  • Patent number: 11946440
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for a fuel bowl to supply liquid fuel to a carburetor. The fuel bowl comprises a float chamber and a fuel inlet cavity which receives a fuel delivery insert. The fuel delivery insert receives a fuel inlet valve and comprises passages to direct incoming fuel to a bottom portion of the float chamber. A float comprises an elongate member rotatably hinged within a float cavity of the fuel delivery insert, such that the float rises according to a quantity of fuel within the float chamber. The fuel inlet valve supplies liquid fuel to the float chamber by way of the passages according to the operation of the float within the float chamber. A ventilation chamber allows air and fuel vapors to exit as liquid fuel enters the float chamber while preventing liquid fuel from entering into the carburetor.

  • Publication number: 20230296341
    Abstract: A trigger reset device that utilizes a base and a pivotal paddle to aid in the reset the trigger of a semi-automatic firearm that utilizes a bolt carrier group and single stage trigger. After each actuation of the trigger, the trigger reset device aids in the reset of the trigger at a rate faster than most amateur operators are able to release their finger off the trigger. The aided reset device thereby allows the operator to the fire the firearm at an enhanced rate.

  • Publication number: 20230131831
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for use with an electronic device for alignment of a medical tool for positioning a surgical hardware device. The apparatus includes a case to secure the electronic device such that the electronic device is secured to the case and does not move relative to the case. The case includes an opening to couple with at least a portion of the medical tool. The electronic device is secured relative to the medical tool through the coupling of the case to the at least the portion of the medical tool. The electronic device simulates a three-dimensional position of the surgical hardware device in a body using a diagnostic representation of at least a portion of the body, and the electronic device is secured in the case and coupled to the medical tool assists with the alignment of the medical.

  • Publication number: 20220387186
    Abstract: A surgical sensor system for collecting internal patient data comprises a sensor module comprising a housing and a sensor disposed within the housing, and an attachment device comprising a socket for receiving the housing and an exterior anchor feature for attaching the attachment device to biological matter. A method of implanting a sensor module for use with an orthopedic implant device comprises making an insertion portal in anatomy of a patient, positioning a sensor module in the anatomy in a first position relative to the insertion portal, and positioning an orthopedic implant in the anatomy in a second position relative to the insertion portal such that the orthopedic implant is separate from the sensor module.

  • Publication number: 20220237817
    Abstract: Systems and methods for artificial intelligence based, such as machine learning-based, image analysis and suggestion of optimal or desired placement of surgical appliances and/or medical alignment devices, with, in certain implementations, supervised learning provided by users. A computing device may receive a target image captured via an image sensor; process the captured target image to identify anatomical features within the captured target image; calculate, via a trained neural network or artificial intelligence algorithm, a placement orientation and position of a virtual surgical appliance and/or desired item within the identified anatomical features; and render, on a display screen, the captured target image and the virtual surgical appliance and/or desired item at the calculated placement orientation and position.

  • Publication number: 20220201199
    Abstract: Orientation calibration system for image capture is disclosed that may include a camera to capture a target image, a display screen to display the image, an orientation sensor to determine at least two axes of orientation of the system, and a processor. The processor configured to determine the present orientation of the system using the orientation sensor, display a portion of present and a desired orientation of the system, receive a request to capture the target image, and capture the target image using the camera in response to receiving the request to capture the target image, and when a difference between the present orientation of the system and desired orientation of system is within a threshold. The system may be used to adjust/orient a display monitor to ensure desired alignment to accurately capture image. Methods for aligning/orienting a display monitor (imaging source), and the orientation calibration system are provided.
