  • Patent number: 12281867
    Abstract: A clutch assembly for a rotary machine gun includes a drive sleeve mountable to the gun, a clutch gear slidably and rotatably mounted on the sleeve, a clutch housing on the sleeve, a shifter in the housing, and a solenoid assembly secured to the housing. The clutch gear is configured to engage and rotate with the sleeve. A plunger on the sleeve urges the clutch gear away from engagement with the sleeve. The shifter is configured to push the clutch gear into engagement with the sleeve when actuated. The solenoid assembly includes a solenoid housing, a plunger configured to actuate the shifter, a plunger rod, a biasing member, and a lever on the plunger rod. The lever is manually pivotable to move the clutch gear to a neutral position wherein the gear is rotatable about the sleeve in either of two opposing directions until the solenoid assembly is electrically actuated.

  • Patent number: 12284280
    Abstract: Data in various formats can be protected in a distributed tokenization environment. Examples of such formats include date and time data, decimal data, and floating point data. Such data can tokenized by a security device that instantiates a number of tokenization pipelines for parallel tokenization of the data. Characteristics of such data can be used to tokenize the data. For instance, token tables specific to the data format can be used to tokenized the data. Likewise, a type, order, or configuration of the operations within each tokenization pipeline can be selected based on the data format or characteristics of the data format. Each tokenization pipeline performs a set of encoding or tokenization operations in parallel and based at least in part on a value received from another tokenization pipeline. The tokenization pipeline outputs are combined, producing tokenized data, which can be provided to a remote system for storage or processing.
