Patent number: 9702655Abstract: A system and method for a user's appendages when firing a weapon is described. One embodiment includes a cover kit for a firearm handguard. The kit has a base and an insert. The base has a longitudinal axis, an upright axis, a transverse axis, a socket, an exterior surface, and an interior surface. The insert has an insert body and a plug. The socket has a movable engagement prong shaped to engage a wall surface of a handguard slot. The plug has a prong engagement surface shaped to engage the engagement prong. The plug is shaped to apply a force on the engagement prong such that a distal portion of the engagement prong is flexed more than a proximal portion of the engagement prong.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Magpul Industries Corp.Inventors: Brian L. Nakayama, Christopher F. Miller, Michael T. Mayberry, Nicholas Kielsmeier, Richard M. Fitzpatrick

Patent number: 4414625Abstract: An apparatus in a microprogrammed digital data processing system is disclosed for reducing the time to select, from a plurality of available system condition signals in the system, one system condition signal to be tested during the performance of a microinstruction. The operation code portion of a new macroinstruction word is used to address a memory to output an associated one of a plurality of stored preselected signal patterns. In response to the outputted signal pattern, a first selection circuit preselects a set of system condition signals from the plurality of available system condition signals. A second selection circuit is responsive to a control signal provided by each microinstruction of the instruction for selecting a particular one of the set of system condition signals to be tested.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1980Date of Patent: November 8, 1983Assignee: Burroughs CorporationInventor: Christopher F. Miller
