Publication number: 20200363171Abstract: A magazine for storing cased telescoped (CT) cartridges and delivering the CT cartridges to a firearm configured to fire CT cartridges. The magazine includes a fixed lip and a moveable lip. The fixed lip and the moveable lip of the magazine are configured to prevent a CT cartridge located in a top-most position within the magazine from being pushed out a top of the magazine when the magazine is not fully inserted into a magazine well of the firearm configured to fire CT cartridges. The moveable lip may pivot laterally on a pivot point and move out of the way of the CT cartridge located in the top-most position within the magazine when the magazine is fully inserted and locked into the magazine well of the firearm configured to fire CT cartridges.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Brandon Scott Recchia, Cameron Mehdi Brand

Publication number: 20200278266Abstract: Embodiments provide for an impact force gauge that includes a track and a shell that is designed to flex from a first state to a second state when a force exceeding a predetermined threshold is applied along a given axis and that is designed to return to the first state when the force falls below the predetermined threshold along the given axis. A roller is located in the shell and has a diameter such the roller is allowed or blocked from moving to different locations in the impact force gauge based on the force applied thereto. Based on the presence or absence of the roller along different portions of the track, the force gauge wirelessly transmits an indication of whether the force gauge has been exposed to a force that exceeds the predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2019Publication date: September 3, 2020Inventors: Brad Matthew JOHNSON, Joshua Stephen FATCHERIC, Ashley Lanier TRIMPEY, Marcus A.

Patent number: 10641561Abstract: A weapon for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition includes a barrel. a chamber cavity aligned with the barrel, and a translating chamber member defining a chamber for holding a CT round for firing. The chamber member moves between a firing position in the chamber cavity and an ejection/loading position for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round. A breech member closes a rear end of the chamber. A carrier performs a counter-recoil operation in which (1) the chamber member is moved from the ejection/loading position to the firing position with the next CT round therein, and (2) the breech is urged into a closed position against the next CT round in the chamber to remove headspace before the next CT round is fired from the weapon.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: AAI CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Gregory Paul Habiak, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Joshua Stephen Ruck

Patent number: 10634469Abstract: A cased telescoped cartridge that includes a cylindrical case surrounding a projectile, a front end through which the projectile exits when the cased telescoped cartridge is fired, and a thermal protective insert located at the front end. The thermal protective insert insulates the cased telescoped cartridge from heat emanating from a barrel of a firearm into a chamber of a firearm when the cartridge is loaded into the chamber of the firearm. The thermal protective insert is made up of at least one thermally insulating material, and is integrated into the front end of the cased telescoped cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: AAI CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Brandon Scott Recchia, Cameron Mehdi Brand, William Henry Engel, IV

Patent number: 10619954Abstract: A firearm for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition cartridges that includes a split chamber configured to fully support a CT cartridge when it is fired, and that includes i) a dynamic rear chamber portion defining a pocket in a face of a bolt, and ii) a static front chamber portion that is integral to the barrel and separate from the bolt. A cartridge extraction mechanism engages the CT cartridge prior to the CT cartridge being fired, and holds the CT cartridge in the pocket in the bolt face as the bolt moves rearward to pull the CT cartridge out of the static front chamber portion and into an ejection position. An ejector is operable to eject the CT cartridge from the pocket in the face of the bolt when the CT cartridge reaches the ejection position.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: AAI CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Cameron Mehdi Brand, Kevin Michael Ayotte, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Gregory Paul Habiak

Patent number: 10584928Abstract: A weapon for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition includes a barrel, a chamber member and a carrier assembly. The chamber member defines a chamber for a CT round for firing, and translates between a firing position aligned with the barrel and an ejection/loading position. The chamber member is spring-biased toward the firing position. The carrier assembly carries the firing pin and (1) performs a recoil in which a carrier and rammer move rearward from a battery position to bring the next CT round into a ramming position and to move the chamber member from the firing position to the ejection/loading position, and (2) performs a counter-recoil to return to the battery position and cause the rammer to push the next CT round into the chamber. The chamber member is released for biased return to the firing position for a next firing cycle.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: AAI CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Gregory Paul Habiak, George Ronald Christ, Brandon Scott Recchia, Mark Allen Siemsen, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Kevin Michael Ayotte

Patent number: 10447682Abstract: A new machine being initiated for a deployment can attempt to authenticate itself using a signed certificate, and a decision is made whether to trust the machine and issue the signed certificate. Since not all information may be readily available, a rationalization procedure can utilize the available information, as may be associated with a certificate signing request, determine to whether to trust the machine and issue the signed certificate. When the source of truth data subsequently becomes available, a justification process can use that data to determine whether the machine should be trusted and the decision to sign the certificate was proper. If the machine should not be trusted, the certificate can be revoked and the machine terminated.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Joshua Stephen Du Lac

Patent number: 10337809Abstract: A magazine for storing cased telescoped (CT) cartridges. The magazine includes vertically extending side-wall ribs that project inwards into a loading channel. The side-wall ribs are positioned in alignment with a circumferential groove in each CT cartridge. The side-wall ribs prevent a backwards oriented CT cartridge from being pushed from the loading position through the loading channel into a body of the magazine. A moveable lip at the top of the magazine may move out of the way when the magazine is attached to a firearm, to allow the CT cartridge located in the loading position to be fed vertically out of the top of magazine. Each CT cartridge may include a thermal protective insert that provides thermal insulation from heat emanating from a barrel of a firearm when the CT cartridge is located in a chamber of the firearm.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: AAI CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Brandon Scott Recchia, Cameron Mehdi Brand, Gregory Paul Habiak
