Patent number: 11940254Abstract: A projectile designed to be lead-free and have a ballistic coefficient ranging from about 0.13 to about 0.80 or greater for enhanced energy/performance at extended ranges may have an elongated body formed with a jacket including a wall having an end defining an ogive portion and a cavity or recess defined within the jacket and in which a core is received. The projectile can be configured in various calibers and sizes. The projectile core may be formed from a plurality of core sections, and at least one of the plurality of core sections may include tungsten powder and a lead-free binder material pressed together to form a substantially cylindrical shape or compact. One or more of the core sections further can be sintered, and the one or more core sections may be received in an end-to-end relationship within the cavity defined by the jacket to form a stacked, sectional core.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Barnes Bullets, LLCInventors: Jason Wesley Robbins, Carl Carter, Christopher Creed Crosby, Gregory S. Christensen, Mitchell Dean Kukson, Brian James Simons, Greggory Sloan, Michael Painter

Patent number: 10598756Abstract: A system for determining a source location of a firearm discharge includes a plurality of monitoring stations and a central processing system. Each of the monitoring stations determines a time value of identification of a firearm discharge signature and transmits the time value. The central processing system 1) receives the time value from each of the monitoring stations; 2) determines, based on the time values, a geographic area that includes the source location of the firearm discharge; 3) determines a time of acoustic propagation from each of a plurality of randomly selected locations within the geographic area to each of the monitoring stations; 4) identifies the source location of the firearm discharge as the selected location for which difference in the time of acoustic propagation to each of the monitoring stations is closest to difference in the time values received from each of the monitoring stations.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Mesa Engineering, Inc.Inventor: David Gregory Sloan

Patent number: 9103200Abstract: The invention provides a method of stimulation a subterranean formation to improve formation fluid production, the method comprising: providing a wellbore which penetrates the subterranean formation, wherein the wellbore comprises at least two perforation cluster zones; injecting a treatment fluid into the wellbore at a fluid pressure equal to or greater than the fracture initiate pressure of the subterranean formation; contacting the subterranean formation with the treatment fluid through a first perforation cluster zone; performing a shutin by stopping injection of the treatment fluid; waiting for a determined period of time, wherein no physical material is introduced into the wellbore and no significant reverse flow from the subterranean formation to the wellbore occurs during said period of time; resuming the introduction of the treatment fluid into the wellbore at a fluid pressure equal to or greater than the fracture initiate pressure of the subterranean formation; and contacting the subterranean formatType: GrantFiled: July 19, 2010Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Jason Baihly, Kevin W. England, Janice Gregory-Sloan

Patent number: 8211064Abstract: A catheter securement device includes a planar base having an adhesive side for attaching the base to a patient and a mounting side. A receptacle adapted to nest a catheter hub therein is mounted on the mounting side of the base. The receptacle is generally U-shaped in cross-section and is open along a top surface to receive a catheter hub. The receptacle has opposite side walls and front and rear ends. An endless elastic member is retained by one side wall of the receptacle. The endless elastic member is capable of manipulation and stretching over the opening in the top surface and beyond the opposite side wall of the receptacle to retain a catheter hub nested in the receptacle. A flange extends outwardly at the top surface of the opposite side wall to keep the elastic member in place when nesting a catheter hub in the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Centurion Medical Products CorporationInventor: Gregory A. Sloan

Publication number: 20080195050Abstract: A catheter and medical tubing securement device includes a layer member having an adhesive coated side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The adhesive coated side is adherable to a patient's skin. An adjacent tab is removably connected to the layer member. A user may manipulate the layer member by grasping the tab, and the tab may be removed from the layer member by tearing the tab from the layer member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2007Publication date: August 14, 2008Inventors: Aaron M. Dickert, Gregory A. Sloan
