Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques that can be implemented in a gun, such as an electromechanical gun. The gun may charge a capacitor bank, identify a trigger break based on an output generated by a trigger sensor, and transmit a signal based on the trigger break. Transmitting the signal may result in the capacitor bank discharging electric charge such that electric current is directed at an actuator mechanism so as to cause displacement of the actuator mechanism, and the displacement of the actuator mechanism may result in the propulsion of a projectile through a barrel of the gun. The gun may determine that a projectile has been fired based on an output of an accelerometer or a gyroscope, and the gun may recharge the capacitor bank in response to determining that the projectile has been fired.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an electromechanical sear that is implementable in a gun. The gun may include a fire control manager, and the fire control manager may identify a trigger break based on a trigger sensor, transmit, based on the trigger break, a first signal to a first actuator located in a displacement path of a sear, so as to cause the first actuator to be displaced in a first direction, and transmit, based on the trigger break, a second signal to a second actuator located in the displacement path of the sear, so as to cause the second actuator to be displaced in a second direction. The transmitting the first signal to the first actuator and the transmitting the second signal to the second actuator may cause displacement of the sear and firing of the gun.

Abstract: An aquarium system includes a tank, a motion sensor, and a light source. The motion sensor is adapted to sense motion within a predetermined distance from the tank. The light source has a controllable intensity projecting light into the tank. The intensity varies responsive to motion sensed by the motion sensor. When the motion sensor senses movement, the light is on at 100% intensity. After some period of no-motion, such as about 60 seconds, the lighting slowly dims to around 20% of full brightness. When it senses movement again, the lighting slowly ramps up to 100% intensity.
