The panel mounting system also includes a plurality of panel accessories selectively mountable on the panel system at desired locations. The panel accessories can include a panel mount and an object support. The panel mounting system provides several advantages compared to conventional peg board mounting systems.

Abstract: An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.

Abstract: An access control system is provided to prevent the surreptitious granting of access to privacy related functionality on an electronic device. Software-based events to grant access to device functionality can be validated by confirming that the software event corresponds with a hardware input event. This validation prevents the spoofing of a user interface input that may be used to fraudulently grant access to specific functionality.

Abstract: A shooting rest, components thereof, and associated methods. The shooting rest includes a frame, a forward firearm support connected to the frame, and a rear firearm support connected to the frame. The rear firearm support includes a stop configured to limit rearward movement of the firearm with respect to the frame when the firearm is fired. A liquid tank is supported by the frame and is configured to hold liquid to increase the effective mass of the shooting rest to reduce recoil felt by a shooter when the firearm is fired.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms that mechanically couple finger joint motion in robots.

Abstract: Provided is a technique for determining a context of an image and an object depicted by the image based on the context. A trained context classification model may determine a context of an image, and a trained object recognition model may determine an object depicted by the image based on the image and the context. Provided is also a technique for determining an object depicted within an image based on an input location of an input detected by a display screen. An object depicted within an image may be detected based on a distance in feature space between an image feature vector of an image and a feature vector of the object, and a distance in pixel-space between an input location of an input and location of the object within the image.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms that allow selective compliance in robot joints.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing powder for firearm ammunition and associated methods. The dispenser can include a hopper, a conveyor, a scale sensor, a dispensing head, a dispenser controller, and a tangible storage medium storing instructions executable by the dispenser controller. The dispensing head is movable to a plurality of dispensing positions to dispense ammunition powder to a plurality of cases from the plurality of dispensing positions. In some embodiments, the dispensing head moves between a home position, where the dispensing head receives powder from the conveyor, and the plurality of dispensing positions, where the dispensing head delivers loads of powder from the conveyor to individual ammunition cases.

Abstract: A foot assembly for a leg of an equipment support, components thereof, and associated methods. The foot assembly includes a spike selectively configurable in a stowed orientation and in a deployed orientation.

Abstract: A shelf assembly and components thereof, for concealing items of value of an owner from a passerby. The shelf assembly forms a concealment enclosure including a door movably connected to a shelf to permit movement of the door with respect to the shelf between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the door hides an interior. In the open position, access to the interior is permitted. The door includes a support surface, including a plurality of openings, arranged to be in the concealed interior when the door is closed position. A plurality of pegs are sized and shaped to be received in the plurality of openings to support the pegs extending outward from the support surface to form a customized mount for holding items of value.

Abstract: A system for monitoring at least one projectile during flight. The system includes a radar apparatus, a trigger, and a processor. The radar apparatus transmits a radar signal that includes a base radar frequency signal with a frequency shift. The radar signal has a signal profile in a direction of a chosen target and reflects off the projectile(s) traveling through the signal profile toward the target. The radar apparatus receives at least one reflected signal from the projectile(s). The trigger is operably coupled to the radar apparatus to automatically initiate operation of the radar apparatus. The processor collects data from the radar apparatus and calculates velocity of the projectile(s) based thereon. The present disclosure further provides a method of monitoring the projectile(s) during flight with the system. The present disclosure further provides a chronograph system with a housing, aiming device with a peep sight, and a trigger.
