  • Smart trigger
    Patent number: 11698238
    Abstract: A system and method for a programmable trigger device for a firearm, capable of situational awareness providing intelligent contextual data related to projectile management to a downstream firing device. In particular, a smart trigger system that evaluates targets in line-of-fire, estimated target age, estimated target distance, and other contextual data that is then passed along to a programmable device. The device, as provided by the consumer of this invention, may make the determination then whether to eject or prevent ejection of a bullet after the trigger is activated, firing an alternative shot based on environmental factors of which the device is aware, or other activations or deactivations as seen fit.

  • Rotary encoder shaft clamp
    Patent number: 11692856
    Abstract: An encoder includes a rotatable encoder disc. A clamp is fixed to the encoder disc to rotate therewith. The clamp includes an arcuately extending body presenting a radially inner face and arcuately spaced apart ends defining a gap therebetween. The inner face extends along a clamping path and engages a rotating component to secure the clamp to the rotating component to rotate therewith. The clamp includes an adjustment mechanism for modifying an arcuate extent of the gap by shifting the ends relative to one another and, in turn, modifying the clamping path. The body defines a radially extending cutout facilitating bending of the body in association with expansion or contraction of the gap and modification of the clamping path. The clamp includes a raised boss extending from a front face thereof. The boss presents a contact face spaced axially from the front face and fixedly engaging the encoder disc.
