Patent number: 11940254Abstract: A projectile designed to be lead-free and have a ballistic coefficient ranging from about 0.13 to about 0.80 or greater for enhanced energy/performance at extended ranges may have an elongated body formed with a jacket including a wall having an end defining an ogive portion and a cavity or recess defined within the jacket and in which a core is received. The projectile can be configured in various calibers and sizes. The projectile core may be formed from a plurality of core sections, and at least one of the plurality of core sections may include tungsten powder and a lead-free binder material pressed together to form a substantially cylindrical shape or compact. One or more of the core sections further can be sintered, and the one or more core sections may be received in an end-to-end relationship within the cavity defined by the jacket to form a stacked, sectional core.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Barnes Bullets, LLCInventors: Jason Wesley Robbins, Carl Carter, Christopher Creed Crosby, Gregory S.

Patent number: 11881316Abstract: There is a need for solutions that classification solutions in hierarchical prediction domains. In one embodiment, this need can be addressed by, for example, performing one or more online machine learning, co-occurrence analysis machine learning, structured fusion machine learning, and/or unstructured fusion machine learning. In one particular example, structured predictions inputs are processed in accordance with an online machine learning analysis to generate structurally hierarchical predictions and in accordance with a co-occurrence analysis machine learning analysis to generate structurally non-hierarchical predictions. Then, the structurally hierarchical predictions and the structurally non-hierarchical predictions in accordance with processed by a structured fusion model to generate structure-based predictions.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Optum Services (Ireland) LimitedInventors: David S.

Publication number: 20230346420Abstract: Devices and methods may allow for the removal of material from a remote location in the vasculature. In an example of such a remote location, the device may be used in the vasculature of a lower extremity in combination with an external cuff. The external cuff may create a dam preventing material from flowing throughout the body. With the external cuff in place, the device of the present disclosure may be utilized to suction the material from the vasculature while rotating the catheter to assist in the removal of the material.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Mehrdad Farhangnia, Thomas Davis, Theodore Karmon, Brian Carter Wolfe, Jonathan James Penrod

Publication number: 20230070953Abstract: A surgical training model can have features for training surgical suturing techniques. The training model can be formed as a sheet of simulated tissue having at least one cut with markings arranged on either side of the cut. The markings can be formed of a first layer of resilient simulated tissue material having a color that contrasts with a color of the remainder of the sheet of simulated tissue material. The sheet of simulated tissue material can have several cuts having different configurations and orientations to facilitate suturing training for a variety of tissue orientations. The sheet of simulated tissue material can further include holes positioned to be mounted to a base of a surgical training system. The sheet of simulated tissue material can be manufactured by molding a marking layer and casting a tissue layer over the marking layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Gregory K.

Publication number: 20220347573Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are provided for the selective indication of the presence of off-screen objects in the shared gaming environment of a multiplayer game played on a mobile device. The shared gaming environment can include a game space and a plurality of objects located at various places of the game space. The player may view a portion of the game space via a screen view presented by the mobile device. The screen view can be bordered by a frame area that includes a portion of the game space that is outside of the screen view. Based on a predetermined rule set, the presence of an object that is located within the frame area can be selectively indicated within the screen view by a visual indicator, such as an icon. The visual indicator can be assembled from a library of elements to visually communicate contextually relevant information to the player.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Kam-Wing Fung, Li Jia Tan, Brian Carter Feeney, Christina Norman
