  • Firearm for use with ordnance of varying lengths
    Patent number: 11598596
    Abstract: A firearm system is provided. A pump-action firearm, such as a shotgun, includes a buffer attached to a trigger housing. The buffer consists of a resilient or semi-resilient material and is positioned such as to face towards an opening the receiver in which the magazine tube is partially received. The buffer includes a contoured bottom surface and an upper surface, configured in a way which shortens the space available within an opening of a receiver while accommodating the loading of shells into a magazine tube. Upon moving a shell into the opening, such as by pumping the action, the shell impacts the buffer, which stabilizes the shell prior to being lifted by an elevators. For shorter shells, this reduces the risk of a jamming event. For longer shells, the buffer is configured to compress to accommodate the additional length.

  • SHORT-RANGE DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS FOR SECURED RESOURCE ACCESS
    Publication number: 20230049718
    Abstract: Communications over short-range connections are used to facilitate whether access to resources is to be granted. For example, upon device discovery of one of an electronic user device and an electronic client device by the other device over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection, an access-enabling code associated with a user device or account can be evaluated for validity and applicability with respect to one or more particular resource specifications. User identity can be verified by comparing the user against previously obtained biometric information.

  • Adaptive ergonomic positioning device
    Patent number: 11571349
    Abstract: The herein described Adaptive Ergonomic Positioning device (“AEPD”) relates generally to the field of surgery and other medical or healthcare procedures. The AEPD can be adapted for use with most standard surgical tables and surgical chairs where the patient must be positioned prone during a particular procedure. The AEPD may also be used for certain procedures where the patient may be positioned supine. The AEPD support assemblies are highly adjustable and deliver improved ergonomics for both patients and providers. Patients of different morphology can be comfortably positioned in prone with their head and neck in a neutral position, and shoulders in a forward flexed, slightly internally rotated position. The AEPD can be adjusted to accommodate patients with neck and shoulder mobility restrictions, without any effect on provider accessibility to the surgical or treatment site.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPRAY TAN CUSTOMIZATION USING MULTIPART TANNING SOLUTION
    Publication number: 20230035466
    Abstract: A system and method for customizing the solution used in the sunless spray tanning process are provided. In at least one form, the solution is volumetrically mixed at the point of use, allowing for greater customization and a more consistent tanning result. Providing improved customization at the point of use is accomplished, in at least one form, by using a two-part tanning solution: one part being a high concentration DHA solution and another part being an activator solution. The two parts are mixed with one another at the point of use based on user preferences at the time of the tanning session to provide a specific final DHA concentration for a customized tanning result.

  • Detection of a protective cover film on a capacitive touch screen
    Patent number: 11537245
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for detection of a protective cover film on a capacitive touch screen are described. A device may include a capacitive touch screen having a surface and a sensor grid underneath the surface having a set of conductive columns and a set of conductive rows. The device may measure a mutual capacitance between a subset of conductive columns or a subset of conductive rows associated with a sensor grid, and compare the measured mutual capacitance between the subset of conductive columns or the subset of conductive rows to a baseline mutual capacitance associated with the set of conductive columns and the set of conductive rows. According to the comparison, the device may determine a presence of a protective layer in contact with the surface of the capacitive touch screen, and adjust an operating characteristic of the sensor grid.
