Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques that can be implemented in a gun. The gun may include or be coupled with a slide cover. The slide cover may include a first slide cover recess along a latitudinal axis of the slide cover, the first slide cover recess comprising a first cavity of a first portion of the slide cover and a first cavity of a second portion of the slide cover. The slide cover may include a second slide cover recess along the latitudinal axis of the slide cover, the second slide cover recess comprising a second cavity of the first portion of the slide cover and a second cavity of the second portion of the slide cover. The slide cover may include a first retainer coupling a sight component with the slide cover such that a longitudinal axis of the sight component is substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the slide cover.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an attachment that can be fastened to a gun. The attachment may include a top surface having a longitudinal axis and an aiming sight that is parallel with the longitudinal axis, a front surface having a latitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the front surface including a muzzle aperture, a left surface, a right surface, and a fastening system. The fastening system may include a first mounting aperture of the left surface, a second mounting aperture of the right surface, and a locking pin capable of being positioned in the first mounting aperture and in the second mounting aperture such that the locking pin fastens the attachment to the gun. The attachment may be fastened to the gun such that the longitudinal axis is parallel with a longitudinal bore axis of the gun.

Abstract: A carrying case for wet canvas. The carrying case includes a base having a sidewall extending perpendicularly away therefrom, thereby defining an interior volume. A lid is securable to the sidewall, such that the lid encloses the interior volume when secured thereto. A tension bar is disposed on the base within the interior volume, wherein the tension bar can telescopically move between an extended position and a retracted position. A linear distance between a first side of the tension bar and a second side of the tension bar is greater when in the extended position. The first and second ends are designed to frictionally engage an interior surface of a canvas frame, thereby maintaining a position of the canvas within the interior volume such that an exterior of the canvas is preserved.

Abstract: Described are techniques for determining utilization. A plurality of indicator values for a plurality of utilization indicators for each system included in a set of one or more systems are received. Each of the plurality of indicator values represents a score for a different one of the plurality of utilization indicators. A system utilization score for each of the one or more systems is determined in accordance with the plurality of indicator values for each system. An overall utilization score of the set of systems is determined in accordance with the system utilization score for each of the one or more systems.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a Wake On LAN (WOL) computer system startup process that receives WOL instructions and control information for modifying the computer system startup process. The control information may be, for example, a password, or instructions to enter the system by bypassing a password. The password can be a system password or a hard drive password. The control information may be, for example, an instruction to boot up from another device, such as a network server. The control information may also be an instruction to disable Alert Standard Format (ASF) reporting. Thus, the boot up procedure can be reconfigured to a modified boot up sequence based upon control information provided as part of the WOL process.
