Abstract: A weapon sighting system for gathering ambient or generated light and projecting a fixed or adjustable ballistic reticule image for targeting. The system includes a partially reflective, zero parallax, optical lens assembly, an illuminating reticule projection component, and an adjustable bracket fixed to the weapon being sighted. The bracket supports the lens assembly at one end and the projection component at an opposing end. The projection component is aligned to project a light image onto the lens assembly to be reflected back into the target sightline. The projection component gathers ambient (or generated) light through polymer acrylic solid materials and/or fiber optics, and directs the light through a fixed or adjustable mask. The movement of the weapon effects a corresponding movement in the angle of reflection through the optics of the sighting system. An adjustable mask allows the projected image to change to accommodate near and distant targets.

Abstract: A bow stabilizer incorporating one or more attachment rails for mounting a variety of accessories to the stabilizer for use in conjunction with the bow or other target sighting device. The stabilizer is rotationally adjustable about a center axis attachment post connecting the stabilizer to the bow. In addition to rotating the stabilizer for balance, the rails are individually adjustable side to side at their ends and are preferably of the picatinny or weaver rail configuration. Anywhere from one to four (or more) accessory rails may be positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically on the stabilizer. One or more counterbalance weights may be adjustably positioned on one or more of the rails to offset and balance the weight of attached accessories.

Abstract: A damper system for placement between a supercharger and a turbocharger. The damper is located in a plenum placed within the air path from the supercharger to the turbocharger. If the plenum is under positive pressure from the supercharger, the damper seals shut against the plenum, allowing the supercharger to build positive boost pressure to the turbocharger. The damper is designed to stay closed until the plenum experiences a slightly negative pressure. The damper then opens to expose the turbocharger inlet to atmospheric pressure. This allows the turbocharger to intake the airflow from the smaller supercharger, but also to intake additional airflow from the ambient air at atmospheric pressure. The damper allows an engine to take advantage of the low RPM and low load performance and efficiency of smaller superchargers and the performance and efficiency of larger turbochargers under higher load and higher exhaust mass flow rate.

Abstract: A bow stabilizer/vibration dampener incorporating one or more attachment rails for mounting a variety of accessories to the stabilizer for use in conjunction with the bow or other target sighting device. The rails are adjustable side to side at their ends and are preferably of the picatinny or weaver rail configuration. Anywhere from one to four (or more) accessory rails may be positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically on the stabilizer. In addition, the invention anticipates application of the adjustable rail structures positioned in other locations on the bow.

Abstract: A bow sight that utilizes fiber optic wave guides as a basis for collecting ambient light and providing multiple sighting spots within the archer's field of view. The terminal ends of the fiber optic wave guides are positioned so as to have images thereof reflected on a moveable reflective plane (objective optic) within the bow sight. The multiple aiming spots thus reflected in the bow sight provide the archer with sighting spots for targets over a range of distances. A fixed angular reference indicator facilitates side to side (rotational) alignment. Each of the individual fiber optic wave guides collects ambient light and terminates in a terminal block that may be varied in its position so as to individually adjust the reflected image of the aiming spot. Various mechanisms within the fiber optic terminal block for adjusting the position of the ambient light wave guide are also described.

Abstract: A system for allowing an archer to temporarily position, place, and carry a bow when the bow is not specifically being drawn on a target. The system comprises two parts, a first part fixed on the bow and a second part positioned on the archer, typically in association with an article of clothing on the archer. The first part is a ball shaped component fixed to the bow. The user then wears a socket type clip, where the socket is sized to accommodate the ball by simply dropping the ball in for a quick attach and detach. A slot in the socket allows quick drop in ability, but is sized to secure to the bow as it swings in the socket during normal walking, hunting, climbing, or other shooting activities. The socket clip is preferably attached to the user's belt but may alternately be attached to the user's clothing, vehicle, or other stationary object for secure and tactical bow retention.
