Abstract: A launching system for an air gun includes a compression cylinder. The compression cylinder includes a cylinder body having an open rearward end and a closed forward end with an interior bore therebetween. The forward end has a transfer port configured for fluid communication with a barrel of an air gun. The piston includes a piston body. The piston body has a forward portion disposed within the interior bore. A sealing device is disposed on the forward portion of the piston body. One of a ferromagnetic section or magnet is disposed on a rearward portion of the piston body. A drive coil assembly is disposed over the one of a ferromagnetic section or magnet. When the drive coil assembly is energized with a first polarity, the piston is drawn from a reset position to a firing position relative to the compression cylinder by the drive coil assembly with increasing force.

Abstract: Technologies are generally provided for converting handwritten ink input to text annotations. A user may provide handwritten ink input to content displayed on a computing device to edit and mark up the content. The ink input may be provided employing touch or an electronic stylus on a user interface of the computing device to edit the content. The ink input may be processed to identify insertion of comments, deletion of text, and to identify insertion of markup symbols and shapes. The ink input may be converted to a text annotation based on a context of the ink input and a grammar and proofreading analysis. The text annotation may be displayed in an annotation view. The ink input may be converted periodically after predefined periods of time and upon detection of selection of a conversion button to activate conversion of the ink input.
