  • Publication number: 20230405852
    Abstract: A folding knife with replaceable blade is movable between an extended state, a hyperextended state, and a folded state. A blade mounted to a holding assembly is replaceable when the folding knife is in the hyperextended state. The blade comprises a catch that requires a particular alignment, provided by the hyperextended state, to be inserted and removed. In this manner, the blade may not be removed from the holding assembly while in the folded and extended states.

  • Publication number: 20230057114
    Abstract: A two-way radio device for hearing protection devices provides communication capabilities to users wearing hearing protection devices, which would ordinarily hinder or block communication. The two-way radio device removably attaches to a portion of a hearing protection device and connects to the speakers thereof. One or more wireless transceivers provide wireless transmission of audio between users of hearing protection devices enhanced with the two-way radio device. Users remain protected by their hearing protection devices and while communicating freely in high decibel environments.

  • Patent number: 11452298
    Abstract: An improved game washer is compatible with a variety of receptacles and includes one or more cradles for receiving and holding various types of game. Agitation for washing game is provided via one or more water flows at one or more outlets of an agitator. An outlet engages a bottom of a cradle to provide water flow at the cradle. The agitator extends out of an opening of a receptacle at a central portion thereof to receive a water supply, while forming a gap at the opening to permit a flow of water and waste material out of the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 11275292
    Abstract: A viewing device captures one or more images from a spotting scope. A communication device transmits the images to one or more remote display devices. A self-aligning mount allows the viewing device to be automatically aligned with an optical pathway of the spotting scope as it is attached thereto. An adjustment ring allows focusing adjustments to be made to the spotting scope, even after the viewing device is attached. With the viewing device, a user need not physically move to peer through the spotting scope, since images from the spotting scope may be remotely viewed at one or more remote display devices. In addition to spotting scopes, the viewing device may be used with other optical devices, such as binoculars, telescopes, rifle scopes, microscopes, and other optics.

  • Publication number: 20210049525
    Abstract: A program model that includes requirements and control objects associated with requirements, workflows, proof assets. Workflow tasks associated with the workflows may generate requests to collect each proof asset associated with the control objects. Workflow tasks may validate each collected proof asset based on the plurality of control objects associated with each collected proof asset. Workflow tasks may determine completed control objects based on the validated proof assets. Workflow tasks may employ an amount of the completed control objects that is equivalent to the amount of the control objects associated with the program model to provide a report indicating that the requirements associated with the program model may be satisfied. Workflow tasks may employ detection of modifications to the validated proof assets to determine a portion of the workflow tasks based on the modified proof assets such that the portion of the workflow tasks may be re-executed.

  • Patent number: 10491816
    Abstract: A motorized camera captures images of an object detected within one or more of its detection areas. The motorized camera moves or repositions its movable imaging device to target various locations, and captures one or more images including the object and before, during, or as the imaging device is moved. One or more sensors monitor the detection areas for the object and identify the detection area at which the object is present. Various operations of the motorized camera can be conditioned on specific circumstances or environmental conditions relevant to image capture or the operation of the motorized camera.

  • Patent number: 10445680
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards managing online computer services to create custom business processes. A visualization model representing a business process may be provided. If the visualization model a modeling engine may produce a flow model from the visualization model. A flow model may be provided based on the visualization model, such that the flow model includes flow nodes and edges associating the flow nodes. A control model that is overlaid on the flow model may be provided, such that the control model may be arranged to share the flow nodes and the edges of the flow model. A data model that is overlaid on the flow model may be provided. The data model may be arranged to include one or more data model edges. The flow model may be provided to an executive engine that executes the flow model using one or more execution engines.

  • Publication number: 20190220960
    Abstract: An image enhancing wildlife camera generates enhanced images of animal wildlife in low light conditions. The enhanced images contain details that are traditionally lost due to problematic lighting conditions. The image enhancing wildlife camera includes one or more infrared illuminators that activate upon detection of animal wildlife. An initial image is captured while the animal wildlife is illuminated with an infrared illuminator. The initial image is transformed into an enhanced image using one or more mappings that map color information in the initial image to one or more colors in the visible spectrum.
