Abstract: An apparatus comprising first circuitry to determine a time parameter associated with a storage operation; and second circuitry to generate a storage command, the storage command including the time parameter, a location for the storage operation, and an opcode specifying the storage operation.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter is directed to systems and apparatuses that are designed to work in cooperation with a firearm such that the firearm can fire a less lethal projectile. Systems can include a mounting device that clips onto a firearm, where that mounting device also include mounting posts. The mounting posts protrude from an end of the mounting device, and the mounting posts are designed to couple with mounting holes on an associated slug. Slugs of the inventive subject matter thus feature mounting holes and a center-bored hole that is designed to capture a bullet that is fired from a firearm that the system is coupled to. When a bullet is captured by a slug, an inelastic collision takes place that causes the slug to leave the firearm at around 20% of the bullet's original speed.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate generally to a device configured to securely but removably house a charger plug (e.g. for an iPhone, smart phone, cell phone, or similar personal electronic device). Typically, the device comprises a hollow central housing with open cavity therethrough (configured to house the charger plug), an upper flange, and a lower flange. A cord for the changer plug may be retained by wrapping around the exterior of the housing between the two flanges, and in some embodiments, the flanges may also contain one or more cord retaining features (such as a notch) configured to removably retain the cord.

Abstract: A compressor wheel assembly for a forced induction device includes an impeller member and a plate member. The impeller member is formed of a polymer material, and includes a hub portion and a plurality of blades extending from an outer surface of the hub portion. The hub portion includes an outer peripheral portion formed therewith. The plate member is connected to the outer peripheral portion of the impeller member to be rotationally fixed thereto. The plate member being formed of a metal material.

Abstract: Improvement in a ballistic resistant material is disclosed. The material uses unidirectional laid aramid of fibers that. The fibers are laid in a unidirectional arrangement that allows the fibers to essentially nest together to create a more dense and thinner material. The fibers can be different and can include fiberglass to graphite or any combination of fibers or alloys that the application requires including electrically conductive and non-electrically conductive, flammable and non-flammable, water restraint to non-water restraint, buoyant and non-buoyant materials. The material is bonded with NANO technology that fills in the gaps in the molecular structure of the adhesives that can contain petroleum and nonpetroleum based adhesives depending on the application.

Abstract: Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile that is mated to a docking base by way of a spherical shaped projectile ball in a retaining spherical sockets or base. The projectile ball may include a locating/orienting that locates the projectile ball in the docking base. The retaining socket has one or more wings that partially wrap around the projectile ball. The material, thickness and splits in the socket adjust the retention force placed on the projectile ball. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system.

Abstract: Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile, such as a rubber-encapsulated metal block, that is mated to a docking base by way of a mounting pins or base. The projectile may be made with a cavity located in its rearward section for enabling the projectile to fit onto the mounting pins portion of the docking base through compression or interference fit. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system. The mounting pins are configured to provide clearance to the sighting mechanism on the firearm.
