Abstract: Elements formed from magnetic materials and their methods of manufacture are presented. Magnetic materials include a magnetic alloy material, such as, for example, an Fe-Co alloy material (e.g., the Fe-Co-V alloy Hiperco-50(R)). The magnetic alloy materials may comprise a powdered material suitable for use in additive manufacturing techniques, such as, for example direct energy deposition or laser powder bed fusion. Manufacturing techniques include the use of variable deposition time and energy to control the magnetic and structural properties of the materials by altering the microstructure and residual stresses within the material. Manufacturing techniques also include post deposition processing, such as, for example, machining and heat treating. Heat treating may include a multi-step process during which the material is heated, held and then cooled in a series of controlled steps such that a specific history of stored internal energy is created within the material.

Abstract: A firing pin lock for firearms is provided. The firing pin lock is a single piece of resilient metal that includes a pocket for receiving the head of the firing pin to prevent inadvertent discharge of the firearm. The firing pin lock can be mounted laterally in the bolt carrier group and is deflected outwardly by the action of the hammer.

Abstract: A yo-yo has at least one sensor configured to measure a parameter related to movement of the yo-yo, a transmitter configured to transmit the measured parameter to the computing device. A server is configured to determine a trick performed with the yo-yo based on the measured parameter, and to communicate the determination to one or more computing devices of different players.

Abstract: A system of racks comprising of at least two racks that can be nested together when they are not in use thereby minimizing the space required for their collective storage. Each rack is comprised of a frame having two or more frame elements linked together by at least one Z-shaped bracket. Each frame element is comprised of two vertical support members linked by a plurality of tray holders at spaced apart distances along the interior side(s) of the vertical support members. The plurality of tray holders on each of the frame elements linked by a Z-shaped bracket are substantially aligned in the vertical direction thereby forming a set of pairs of tray holders. Each pair of tray holders is configured to receive and support the placement of trays. The trays comprise of a flat base portion with upstanding side edges which may be welded to a wire element to reduce crevices where debris and contaminants may otherwise be trapped and to assist with cleaning of the trays.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; first instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the first instructions to manage an instruction queue. The instruction queue includes indications of second instructions to be executed at a component server. The processor circuitry is to add a first indication of a corresponding one of the second instructions to the instruction queue. The first indication is to identify: (1) a location of the second instruction and (2) a format of the second instruction. In response to a second indication that the second instruction has been executed, the processor circuitry is to remove the first indication from the instruction queue.
