    Abstract: A fiber optic zoom-and-dim pins-pot luminaire includes a tubular housing having a proximal end and a distal end having a composite macro lens on an optical axis. A light emitter slidably disposed in a support tube at the proximal end of the housing is a fiber optic light guide having a first end accepting light from a remote source of illumination and a second emitting light on the optical axis. The composite macro lens forms a principal focus at a first focal plane to produce a narrow beam. The macro lens includes a plurality of micro lenses contiguous with portions of the macro lens, each micro lens having a focus at a second focal plane axially displaced from the principal focus of the macro lens. The luminaire is zoomed to a progressively wider beam of uniform intensity by moving the light emitter along the optical axis from the first focal plane, at which the second focal plane is out of focus; to the second focal plane, at which the first focal plane is out of focus. By retracting the light emitter into the support tube, the light may be dimmed at any position in the zoom range, or may be zoomed to another beam width at any desired brightness.

    Abstract: A tamper-evident child-resistant screw cap for a bottle has an internally threaded closure portion and a depending cylindrical skirt portion having a pair of diametrically spaced arc segments, frangibly attached to the skirt and flexurally attached to the open end of the closure portion. The arc segments have downward-facing ratchet dogs engaged with upward-facing ratchet teeth on the bottle neck. Each arc segment has an upstanding rigid lever which may be inwardly depressed to disengage the ratchet dogs from the ratchet teeth of the bottle neck, permitting first removal of the cap only after breaking the frangible attachments and depressing the levers while unscrewing the cap; thereafter permitting removal only by depressing the levers while unscrewing the cap, or by breaking off the levers and arc segments at their flexural attachments, thereby converting the cap to a non child-resistant configuration.

    Abstract: The invention comprises a surrogate weapon for simulating the sound and flash of gunfire having a combustion chamber system in which a primary chamber is an elongated cavity, having a proximal end closed with a head and an open distal end. A combustible mixture is injected via electronically timed hydrocarbon fuel and oxidizer pulses into the combustion chamber near the closed end through an annular injector having a plurality of spaced apart fuel and oxidizer nozzles. The fuel nozzles are axially spaced from the oxidizer nozzles and are closer to the head. Thus the injected fuel/oxidizer charge is stratified with a fuel concentration distribution preferentially being richer at an ignition source near the head. The open distal end of the combustion chamber is in the form of an annular convergent nozzle which also comprises the proximal end of a secondary chamber that is acoustically tuned and provided at its open distal end with an annular muzzle having a cross-sectional shape capable of controlling the fundamental frequency and modifying tuned frequency overtones of the acoustic signature.One embodiment provides the fuel nozzles as a plurality of radial grooves on the proximal side of a generally flat plate transverse to the primary combustion chamber cavity and having an aperture therethrough, the aperture being flush with the inner surface of the combustion chamber cavity, and also providing oxidizer nozzles as a plurality of radial grooves on the distal side of the flat plate.
