  • Publication number: 20240175653
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for authenticating a user at gun. The gun may include an authentication manager capable of implementing logic, processing signals, or executing instructions. The authentication manager may receive first query data from a first authentication sensor of the gun, receive second query data from a second authentication sensor of the gun, perform an authentication procedure to determine whether the first query data or the second query data matches enrollment data, where a match is determined based on the first query data or the second query data and the enrollment data satisfying a similarity threshold. The authentication manager may determine that the user is authorized to operate the gun and transmit a signal in response to the determining that the user is authorized to operate the gun. The signal may cause the gun to enter an active state which allows the gun to be fired.

  • Patent number: 11933570
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques that can be implemented in a gun. The gun may include or be coupled with a slide cover. The slide cover may include a first slide cover recess along a latitudinal axis of the slide cover, the first slide cover recess comprising a first cavity of a first portion of the slide cover and a first cavity of a second portion of the slide cover. The slide cover may include a second slide cover recess along the latitudinal axis of the slide cover, the second slide cover recess comprising a second cavity of the first portion of the slide cover and a second cavity of the second portion of the slide cover. The slide cover may include a first retainer coupling a sight component with the slide cover such that a longitudinal axis of the sight component is substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the slide cover.

  • Patent number: 11913744
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an attachment that can be fastened to a gun. The attachment may include a top surface having a longitudinal axis and an aiming sight that is parallel with the longitudinal axis, a front surface having a latitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the front surface including a muzzle aperture, a left surface, a right surface, and a fastening system. The fastening system may include a first mounting aperture of the left surface, a second mounting aperture of the right surface, and a locking pin capable of being positioned in the first mounting aperture and in the second mounting aperture such that the locking pin fastens the attachment to the gun. The attachment may be fastened to the gun such that the longitudinal axis is parallel with a longitudinal bore axis of the gun.

  • Publication number: 20210212622
    Abstract: A jaw function measurement apparatus comprises a mastication measurement device having a pliable body, the pliable body defining at least one bite location having at least one force sensor therein. A data collection device is in data communication with the mastication measurement device. Also, a data analysis device is in data communication with the data collection device, which converts data collected by the data collection device into a format suitable for output. Moreover, an input output device is in data communication with the data analysis device 106 that outputs measured bite force.
