methods for transporting and dispensing products are provided herein.

A window apparatus that can either be retrofitted in an existing blind or have the dimensions to fit into a new blind to allow a hunter to hunt with either a firearm or a bow. The window apparatus is made up of a frame having at least two panels. One of the panels is substantially transparent to allow a hunter to look for game. The second panel has a slotted aperture that is made up of at least one elastomeric membrane. The slotted aperture allows a hunter to protrude a portion of a firearm through the membrane, creating a barrier to stop scent from egressing, heat from escaping in cold seasons, and precipitation and insects from coming into the hunting blind. The elastomeric membrane can conceal the firearm further by matching the color of the portion of the firearm.

A break-in resistant window assembly whose components include a window pane having at least a pair of edges and a corner; a frame boarding the window pane; a sheet of polymeric film overlying the pane, a first adhesive layer fixedly interconnecting the pane and the sheet of polymeric film; and a corner assembly which includes a base portion and a cover portion which are able to be mechanically locked to each other to complete a corner assembly. The base portion includes adhesive pads for bonding both to the corner of the window pane and the corner of the window frame. Trim pieces which abut the base portion are also bonded to the window pane and the window frame by adhesive pads. The cover portion is arranged to extend over the abutting ends of the base portion and the trim pieces and thereby conceal any mismatch between those abutting edges.
