Abstract: A firearm has a receiver with a receptacle. A stock has a projection which is received within the receptacle to mount the stock on the receiver. A spring biased detent holds the stock in engagement with the receptacle. Manual manipulation of the detent allows the stock to be removed from the firearm's receiver.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for automated medical device regulation risk analysis (MDRRA). An automated MDRRA engine receives compliance rules for a medical device, a data dictionary for a patient data source, and medical device characteristics data for the medical device. The automated MDRRA engine automatically determines, based on the compliance rules and the data dictionary, critical fields of patient data and medical device characteristics data for demonstrating medical device efficacy according to the compliance rules. The automated MDRRA engine automatically determines, based on the critical fields, one or more patient population data subsets for a plurality of patients from a patient population data set and selects a population segment from the one or more patient population data sets to populate an electronic case report form (eCRF) study build. The automated MDRRA engine automatically populates fields of the eCRF with data from the population data sets corresponding to the selected population segment.

Abstract: A method for promoting hair growth in a human in need of promoting hair growth. The method includes preparing a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least three of: a Bone Morphogenetic Protein, Transforming Growth Factor Beta, Platelet Derived Growth Factor, Insulin-like Growth Factor, Basic Fibroblastic Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor; and administering the composition to the human.

Abstract: A rifle stock has an elongated body with a forward end and a butt and. The upper and lower edges of the stock are solid and continuous from front to rear. A slot generally parallel to the butt plate is formed adjacent to the butt plate to allow limited flexing in response to recoil. The stock may be formed as a hollow shell with opposed side walls, with slots to find in each sidewall. Several parallel slots may be defined in each sidewall. The slots may be occupied by elastomeric elements.

Abstract: A muzzle loading firearm has a barrel with a bore on a bore axis, and the barrel has a muzzle end and a breech end. A frame is connected to the barrel, and has a breech face. The frame moves between an open position in which the breech face is away from the breech end of the barrel, and a closed position in which the breech face abuts the breech end of the barrel. A breech plug is removably attached to the barrel. The breech plug including a seal element closely received by the bore. The seal element may be a set of piston rings that are received in a circumferential groove about a forward end of the plug, or may be a cup at the forward end, with a forward rim that flares under pressure to provide a gas seal.

Abstract: A muzzle loading firearm has a barrel with a bore on a bore axis, and has a muzzle end and a breech end. A frame is connected to the barrel, and has a breech face. The frame moves between an open position in which the breech face is away from the breech end of the barrel, and a closed position in which the breech face abuts the breech end of the barrel. A breech plug is removably attached to the barrel, and is connected to the barrel by way of interrupted, or multistart threads, or locking lugs. The breech plug may have a rear face that abuts the breech face when the frame is closed, so that a primer contained in a primer pocket in the rear of the breech plug is fully supported on all sides.
