  • Publication number: 20220057161
    Abstract: A firearm flash arrestor device may include a housing having a housing cavity. An entrance cap, having an entrance aperture, may be coupled to a first end of the housing, and an exit cap, having an exit aperture, may be coupled to an opposing second end of the housing. The device may also include one or more baffles configured to be positioned within the housing cavity. Each baffle may include a baffle wall that may be coupled to a baffle plate, a central aperture that may be disposed in the baffle plate, and one or more peripheral apertures that may be formed into the baffle plate and baffle wall. The one or more baffles may be disposed in the housing cavity so that the central aperture of each baffle is aligned with the entrance aperture and exit aperture to provide a path for a projectile to travel through the device.

  • Patent number: 11176485
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a system building a first machine-learning module and one or more secondary machine-learning modules for operating with an application. The first and second modules may be configured to utilize, in operation, particular types of processing hardware, respectively. The system may receive from a client device a request to download the application, and in response send to the device the application with the first module. The system may then receive another request to download a selected one of the secondary modules, which may be selected based on a determination by the application running on the device that the associated type of processing hardware is available. In response, the system may send the selected module to the device. The application may be configured to selectively use the first module or the selected module to perform an operation.

  • Publication number: 20210287806
    Abstract: A method for remotely monitoring one or more patients may include receiving a transmission of one or more patient assessments of current health of each patient, determining a trending index for each patient based on a baseline medical risk of the patient, a social exposure risk of the patient, and at least one patient assessment for the patient; and triaging the one or more patients according to medical risk associated with the contagious disease based on the trending index. The patient assessment may, for example, include an evaluation of at least one of: at least one symptom associated with a contagious disease and at least one vital sign associated with the contagious disease. The method and associated systems may be used, for example, to monitor and/or triage patients in the outpatient setting, to help manage patients who are at medical risk for a contagious disease.
