  • Publication number: 20200056856
    Abstract: Shooting sticks having pivotally attached support rests slidably attached to collapsible legs, said support rests providing a stable platform on which a user may aim and/or shoot a firearm or other object requiring at least temporary immobilization. A first channel running along the length of each support rests allows for the passage of a leg. A brake is attached to each support rest, said brake having an aperture through which a leg passes through, the aperture being configured, when the brake has not been depressed, to arrest any sliding movement of the support rest along the length of the leg to which it is attached. When the brake is depressed, the aperture becomes oriented perpendicular to leg which passes through it, allowing the support rests to freely slide up and down the leg. An elastic member provides an upwardly directed force to aid in support rest stabilization and lift assist.

  • Publication number: 20200055318
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section, a main replenishing section, an auxiliary replenishing section, and a controller. The image forming section forms an image on a recording medium using a consumable. The main replenishing section retains the consumable therein. The auxiliary replenishing section is replenished with the consumable from the main replenishing section and replenishes the consumable to the image forming section. The controller controls an image forming speed for forming the image on the recording medium. The controller lowers the image forming speed below a normal speed when a main residual amount corresponding to a remaining amount of the consumable retained in the main replenishing section is no greater than a specified value.

  • Publication number: 20200057407
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an attachment section, an intermediate hopper, second storage, an image forming section, a first calculation section, and a second calculation section. The image forming section forms an image on a sheet using the toner contained in the intermediate hopper. The first calculation section, in a case where an image is to be formed on a first predetermined number of the sheets, calculates a consumed toner amount that is the amount of toner consumed during formation of the image on a second predetermined number of the sheets, the second predetermined number being smaller than the first predetermined number. The second calculation section calculates the maximum number of the sheets on which the image can be formed, on the basis of the consumed toner amount, the first toner amount, and the second toner amount.

  • Patent number: 10565344
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques conform standard cells in an integrated circuit design into a valid template pattern using a template-based approach to standard cell design. The template architecture stores valid patterns of circuit elements for the design. A Boolean expression comprising an aggregated set of Boolean assertions can be generated for each different combination of cell shape features and edge locations with the cell design to compute a solution that matches with a valid pattern in one of the templates. If the solution evaluates to a Boolean TRUE result, the cell shape(s) can be modified in accordance with the solution. If not, the granularity can be updated by incrementing an “adjustment neighborhood” value and iterating the computations for shape features and edge locations using the updated values for the analysis until a Boolean TRUE result is found or it is determined there is no solution for the set of expressions.

  • Patent number: 10566936
    Abstract: Various technologies pertaining to a high-impedance current source are described herein. The current source outputs a substantially constant current by way of a first transistor that draws current from a supply. The current source is configured to feed-back noise from the supply to a feedback resistor at an input of an operational amplifier (op-amp) by way of a second transistor. The feedback resistor and the op-amp are configured such that responsive to receiving the supply noise feedback, the op-amp drives a gate voltage of the first transistor to cause the first transistor to reject the supply noise and cause the output of the current source to remain substantially constant.

  • Patent number: 10564285
    Abstract: Techniques of tracking an object involve a Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) system. The LIDAR system can be configured to track an object over a period of time, during which the object is moving. Using the LIDAR system tracking of the object can be performed while eliminating illumination hardware (e.g., video camera hardware). Accordingly, the LIDAR system can be configured to operate in total darkness, into the sun, etc. The LIDAR system can be less susceptible to motion of the object than conventional systems. Accordingly, the full rigid-body motion of the object can be determined in some implementations solely from LIDAR measurements, without, for example, video.
