Abstract: A sealant applicator nozzle, of the present technology, has a fan-shaped profile, with a broad concave arc that defines a distal end of the nozzle and provides the nozzle with a tooling edge. The concave tooling edge, along with the outlet orifice, and two surface-contact edges are positioned to equidistantly straddle a lap joint to be sealed when in operation. In methods of using the nozzle, a wide ribbon of sealant is applied in a smoothly arched geometry, forming a segment of a circle, over a lap joint so that the thickest part of the arch is centered directly on the edge of the overlapping material that forms the lap joint.

Abstract: A targeting system and methods of use provide a player of a first person shooter video game with enhanced weapon targeting. Vertical and horizontal lines extend outwardly from a game reticule. In some embodiments, the vertical and horizontal lines or bands extend across the display screen or window within the display screen. The present technology can be applied to display screens mechanically or electronically. In some embodiments an electronic device is situated between the gaming console and the display screen. In other embodiments, a piece of clear, thin-film material is cut to approximate the dimensions of the screen, with the key graphical design elements of the present invention screen printed on the piece of plastic. Static electricity may hold the film in place. In other embodiments, the film may be held in place by pressure sensitive adhesive, brackets, or the like.

Abstract: A system and method for providing custom colored sealant are generally provided with a dispensing container, containing a quantity of sealant base solution. A nozzle, is shaped and sized to be removably secured with an open end portion of the dispensing container. A supplemental container is provided that contains a quantity of sealant thickener. A quantity of at least one coloring agent is added to the dispensing container and mixed with the sealant base solution, by agitating the dispensing container, until a desired color is attained. The sealant thickener is then added and the dispensing container is then agitated again. The nozzle is then coupled with the dispensing container and the custom-colored sealant is ready to be dispensed.
