  • Patent number: 11953275
    Abstract: A fixed position ejector detachably connectable to a firearm is disclosed. The ejector comprises a base having an elevated forwardly extending finger, wherein the finger has an outer finger face configured for contacting a cartridge or case during the ejection phase of the firing cycle of the firearm. The base has forward and rear downwardly extending posts that are configured to engage into respective forward and rear retaining post holes positioned on the upper frame surface. At least one of the forward and rear posts includes a downwardly slanted notch. A retaining screw is provided to adjustably engage into both (i) a through-hole positioned adjacent and perpendicular to the upper frame surface of the firearm, and (ii) the slanted notch of one of the forward and rear posts such that the retaining screw urges the bottom base surface of the base against the upper frame surface of the firearm.

  • Publication number: 20230408221
    Abstract: A method of making a high-end precision gun frame is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing first and second blanks; machining the first blank to form a left-hand open-face half frame; machining the second blank to form a right-hand open-face half frame complementary and substantially symmetrical to the left-hand half frame; aligning/positioning the left-hand half frame and right-hand half frame such that they confront each other; and high energy beam welding the left-hand open-face half frame and the right-hand open-face half frame together selectively along their interface to form the gun frame. The invention enables the low-cost manufacturing of high-end precision guns of exacting specifications with extremely tight tolerances.

  • Patent number: 5718247
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for interactive psychotherapy in which information produced during a patient's therapy is categorized according to data type. The information is then stored to a series of interconnected databases stored in a computer. Empirical Data and Historical Data are developed first, and stored. Then Generalizations (patterns) are derived from this Data, and stored. After Generalizations have been stored, Hypotheses (Explanations of Generalizations) are developed and stored. The Hypotheses are evaluated and tested to determine their truth or falsity. Simultaneously with the derivation of Hypotheses, Goals are derived from the Generalizations, and stored. These Goals are periodically evaluated to assess the patient's progress. Finally, possible Actions to accomplish the Goals are Derived, each Action being based on a Hypothesis. The patient and therapist are provided with simultaneous access to the computer for entry and retrieval of information.
