Abstract:

A firearm audiovisual recording system including a digital video camera, attachably/detachably connected to a firearm, that is made operational when the firearm is readied for firing, i.e., when it is withdrawn from a holster. The system preferably transmits via wireless mechanisms, the video signals produced by the camera to a local digital video recorder positioned proximate to the camera and located, for example, in the trunk of a police car where it may be stored and simultaneously re-transmitted to another receiver located at a police station. In this manner, not only are the events and circumstances of the firearm usage recorded and memorialized, they are transmitted to other systems/locations for simultaneous observation and/or subsequent review.

Abstract:

A reusable device for protecting spooled materials such as wire, cable, fiber or others during their transport, storage, and warehousing. The device is wrapped circumferentially around the spooled material, secured, and is sufficiently impact resistant to prevent unintended damage to the spooled material. Keepers, disposed lengthwise along the device, serve to prevent the spooled material from becoming unwound along the ends of the spool. An external surface provides a surface for advertising or other written information.
