Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, computer program code and means are provided for bulk costing using an application server which receives a bulk costing request from a remote user device, the bulk costing request including a list of items to be costed and a set of input variables. A final list of components and assemblies is generated including a scenario for each item to be costed for each combination of input variables. A deep costing analysis is performed of the final list, resulting in an estimated cost for each of the items to be costed for each of the input variables.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a toy water gun and, more particularly, to a pressurized toy water gun having a mixing nozzle or nozzles for simultaneously discharging and mixing two or more liquids after they pass through the mixing nozzle. In one embodiment, the toy gun may include separate tanks or reservoirs for storing the liquids, and separate nozzles for receiving and discharging the liquids in discharged streams of liquid. The toy gun may further include a pressurization mechanism in fluid communication with the tanks and the nozzles to provide pressure to cause the liquids to be discharged from the nozzles in the discharged streams of liquid. The nozzles may be oriented relative to each other such that the discharged streams engage each other after being discharged from the outlets of the nozzles to mix the liquids.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a toy projectile launcher for discharging a toy projectile attached thereto that may include a housing, a hollow outer cylinder, and a compression member that may be disposed on the housing, and slidably received within the hollow outer cylinder. The compression member may include a fluid passage therethrough in fluid communication with the interior of the outer cylinder. The interior of the outer cylinder may be moveable between an uncocked position and a cocked position such that movement of the outer cylinder from the cocked position toward the uncocked position compresses air in the interior of the outer cylinder, with the compressed air being delivered to through the fluid passage to a toy projectile attached to the toy projectile launcher. The toy projectile launcher may also include a spring that may bias the outer cylinder from the cocked position toward the uncocked position.
