Patent number: 8826580Abstract: The present invention relates to a telescoping leg for a firearm such as a rifle. The leg includes a pair of telescopically slidable elongated members. The first member is configured to be fixed to the stock of a rifle. The second member is telescopically slidable relative to the first member between a retracted position and an extended position. The leg also includes a biasing means to bias the second member towards the extended position and a damper means for damping the movement of the second member between the retracted and extended positions. In one form, one of the first member and the second member is a casing having an inner surface defining in part a gas chamber, the other one of the first member and the second member is a piston received at least partially in the casing for reciprocation along an axis between the retracted and extended positions. The biasing means includes a compressible gas contained in the chamber that yieldably biases the piston towards the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Inventor: Gavin William Lewis

Patent number: 8719766Abstract: A mechanism for identifying and adding files to a project manifest is discussed. A combination of techniques is used in order to identify the files that should be listed in a project manifest. The combined techniques include the programmatic examination of a storage location marked as associated with a project to identify project files. The identified files are automatically added to a project manifest. In one embodiment the identified files are subjected to filtering criteria before being added to the project manifest. In addition, embodiments of the present invention perform a static analysis of at least one file associated with the project to identify file dependencies. The identified files are also added to the project manifest. The integrated development environment (IDE) also provides a user interface enabling a user to manually add files to the project manifest.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: The Math Works, Inc.Inventors: Gavin William Walker, Malcolm Alexander Wood, Robert O. Aberg

Patent number: 7047605Abstract: A vehicle (10) is used to lift the buried lid of a crypt and any soil or turf overlying the lid. The vehicle (10) has a mobile frame (14) which can be positioned over the lid. An attachment frame (11) is suspended from a subframe (12) within the mobile frame (14), the subframe (12) being adjustable laterally relative to the frame (14). The attachment frame (11) has winch cables (19) adapted to be connected to respective attachment fittings on the lid. Hydraulic cylinders (13) are used to raise the attachment frame (11) relative to the mobile frame (14), and thereby lift the lid and any overlying soil/turf. The raised lid can be transported while suspended from the vehicle (10), and subsequently returned for replacement on its crypt in a reverse procedure.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Rockhampton City CouncilInventor: Gavin William Kele

Patent number: 6370745Abstract: A burial crypt arrangement comprises precast concrete cells (1) arranged in rows, with the cells (1) in each row being spaced apart and staggered relative to the cells (1) in adjacent rows. The corners (3) of cells (1) in a row are juxtaposed with the diagonally opposite corners of cells in adjacent rows. In this manner, both the spaces within cells, and the spaces between cells, can be used as burial chambers. Each cell (1) is formed by a continuous wall (2) of rectangular shape. Cells may be stacked vertically. The thickness of the wall (2) is tapered, being thicker at the top than the bottom, so that a ledge (9) is formed at the junction of stacked cells. An intermediate lid (10) can be supported in each burial chamber by the ledges (9). Each burial chamber is closed by a top lid (12). A trailer (17) can be used to raise and transport the lids (12).Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1998Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Rockhampton City CouncilInventors: Gavin William Kele, Michael Drew Wickerson, Thomas Allen Wyatt, Laurence Edwin Georgeson
