  • Patent number: 9835446
    Abstract: A non-contacting deviation measurement system projects a first line and a second line upon a surface of an object. The projections of the first line and second line are arranged to overlap at an intersection line oriented at a nominal location such that when the surface is oriented at the nominal location, the intersection line appears on the surface. As the location of the surface deviates from the nominal location, the first line and second line as projected upon the surface move away from one another. The distance between the lines may be used to calculate the deviation from the nominal location. The deviation calculated may be compared to a predetermined maximum allowable deviation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5079814
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hollow point bullet and the product resulting therefrom. A core is first formed from a deformable first metal and the entire core is electroplated with a second metal. A partially electroplated cavity is then formed within one end of the core with slits through the second metal along the cavity walls. The core is formed into its final shape in such a manner that the walls of the cavity are inclined at a desired angle relative to the axis core and the slits are extended to the circumferential edge of the cavity.
