Abstract: The rotary transfer device assembly of the present invention has a cylindrical-shaped rotary transfer device, which rotates about a central shaft. About the circumference of the rotary transfer device are a number of chambers, each of which can accept a single projectile as it passes through a feed aperture. As the rotary transfer device rotates, it transports the projectiles from the feed aperture to the breech from where the projectile can be launched from the barrel of the launching device.

Abstract: A test and measurement system having two measurement systems. A first measurement system that monitors communication in a signaling protocol, while a second measurement system that monitors communication in a network protocol. A correlation system correlates the output of the first measurement system with the output of the second measurement system. A graphical user interface generates a display comparing at least one aspect of the output of the first measurement system with at least one aspect of the second measurement system based on the output of the correlation system.

Abstract: A method of preventing trigger bounce during the launching of a projectile by a projectile launcher includes the step of first providing a projectile launcher having a trigger capable of actuating between a full non-firing position and a full firing position. An amount of time is determined for the trigger to normally transition from a full non-firing position to a full firing position. A sensor, such as an analog optical sensor, is used to sense position of the trigger. If the time for the trigger to transition from a non-firing position to a firing position exceeds the time for the trigger to normally transition from a full non-firing position to a full firing position, launch of the projectile is delayed period of time requiring the trigger to be release to a full non-firing position.

Abstract: 20 A grip frame 21 replaces an existing grip frame 1 on a paintball marker in order to convert said paintball marker from a mechanically operated paintball marker into an electro-pneumatic paintball marker. The electronic grip frame 21 utilizes an optical sensor in order to detect the operation of a trigger 29 and a second optical sensor to detect the presence of objects within the breech of the paintball marker. Electrical signals from these sensors are taken to an electronic circuit board 24, which controls the operation of two solenoids (one shown 26) in order to fire and recock the paintball marker. A user interface comprising pushbuttons 12, 13, 14 and a multi-character display 16, allows the user to define how the grip frame 21 functions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assigning participant identifying data to network transmission events. Participant identifying data and identifying data related to a network transmission event are provided to a predetermined (also referred to as central) monitoring location and stored in a database at the central monitoring location.

Abstract: Methods and systems for coordinated monitoring of network transmission events. Predetermined information for the network transmission event is obtained at a first network location and the network transmission event predetermined information is provided to a predetermined monitoring location (or server). From the predetermined monitoring location, the predetermined information is provided to other network monitoring devices at one or more other network locations. At the one or more other network locations, the network transmission event, corresponding to the predetermined information obtained at the first location, is monitored. Network transmission event information, corresponding to the predetermined information obtained at the first location, is provided to the predetermined monitoring location from the first location and the other network locations. The monitoring of network transmission can be thereby coordinated.

Abstract: An integrated circuit for use in a phased array antenna system having a central processing unit. The integrated circuit is associated with one of a plurality of antenna elements of the phased array antenna system. The integrated circuit includes an ID memory for storing a unique ID addressable by the central processing unit, and receives global commands from the central processing unit globally transmitted over a distributed serial bus. Upon detecting a global command, the integrated circuit compares an ID address associated with the global commands with the ID stored in the ID memory. The integrated circuit recognizes global commands as local commands to be executed locally when the ID address associated with the global commands is the same as the ID stored in the ID memory. In response to the local commands, the integrated circuit generates and provides control signals to the associated one of the antenna elements of the phased array antenna system.
