Abstract: Firearms, and components of firearms, improve shooting accuracy and tolerance to debris/elements that may enter the receiver during use of the firearm in the field. The outer surface of the barrel and the receiver inner surface, and/or the bolt lugs and the receiver inner surface may feature tight-tolerance or press-fit mating, to enhance axial alignment for shooting accuracy. The bolt lugs may be configured to provide said tight-tolerance mating with the receiver when in the loaded and locked position, but may also be configured to provide space for accommodating debris/elements that enter the firearm so that bolt movement is not hindered by the debris/elements, and operation of the bolt, including cycling of the bolt in the firearm action when the shooter goes to load the next round, is smooth and consistent.

Abstract: A build system stores source code in source code repositories and generates deployment artifacts from a build pipeline. The build system receives requirements associated with certification criteria for certifying a deployment artifact based on the source code. The build system executes a build pipeline including build tasks that compile the source code to generate executable files storing executable instructions. The build system evaluates the certification criteria based on results of execution of the build tasks. The build system determines whether the deployment artifact is a certified deployment artifact based on the result of evaluation of the certification criteria. The build system stores a software asset information document in a source code repository identifying software assets build using the source code repository, for example, as a YAML file.

Abstract: Many devices may comprise interfaces, such as serial interfaces, over which configuration and/or enablement/disablement of device features may be provided to the device. Connecting a computer to individual devices for manual configuration may be cumbersome and/or time consuming. Accordingly, as provided herein, a device interfacing component (e.g., a microcontroller integrated into an interface cable) is configured to couple to a target device. The device interfacing component may receive data streams from the target device, and may match strings, within the data streams, to expressions. If a string matches an expression (e.g., “F5 for IP setup”), then a corresponding scripted response may be executed to send a response instruction (F5, wait 10 seconds, enter key, “192,168.0.1”) to the target device.

Abstract: A request for geographic content is received from a client device. The request includes (i) an indication that a user invoked the digital mapping service in a vehicle and (ii) an identifier of the user. In response to the request, profile data for the user including indications of previous interactions of the user with a digital mapping service is automatically retrieved. Geographic content is generated based on the indications of previous interactions in view of relevance of the previous interactions to an automotive context. The geographic content is provided to the client device for presentation in the vehicle.

Abstract: Firearms, and components of firearms, improve shooting accuracy, due to increased coaxial alignment between the receiver and the barrel of the firearm. The outer surface of the barrel and the receiver inner surface feature extremely-tight-tolerance/press-fit mating of one or more outer axial mating surfaces of the barrel with one or more axial portions of the receiver inner surface. The extremely-tight-tolerance/press-fit axial mating surfaces may be distal of, proximal of, in-between, and/or otherwise outside and separate from the threads or conventional connection means for connecting the barrel to the receiver.

Abstract: A system to improve real-time generation of a graphical user interface for overlapping electronic content is described. The system retrieves, responsive to a search request input into a computing device and received via a computer network, places of interest from a places of interest database, and content items from a content item database. The system selects, based on a heuristic technique, a content item as a match for a place of interest. The system combines the content item with the place of interest to prevent a first marker of the content item from obscuring a second marker of the place of interest. The system renders, for display on the graphical user interface via the computing device, a single marker for the content item and the place of interest combined to prevent the first marker of the content item from obscuring the second marker of the place of interest.

Abstract: Components of a firearm having a bolt with locking lugs improve shooting accuracy, due to increased coaxial alignment between the bolt, the cartridge, the receiver, and/or the barrel of a firearm. The receiver inner surface is shaped for lug-cleaning and for close tolerance/mating with the lugs only in the locked position and also with a non-threaded, axial surface of the barrel. Thus, the mating surfaces that are instrumental and/or that mainly control coaxial alignment of the receiver, bolt, and barrel are located between the lug stops and the threaded end of the receiver. The lugs may be axially curved or otherwise axially non-linear to tolerate dirt and other debris in a field environment.

Abstract: This document describes systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for sharing navigation data among computing devices. The techniques can include identifying, by a first computing device, a second computing device, based on the first computing device detecting an audio signal emitted by one or more speakers of the second computing device, wherein the second computing device is running a navigation application that has been programed to navigate a geographic route. Using information encoded in the audio signal that was emitted by the one or more speakers of the second computing device, the first computing device can determine the geographic route that the navigation application running on the second computing device has been programmed to navigate. A representation of the geographic route can be displayed on an electronic display of the first computing device.

Abstract: A portable device is configured to provide geographic information to a head unit of a vehicle equipped with a display device. One or more processors determine a user context related to a geographic location and detect that the portable device has been communicatively coupled to the head unit of a vehicle. The one or more processors transmit to the head unit, without an express user command, a request that the head unit accept data from the portable device for output via the display device. In response to receiving an indication that that the request has been granted, the one or more processors cause information related to the geographic location to be displayed via the display device, without an express user input at the portable device.

Abstract: To allow a user to provide a voice instruction to either a portable device or a computing device embedded within a vehicle, both the portable device and the embedded computing device receive the voice instruction such as, “Direct me to Kansas City.” Moreover, both the portable device and the embedded computing device may determine the likelihoods that the portable device and the computing device, respectively, can carry out the voice instruction. The portable device and the computing device may then communicate with each other to compare the determined likelihoods. Based on the comparison, either the portable device or the computing device may respond to the voice instruction by, for example, playing a requested song, turning on the radio in the vehicle, providing navigation directions from the current location to a destination, etc.

Abstract: In a method for exchanging navigation data between a portable device and a head unit of a vehicle, implemented in a portable device that includes one or more processors executing a navigation service application and a companion application, the navigation service application sends a destination to a navigation server, and receives first navigation data from the navigation server. The first navigation data describes at least one of a plurality of steps for navigating between a source and the destination. A companion application invokes a navigation application programming interface (API) of the navigation service application, at by using a syntax and a list of parameters specific to the navigation API to obtain, from the navigation service application, the first navigation data, and sends the first navigation data to the head unit to cause the head unit to display navigation information indicating at least the one of the plurality of navigation steps.
