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.

Patent number: 10672399Abstract: Techniques are provided for creating a mapping that maps locations in audio data (e.g., an audio book) to corresponding locations in text data (e.g., an e-book). Techniques are provided for using a mapping between audio data and text data, whether the mapping is created automatically or manually. A mapping may be used for bookmark switching where a bookmark established in one version of a digital work (e.g., e-book) is used to identify a corresponding location with another version of the digital work (e.g., an audio book). Alternatively, the mapping may be used to play audio that corresponds to text selected by a user. Alternatively, the mapping may be used to automatically highlight text in response to audio that corresponds to the text being played. Alternatively, the mapping may be used to determine where an annotation created in one media context (e.g., audio) will be consumed in another media context.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Alan C. Cannistraro, Gregory S. Robbin, Casey M. Dougherty, Raymond Walsh, Melissa Breglio Hajj

Patent number: 10664856Abstract: Techniques and systems for beacon triggered code redemption are disclosed. Such a technique can include causing a mobile device to listen for beacon messages broadcast by a beacon device over a short-range communication link; receiving a beacon message from the beacon device; and exchanging information with a content provider to retrieve a redemption code associated with the beacon message. A beacon message can include a beacon identifier and an activity parameter specifying a code redemption action. The beacon identifier can be associated with an event that will occur, is occurring, or has occurred in the vicinity of the beacon device. The technique can further include displaying on a screen of the mobile device, a notification in regard to redeeming the redemption code configured for redeeming content associated with the event.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gregory S. Robbin, Oliver Krevet, Jeremy C. Norberg, Claes S. Nygren
