Patent number: 11859935Abstract: A linear encoder may be used to accurately determine a number of cartridges within a magazine. Further, using a set of magnetic sensors within a buffer tube of a firearm, it is possible to determine whether a cartridge is loaded within a chamber of the weapon and/or whether the firearm is jammed. The determination of cartridges within the magazine in conjunction with the determination of whether a cartridge is in a chamber of a firearm can give a user an accurate ammunition count. Further, the use of the linear encoder makes it possible to accurately determine the cartridge count when different cartridges are loaded into the magazine or when the magazine degrades in quality over time. Moreover, the ability for magazines to communicate with a firearm enables a user to determine a total available ammunition to the user in a single display without individually checking each magazine.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Maztech Industries, LLCInventors: David Michael Masarik, Michael Raymond Masarik, Matthew James Masarik

Publication number: 20230213312Abstract: Certain aspects of a novel weapon sight system combine a direct view, a visible light video view, and an infrared (IR) video view mode. Each of the view modes may be viewed individually or simultaneously with one or more of the other view modes through a single viewing aperture. Further, the one or more view-modes may be provided while providing a bore-sighted reticle superimposed on the selected view. Further, the reticle may be powered separately from the video view electronics enabling use of the reticle regardless of the power status video view electronics.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: David Michael Masarik, Michael Raymond Masarik, Matthew James Masarik, David Alexander Steinweg, Gregory Philip Petersen
