Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sensor timing correlation. One of the methods includes obtaining (i) first sensor data from a first sensor and (ii) second sensor data from a second sensor; detecting a representation of an object in both the first sensor data and the second sensor data; determining a predicted physical distance between a first representation of the object in the first sensor data and a second representation of the object in the second sensor data; determining a timing offset between the different sensors using the predicted physical distance between the first representation of the object and the second representation of the object; and adjusting, using the timing offset, subsequent data from the first sensor or the second sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bullet, in particular precision bullet, comprising a bullet core with a bow-side section, a tail-side section with a bullet base and a guide band located therebetween, and a bullet jacket completely surrounding the bullet core, wherein in the region of the bullet core tail axially offset from the guide band and/or in the region of a tail-side end face of the bullet core base and/or in the region of the bullet core bow axially offset from the guide band a profiling is placed, in accordance with the bullet jacket, adapts complementary in shape in in such a way that an anti-rotation structure is formed between the bullet jacket and the bullet core.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid projectile for ammunition in particular with a caliber of less than 13 mm, wherein the solid projectile is made of iron, in particular soft iron, with a carbon content of more than 0.05%.

Abstract: Summary The present invention relates to a bullet, in particular precision bullet, comprising a bullet core with a bow-side section, a tail-side section with a bullet base and a guide band located therebetween, and a bullet jacket completely surrounding the bullet core, wherein in the region of the bullet core tail axially offset from the guide band and/or in the region of a tail-side end face of the bullet core base and/or in the region of the bullet core bow axially offset from the guide band a profiling is placed, in accordance with the bullet jacket, adapts complementary in shape in in such a way that an anti-rotation structure is formed between the bullet jacket and the bullet core.

Abstract: Tracer ammunition for tracking the trajectory and/or the impact of projectiles in the target generally contains pyrotechnics. These pyrotechnics demonstrate various disadvantages, wherein the most serious is the continued burning of the pyrotechnics, even after penetration of the projectile in the target. This causes an increased risk of fire and acute injuries. A mixture of light metal and a carbon-containing substrate, ignites during firing of a projectile and burns during its flight by means of air oxygen introduced into the combustion chamber by way of tear-off edges, and produces a tracer that extinguishes in the target.

Abstract: A fragmentation projectile in one aspect has a frontal cavity and defined fragments of medium to high density. The fragments are nearly form fitting together to form a compact projectile until its impact on the target. To achieve these specific mechanical properties, Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods are applied.

Abstract: The invention relates to a projectile (5) with a frangible material, for short-range ammunition.

Abstract: A serial interface converter converts serial communications between two electronic devices, converting between to serial communication standards. The converter may include a housing with two standard cable ports, each for connecting to cables from one of the two electronic devices. The housing includes electrical connections between the two cable ports, where the electrical connections effect a remapping of the signals achieving the conversion. The housing can be rack-mountable.

Abstract: A thoraco-lumbar spine support/brace for correcting lateral spinal alignment. The brace comprises a frame member defined by two elongate bracing rods extending vertically in generally parallel relation to one another on opposed sides of the body of the wearer that extend generally from the wearer's shoulders to pelvis. Extending across the uppermost ends of the bracing rods is a posterior traction belt. At least two anterior traction slings are provided that extend across an intermediate portion of the bracing rods. A pelvic arch is further provided that extends across the bottom-most ends of the opposed bracing rod members. The posterior traction belt, anterior traction slings and pelvic arch may all be selectively positioned to impart a desired physiological orientation of the waerer's spine, and can be utilized to treat a given condition such as abnormal thoracic kyphosis, pelvic inclination and lumbar lordosis.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing scrapie in sheep or goats and chronic wasting disease in deer or elk is provided including detecting spectral changes between disease-positive samples and disease-negative samples providing a calibration model for use in classifying unknown samples as disease-positive or disease-negative.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in live or postmortem bovine animals prior to the onset of clinical BSE symptoms including detecting spectral changes between BSE-positive samples and BSE-negative samples thereby providing a predictive model and diagnostic test for classifying unknown samples as disease-positive or disease-negative.

Abstract: A thermally insulative and waterproof barrier for protecting an exterior surface includes a plurality of generally rectangular flexible blankets in overlapping disposition. Each blanket defines a body and a peripheral margin about edges of the body, edges of the bodies of adjacent blankets (including the base layer) overlapping. Each body includes at least one base layer of thermal insulation and two cover layers of waterproof material. The cover layers are sealed together peripherally about the base layer to form the peripheral margin and exclude water from the base layer.

Abstract: A small calibre projectile has an outer hollow cylindrical base member and a conical or ogive front region constructed to mushroom upon impact. A sleeve core is inserted into the cylindrical base member with a non-positive fit, the core extending beyond the front of the base member with a hollow space between the rear of the core and the rear of the base. Upon impact, the core is displaced axially into the space with its rear in contact with the base.

Abstract: A grain kit enables an agricultural forage box to also be used for handling grain. The kit includes a collector that mounts over the rear end of the forage box. The forage box rear gate may be held at a fixed slightly open position by the coaction of tabs on the rear gate and holding brackets fastened to the forage box side walls. The grain flows into the collector, from which it is discharged in a controlled stream through a floor opening. The discharge of the grain from the collector floor opening is controlled by a door. Apron chains on the forage box are controlled to suit the rate of discharge of the grain from the collector. A sweep brushes grain from the return runs of the apron chains. In a modified embodiment, an adjustment mechanism on the collector changes the pivoting of the rear gate.
