  • Projectiles for a paintball marker and systems
    Patent number: 11428512
    Abstract: A hollow spherical projectile is constructed from a plurality of curved structural segments and has a plurality of openings. The projectile can be fired by a conventional paintball marker with a high degree of ballistic accuracy. The projectile is reusable and is fabricated from a flexible and resilient material. The outer surface of the projectile exhibits low friction, achieved by the material itself or by having a low friction coating applied. The projectile possess and transmits less kinetic energy than a conventional paintball and therefore inflicts less pain and damage upon impact. Fabrication can be accomplished by 3D printing, or molding as a single seamless piece, or as a plurality of pieces which are then assembled.

  • Wireless power initiated aircraft test system
    Patent number: 11428725
    Abstract: A wireless power initiated test system can use an aircraft controller to automatically initiate a test sequence to determine status of systems of the aircraft, based on the detection of receipt of the wireless power at the aircraft. The detection of receipt of the wireless power at the aircraft can be based on the detection at a voltage regulator of the aircraft which is receiving the wireless power from a wireless power receiver of the aircraft. The system may also power the aircraft controller during the test sequence using the wireless power received. Such a system may quickly and efficiently initiate, power and perform a pre-flight test sequence to determine statuses of systems of the aircraft, such as during a competition or race of the aircraft. The system may apply to drones, as well as of other types of aircraft.

  • Reading internal temperature of continuously variable transmissions
    Patent number: 11421780
    Abstract: A system and method are presented that measure the temperature of a component in a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system. An infrared temperature sensor is mounted in a thermally insulating sensor housing such that the sensor is located within the interior of a CVT housing and aimed at the component. The component can be a belt in the CVT system or a stationary sheave in one of the two clutches of the CVT system. The sensor housing can have a cup and a stem with the sensor being positioned within that portion of the sensor housing positioned within the interior of the CVT housing. When the stem is in the interior of the CVT housing, a nut can be used to secure the sensor housing to the CVT housing while protecting the infrared sensor from damage. An air temperature sensor in the exhaust port can provide supplemental temperature readings.
