  • Publication number: 20250109823
    Abstract: A method, deck clip and stage system for attaching accessories to a platform member. A platform member having an edge rail having a first channel along a first surface of the edge rail and a second channel along a second surface is provided. A deck clip is provided having a profile including a first protrusion extending from a first portion of the deck clip and a second protrusion extending from a second portion of the deck clip. A spring feature is disposed between the first portion and second portion. The spring feature is arranged and disposed to provide a clipping force between the first protrusion and the first channel and the second protrusion and the second channel when engaged. The first protrusion is directed into the first channel and the second protrusion is directed into the second channel to detachably engage the deck clip to the platform member.

  • Patent number: 12239053
    Abstract: A dynamic controllable system for moderating energy absorption at the earth's surface includes a series of panel units mounted above the earth's surface over land and water masses or on buildings. Each panel unit supports rotatable shafts, with panels joined to or integrally formed with the shafts. Each panel (forcing) has a radiation reflective surface and a radiation emissive surface opposite the radiation reflective surface. The panels are selectively rotated into a predetermined one cardinal positions: reflective, emissive and neutral, or into an intermediate position between cardinal positions. The programmable controller receives various data including top of atmosphere satellite data, air temperature and relative humidity at panel units, weather data, time of day, position of panel units, radiation insolation, and combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 12139273
    Abstract: A recoil device is provided for a gun having a barrel with a breech. The device includes a breech nut, a brake assembly, a pneumatic spring and a counter-recoil buffer. The breech nut has first and second adjacent sides. The brake assembly includes a brake cylinder that mounts to the breech nut on the first side. The pneumatic spring mounts to the breech nut on the second side. The counter-recoil buffer attaches to the pneumatic spring. The brake cylinder and the pneumatic spring internally push fluids for recoil absorption and return in response to firing the gun.

  • Publication number: 20240001392
    Abstract: The present invention is a support system made of collapsible stands to hold moulding and trim for the purpose of painting and drying. The stands fold flat for easy storage, setup quickly, and allow the painter to easily paint many pieces of trim on a relatively small footprint compared to what most painters currently use—buckets and 2×4's or sawhorses.

  • Publication number: 20230206421
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of replicating or copying keys. More specifically, the present invention relates to creating a copy of a master key based on a captured image of the master key. The present invention identifies a set of target key information based on the image of the master key to provide for the cutting of a duplicate key blade copy to be shipped to a user. Additional key information may also be captured along with the image of the master key.

  • Publication number: 20230021170
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for a suppressor to be coupled with a muzzle end of a barrel of a firearm to reduce muzzle blast and muzzle flash. The suppressor comprises a housing having a proximal end and a distal end. A front portion within the housing comprises a series of cylindrical gas expansion chambers for attenuating the temperature and energy of propellant gases accompanying a projectile fired from the firearm. An annular gas expansion chamber surrounds the cylindrical gas expansion chambers and directs a portion of the propellant gases from a rear portion of the suppressor to peripheral vents disposed at the distal end. Lateral chambers within the rear portion deflect and rebound a portion of the propellant gases before passing them into the annular gas expansion chamber. Ledges within the annular gas expansion chamber direct the propellant gases distally through suppressor toward the peripheral vents.

  • Publication number: 20220134450
    Abstract: A system and method to automatically extract bitting information, such as keycode information, for replicating original/master key. System comprises an imaging device that scans the key blade of the original key and sends images to the server where the keycode gets extracted using an iterative software algorithm based on maximum likelihood principle. In one example a system comprises a kiosk which includes SBC (Single Board Computer), imaging device, touch screen and transponder identification module determines compatible SKU (from internal SKU database) if needed, and a compatible key with a matched cut key blade gets delivered to the location of Kiosk to get paired to the car. Another type system comprises a Smartphone/tablet with CKE application instead of KIOSK to scan the original keyblade. The application sends images to a central server for decoding and cutting a duplicate key, and a compatible duplicate key with matched cut key blade is delivered to the associated customer.

  • Publication number: 20220139138
    Abstract: A kiosk-based system provides enhanced processes for replicating or copying keys including automotive keys and including transponder keys requiring programming. A set of user interfaces guides users through master key identifying, key blank selecting, master key scanning and duplicate key cutting processes as well as programming programmable keys. The invention provides a Quick Reference redundancy to add an additional layer of accuracy to avoid errors in selecting key blanks and in cutting selected key blanks. The system creates a copy or duplicate of a master key based on a captured image of the master key and stored key data.
