Patent number: 12239053Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2024Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Inventor: Douglas Lawrence

Publication number: 20230021170Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: SureFire, LLCInventors: Barry William Dueck, Michael Standen, Eric Hung Leung Chow, Ryan Steven Glasby, Douglas Lawrence Stefanski

Publication number: 20220134450Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2021Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: iKeyless, LLCInventors: Douglas Lawrence Robertson, Adam Lee Pizer, Jon Determann, Florian Luaire, Pradnya Deokar
