Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for determining whether a user is holding a gun. The gun may include a sensor, such as a laser proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a load cell, an accelerometer, or a biometric sensor, and the gun may determine whether a user is holding the gun based on an output generated by the sensor. A processor housed in the gun may identify activation of a proximity sensor, determine that a user is holding the gun based on the activation of the proximity sensor, and perform an action in response to determining that the user is holding the gun. The action performed by the processor may include performing a boot procedure, performing a health check procedure, visually indicating state information about the gun, audibly indicating state information about the gun, or tactilely indicating state information about the gun.

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.

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.

Abstract: An insulating device can include a body assembly and a lid assembly where an insulating layer is connected to both the body assembly and the lid assembly. An aperture with a closure is formed between the body assembly and lid assembly to form a storage compartment. An insulating tab may be formed from a portion of the insulating layer and an inner liner of the body assembly to help insulate the closure region. In addition, a first magnetic element may be secured within the insulating tab that may engage a second magnetic element secured within the lid assembly.

Abstract: A container device with an outer shell that has an opening that is sealed by a closure mechanism. The closure mechanism may include resealable closure elements that are configured to partially or wholly seal the opening. In some examples, the closure elements may be magnetic strips. In addition, the closure mechanism may include curved members to prevent the opening from closing when the closure mechanism is in an open configuration.

Abstract: A blanket formed from multiple layers including a fabric layer on the top and a base layer on the bottom where the base layer may include a waterproof coating on at least one side. The blanket may also include an insulation layer and an adhesive scrim layer positioned between the fabric layer and the base layer. The layers of the blanket may be attached using a combination of stitching along with an adhesive to form a blanket that is waterproof and is secured together such that the fabric layer does not move relative to the base layer.

Abstract: An insulating device may include an outer shell, an inner liner forming a storage compartment, an insulating closed cell foam layer positioned in between the outer shell and the inner liner, an opening configured to allow access to the storage compartment, and a closure configured to seal the opening. A temperature of the storage compartment may be configured to gain between 0.5 and 1.5° F./hr from 0° F. to 50° F. while the insulating device is in an approximately 100° F. ambient environment and the opening is sealed by the closure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques, systems, and devices that support indicating gun state information. One or more electronic components may be used to indicate the gun state information, and the electronic components may be coupled with a gun. The gun may identify a state of the gun based on a compute component including a data signal, and the compute component may be coupled with the gun. The gun may select a representation of the state of the gun, where the representation of the state of the gun is compatible with an electronic component coupled with the gun. The gun may indicate, at the electronic component and based on the compute component, the state of the gun with the representation of the state of the gun. Indicating the state of the gun may include displaying an icon, illuminating the electronic component with a color, or pulsating the electronic component.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for determining a grip layout for a gun. The techniques include obtaining an image depicting a hand, obtaining calibration data associated with the image, calculating a real distance between a first landmark of the hand and a second landmark of the hand, and determining a grip layout for the gun based on the real distance between the first landmark and the second landmark. Calibration data may include a scale for the image or data that may be used to derive the scale, such as an object of known dimensions, an angular field of view, or a distance between the device used to capture the image and the hand. The grip layout may include a backstrap size, a sensor size, a sensor location on the gun, or any combination thereof.
