  • Patent number: 11215418
    Abstract: An in-weapon sensor enables electronic measurement of the firing pin indent force of a weapon system. The in-weapon sensor measures, either directly or indirectly, the indent force of the firing pin and communicates the information outside of the weapon to a data capture device. The data capture device provides a visual indication as to whether the firing pin indent force is sufficient or insufficient.

  • Patent number: 5495294
    Abstract: A synchronizing signal separator receives synchronizing signals from a remote source. A window generator opens a window for a period and a counter regenerates synchronizing signals detected when the window is open. Detection of an incoming synchronizing signal when the window is open causes a window counter to be stopped to reduce the window duration to approach a set minimum width. The window generator and the counter are controlled by a voltage controlled oscillator whose oscillation frequency varies according to a feedback signal derived from the sense of the phase error between an external counter of the window generator and the regeneration counter.
