  • Patent number: 11933558
    Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and apparatus for firearm safety mechanisms, visual safety indicators, and related techniques. A firearm includes a handle comprising one or more buttons disposed at least partially within a surface of the handle, such that the one or more buttons can be in contact with an operator's hand when the operator grasps the handle; a safety mechanism in mechanical communication with the trigger. The safety mechanism comprises: a first position that blocks actuation of the trigger; and a second position that does not block actuation of the trigger; and at least one processor configured to: upon determining an input code matches a stored code, transmits a signal to the safety mechanism to change the safety mechanism from the first position to the second position so that the firearm can be fired by the operator.

  • Patent number: 9575105
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention enable low-power accurate measurement of complex impedance at a range of frequencies of interest to determine a frequency response of a test sample. The system requires only a few external precision components that are not integrated into a microprocessor, thereby, providing a low-cost alternative to existing designs. In certain embodiments, low-power operation is accomplished by utilizing a simplified digital signal processing scheme that requires only a small number of ADC samples. Measurement accuracy is achieved by a digital conversion to baseband that does not suffer from channel matching issues and by utilizing a single analog path.

  • Publication number: 20160049089
    Abstract: Software may be used to train a person's movements (e.g., in sports, in training, etc.) by displaying a first recording and a real-time video of a user. The first recording may relate to a motion of an ideal subject, where a first set of points are identified on the ideal subject's body throughout the motion. The video of the user may be displayed while playing the first recording, where a second set of points are identified on the user's body throughout the user's motion. An indication may be provided to the user when a position of one or more of the first set of points corresponds with a position of one or more of the second set of points.

  • Publication number: 20140259667
    Abstract: A system, kit and method for non-structural surface repair and reconditioning of industrial sized blades includes an initial evaluation and power washing step for identifying required repairs. A surface cleaning step combines power washing with application of muratic acid and various mechanical tools and techniques for removing environmental and chemical buildup. A succeeding step provides for non-structural surface repairs to the blades, such as including filling and reshaping the leading edges with the use of an impact resistant urethane and/or a fast cure epoxy and fiberglass cloth. A finish coating step includes applying a chemically resistant and submersible grade (i.e. water resistant) top coat epoxy.

  • Patent number: 8588288
    Abstract: An example method for controlling a continuous time linear equalizer includes: developing a voltage histogram of a signal present at an output of a continuous time linear equalizer; developing a quality factor for the voltage histogram; comparing the quality factor with a prior quality factor; decreasing an equalization of the continuous time linear equalizer if the quality factor is less than the prior quality factor and increasing the equalization of the continuous time linear equalizer if the quality factor is greater than the prior quality factor.

  • Publication number: 20050153457
    Abstract: In connection with a fluidic medical diagnostic device that permits measurement of the coagulation time of blood, software, methods and associated devices for quality control are disclosed. The fluidic device preferably comprises a test strip with one end having a sample port for introducing a sample and a bladder at the other end for drawing the sample to a measurement area. A channel carries sample from the sample port to an assay measurement area and first and second control measurement areas. Preferably a stop junction, between the measurement areas and bladder, halts the sample flow for measurement. If results from measurements taken for each control fall within a predetermined zone or defined limits, the assay measurement is qualified. If not, an error is registered and the test strip is counted as unfit.
