Abstract: A bolt assembly that includes a bolt defining at least one bolt opening and an extractor that is configured to pivot relative to the bolt. The extractor may define at least one extractor opening. The bolt assembly may include a pin positioned within the at least one bolt opening and the at least one extractor opening. The bolt assembly may include a retainer that is positioned inward relative to an exterior surface of the bolt assembly. The retainer may be removably coupled to the pin.

Abstract: Trigger assemblies are provided for restraining a firing pin of a firearm on a selective basis. The triggers assemblies include a first and a second lever mounted for rotation within a housing. The first lever is configured to be rotated by the user, and rotation of the first lever imparts rotation to the second lever to initiate the discharge of the firearm. The trigger assemblies also include a safety mechanism having a safety lever that is movable between a first and a second angular position. The safety lever is configured to prevent movement of the first and second levers when the safety lever is in its first angular position, thereby preventing discharge of the firearm.

The first lever is configured to be rotated by the user, and rotation of the first lever imparts rotation to the second lever to initiate the discharge of the firearm. The trigger assemblies have a safety mechanism that includes an interfering member configured to be positioned in proximity to the first and the second levers on a selective basis so that the interfering member simultaneously interferes with movement of both the first and the second levers, and thereby provides multiple points of interference that each prevent discharge of the firearm.

Abstract: Database management and security is implemented in a variety of embodiments. In one such embodiment, data sets containing sensitive data elements are analyzed using aliases representing sensitive data elements. In another embodiment, the sensitive data elements are stored in an encrypted form for use from a secure access, while the alias is available for standard access.
