  • Patent number: 9810493
    Abstract: Magazine release apparatus and firearms including such magazine release apparatus are disclosed. An example bolt release for use with a firearm includes a first handle to protrude from a first side of the firearm and a second handle to protrude from a second side of the firearm. The first and second handles are integral. The first and second handles are to enable the bolt release to be operable from the first and second sides of the firearm. The bolt release includes a pivot axis adjacent the first side or the second side. The pivot axis is to enable the bolt release to be pivoted between a release position and a retained position. The bolt release to be biased toward the release position.

  • Patent number: 9052155
    Abstract: A firearm includes a cocking lever, a shoulder-stock receptacle and a shoulder support having a shoulder stock configured to be joined by a connector to the shoulder-stock receptacle. A shoulder-stock adjuster is configured to adjust a position of the shoulder stock relative to the shoulder-stock receptacle along an adjustment axis. A cheek rest is mounted via a bearing on the shoulder stock so as to be movable in a direction parallel to the adjustment axis. A stop is disposed on the shoulder-stock receptacle so as to limit a movement path of the cheek rest towards a front of the firearm. At a position of the cheek rest defined by the stop of the shoulder-stock receptacle, the cocking lever does not collide with the cheek rest, even in a completely retracted state.

  • Patent number: 8480329
    Abstract: Coupling pins for connecting weapon components are described. An example fastener to couple weapon components includes an elongated body defining a first aperture. The first aperture being defined along a longitudinal axis of the elongated body. Tension member and a biasing element being positioned within the first aperture. The elongated body defining a second aperture. The second aperture being defined through a portion of the elongated body to enable a tension element, positioned at least partially within the second aperture, to be urged from the elongated by via an interaction with the tension member. The fastener is insertable into aligned apertures of respective first and second weapon components. The tension element being urged from the elongated body to interact with the second weapon component to urge the second weapon component into further engagement with the first weapon component.

  • Patent number: 8158485
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a substrate with a first layer situated on the substrate. The first layer defines a first opening with a cover layer deposited on the first layer and coating a sidewall portion of the first opening. A second layer is situated on the cover layer. The second layer defines a second opening extending through the second layer and through the cover layer to connect the first and second openings.

  • Patent number: 6939805
    Abstract: To fabricate a trench capacitor in a substrate, a trench is formed in the substrate. The trench has an upper region and a lower region. In the trench, first of all nanocrystallites and/or a seed layer for nanocrystallites are deposited in the upper region and the lower region. Then, the nanocrystallites and/or the seed layer are removed from the upper region of the trench by means of an etching process. The etching parameters of the etching process are selected in such a way that the seed layer and/or the nanocrystallites which are uncovered in the upper region and the lower region are removed only from the upper region. Consequently, an expensive mask layer can be avoided in the lower region of the trench.

  • Patent number: 6777303
    Abstract: A trench capacitor is formed with an insulation collar. After the formation of the trench, firstly an insulating layer is deposited, from which layer the insulation collar will be subsequently formed. Afterward, the trench is partly filled with a sacrificial filling material and a thin patterning layer is deposited thereon. Spacers are formed from that layer and cover the insulating layer in the upper region of the trench. Afterward, the sacrificial filling material and the insulating layer are completely removed in the lower region of the trench. As a result, the insulation collar is produced in the upper region of the trench.
