  • Patent number: 11971238
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for detecting and displaying a number of rounds in a firearm magazine comprising a maximum number of N rounds. The magazine may comprise a follower, magnets on the follower, and <N magnetic switches arranged along a path of the magnets when the follower moves along a length of the magazine, the switches configured to activate based on a magnetic field exceeding a threshold, and a first antenna arranged on an inside of the magazine and parallel to a firing direction of the firearm, and configured to wirelessly transmit a round count indication to a second antenna on the firearm, the round count indication based on the round count data, the second antenna affixed to an inside of a magazine well of the firearm and mostly overlapping with the first antenna.

  • Publication number: 20240119285
    Abstract: In an aspect, an apparatus for procedural training is presented. An apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to at least a processor. A memory contains instructions configuring at least a processor to receive optical data from a sensor comprising a machine vision system in electronic communication with the at least a processor, wherein the machine vision system is configured to identify at least one object within optical data. At least a processor is configured to determine a procedural performance parameter as a function of optical data wherein determining the procedural performance parameter comprises classifying the at least one object within optical data to an optical data category using an optical data classifier. At least a processor is configured to compare a procedural performance parameter to a procedural performance threshold. At least a processor is configured to display procedural training feedback through a display unit as a function of a comparison.

  • Publication number: 20050199234
    Abstract: The heating and cooling system may be structurally incorporated into a building. The heating and cooling system may be incorporated into an exterior building portion having an interior side. At least one support member, having a fastening portion and a channel, is mounted proximate to the interior side of the exterior building portion. At least one radiant heat tube is disposed in each channel and mounted proximate to the interior side of the exterior building portion by each support member. A heat-carrying medium is transmitted through the radiant heat tube. A radiant heat reflective surface is mounted proximate to the radiant heat tube.
