Patent number: 11859943Abstract: A dart pistol utilizes an assembly of a pistol body, a launch channel, a carriage, a mainspring, an operating bar, an engagement feature, a trigger member, and a retainer pin to adapt a conventional game of throwing darts into a shooting sport. The launch channel is formed into the pistol body such that the carriage, mainspring, and operating bar are slidably mounted between a fore body end and a rear body end. The mainspring is connected between the carriage and the fore body end to impart a launching force to at least one projectile via the carriage. The retainer pin is laterally mounted into the channel to capture the engagement feature of the operating bar until dislodged by the trigger member. The trigger member is pivotably mounted to the pistol body, operatively coupling the trigger member to the operating bar to fire the dart pistol.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Inventor: Edward Winters

Publication number: 20180363422Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for duplicating a shear rate of a fluid in a process system and for sensing one or more properties at that shear rate. In some embodiments the process system is a blending system for frack water. In some embodiments, the systems comprise two spools: one spool containing a pH sensor and an oxidation reduction potential sensor whereby a controller senses the corresponding properties of the water therein. And whereby, if her sensed property is outside of a corresponding user selected range, the controller closes a valve to isolate the system from the process. Note that that systems of embodiments further comprise flow control valves to set a flowrate in the system to a value consistent with match a share rate in a process system with which the system might be in fluid communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: William Wythe Roberts, IV, Alex Edward Winter
