  • Patent number: 5052140
    Abstract: A guide for the insertion of gun magazines with a mounting extension insertable into a bottom opening in the butt of the gun with a butt bottom rim receiving opening with a bottom at the back end extended to opposite side shoulders with opposite sides engaging the rim profile of the gun butt bottom when mounted in place on the gun butt. The guide forms a lower flanged out bottom of the gun butt for improved grip and presents a wide angled opening extending out wider to opposite sides than the projected profile of the gun butt bottom making it easier and faster to insert a fresh magazine into the gun receiver. This magazine entrance guide has bifurcated sides extending forward from the rear in one embodiment and in another embodiment the front end is closed with the opposite sides joined together at the front. In either form this gun magazine entrance guide is quite useful for pistols such as the GLOCK pistol (U.S. Pat. No. 4,539,889) for faster loading and improved pistol grip.

  • Patent number: 5038583
    Abstract: A basic air conditioning/refrigeration system charged (filled) with, typically, Nitrogen gas six to ten atmospheres with a specific heat of gas equal to 0.022 B.T.U. per degree F. change per cubic foot per atmosphere when in operation. The system may be run so the gas circulates through the system at 15.5 A. C.F.M., yielding a shaft output of one horse power out of a cooling gas expansion motor. Other refrigerant gases useable in place of Nitrogen are Argon, Helium, Hydrogen, dry air and a forming gas mixture of Nitrogen and Hydrogen in typically an 80% to 20% ratio (Hydrogen would probably not exceed 30% in a forming gas mixture) with all of these remaining in the gaseous state throughout the system as opposed to a freon charged system where freon is expanded from the liquid to gaseous state and compressed back to the liquid state within the system.

  • Patent number: 5033614
    Abstract: Resilient material elongate cloth strips are inserted into a tubular cue stick section enclosing, supporting and protecting tube with the elongate cloth strips folded over the smaller diameter end of the cue stick section for initial insertion into the enclosing protective tube. Adhesive is used within both ends of the tube to hold the cloth in place when inserted therein along with a tube end plug and a decorative liner within the tube through a substantial length thereof. The larger, or butt end, of the cue stick section extends outward to the exterior of the tube within which the cue stick is a snug holding fit. Two, and in some instances three, cloth strips are used to give adequate resilient cushioning support to the smaller end of the cue stick section and single layer resilient cushioning support toward the larger end of the cue stick section. A typical cloth well suited for this use with the desired resilient compressability factor is various wool felt fabrics.

  • Patent number: 5024059
    Abstract: An ionized gas drive system is provided wherein electrically charged gas atoms (or molecules) moving through a magnetic field at right angles to the lines of flux experience a force at right angles to it's direction of motion and to the magnetic field. A motor driven rotor mounting a plurality of permanent magnet elements all mounted with common polarity outward is mounted for rotation within an annular ring of gas passages extending between a low pressure gas manifold and a high pressure gas manifold. Each gas passage includes a conductive wire extension part within and partly to the outside of the respective gas passages that, with rotation of the magnetic mounting rotor and movement of the magnetic field lines of force develops an induced electronic flow whereby gas atoms touching the portion of the wire extension take an electron from the gas atom. The resultant ionization of the gas atoms is an aid to the gas being moved by the moving magnetic field generated with rotation of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 4958167
    Abstract: Ultra-broadband impedance matched electrically small complementary-pair antennas using thin wire elements with impedance optimizing feed are presented. Efficiencies are determined by achieveable loss resistances in the radiating structure itself, rather than the (limited) quality of an external loading coil; and by energy channeled into the difference port of the feed hybrid, that is used to match two complementary impedances. Broad and impedance loci are achieved for the thin radiators by horizontal feed bars placed prior to the complementarizing circuit. Impedance matching is then accomplished in a standard broadband hybrid or "Magic Tee" feed circuit, which combines either two identical elements, where one has been "complementarized", or there are twoself-complementary elements, such as a monopole and a half-loop.

  • Patent number: 4858090
    Abstract: An ellipsoidal reflector system concentrating energy utilizing two effects- one being that light passing through one focus of an ellipse will tend to line up with the major axis after each reflection, combined with the other in the properties of ellipses rotated off-axis having one distributed focus and one point focus. After a few reflections light having originally passed through one focus is, for practical purposes, running along the major axis even though the major axis is approached as an asymptote. This energy concentration system would be quite useful as a source of highly collimated light such as would be more practical for field surveying work than, for example, lasers, for optical alignment, and fiber-optic carrier media input. In addition to light some of these ellipsoidal reflector systems for concentration of energy are also effective for ultrasonics and/or shock waves.
