  • Patent number: 11913748
    Abstract: A magazine for rimmed cartridges includes a magazine tube having first left and right ribs on an inside of the magazine tube extend inward from a forward portion of opposite sidewalls and are laterally spaced by a first spacing. Second left and right ribs on an inside of the magazine tube extend inward from a rear portion of opposite sidewalls and are laterally spaced by a second spacing that is greater than the first spacing. When the magazine is filled to capacity with rimmed cartridges, cartridges in the magazine are arranged in two offset columns with projectiles of the rimmed cartridges laterally spaced from a median plane by a first distance and rims of the rimmed cartridges laterally spaced from the median plane by a second distance that is greater than the first distance. Also disclosed is a baseplate that attaches to a magazine tube using a snap fit.

  • Publication number: 20240042458
    Abstract: A magnetic debris level measuring device for a magnetic filter is disclosed. The magnetic debris level measuring device includes a magnetometer and a temperature sensor. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor is used to calculate a corrected magnetometer reading, which in turn can be used to determine the amount of captured magnetic debris held within the filter. The device has a stored threshold for the corrected magnetometer reading, and when the corrected magnetometer reading crosses the stored threshold a notification is issued that the filter is full. If it is detected that debris continues to be captured after the ‘full’ notification has been issued, the stored threshold will be updated accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20230376938
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for minting, aging, storing, grading, and trading NFT-based trading cards in a way that mimics that of “real” tangible trading cards. Embodiments of the solution may comprise generation of an NFT-based trading card asset by minting a nonfungible token (NFT) representative of an initial digital content operable to be visually displayed on a computing device. The minted NFT-based trading card asset is recorded on a blockchain and comprises a smart contract that includes a degradation algorithm, the degradation algorithm operable when executed to modify the initial digital content into a derivative digital content.

  • Patent number: 11660618
    Abstract: An in-line fitment for connection of a filter to a pipe includes first and second fluid-carrying portions and a non-fluid-carrying spacer. Each fluid-carrying portion includes a socket for receiving an open end of a pipe and a connector for connection of the filter. A screw compression fitting is provided on each of the sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions for forming a sealed connection with the open ends of the pipe. The socket of the first fluid-carrying portion has a pipe receiving depth greater than that of the socket of the second fluid-carrying portion for enabling movement of the fitment parallel to the pipe when engaged with one of the open ends of the pipe. The sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions are positioned on a common axis and facing away from each other when the fluid-carrying portions are linked by the spacer.

  • Publication number: 20230136956
    Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for price list determination from free-form text data are provided. The system obtains a text description of an item, such as an item that is the subject of an insurance loss claim and processes the text description using a first machine learning model to identify an item being described by the text description. The system then processes the text description using a second machine learning model to identify one or more candidate matching items from a database. The system then automatically populates one or more user interface screens of a claims processing software application using the output of the first machine learning model and the output of the second machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11629566
    Abstract: A borehole isolation device. The borehole isolation device may include a body having an outer diameter and an expandable ring. The expandable ring may be configured to expand from a first outer diameter that is approximately equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the body to a second outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the body when a fluid is flowed past the expandable ring in the borehole.

  • Patent number: 11526358
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for interposing on nondeterministic events during multicore virtual machine (VM) execution to capture information that allows for deterministically recreating the nondeterministic events during execution replay of the VM. A method may include reading, by a virtual processor running within a multicore VM instance, an instruction to execute, and, responsive to a determination that the instruction is a nondeterministic instruction, interposing on the nondeterministic instruction execution so as to allow deterministic execution of the nondeterministic instruction during replay execution of the multicore VM instance. Interposing on the nondeterministic instruction execution may include recording a partial barrier event and/or a full barrier event. The nondeterministic instruction may be a read memory access instruction or a write memory access instruction.

  • Publication number: 20220354140
    Abstract: A process for dry aging meat uses an enclosed, atmosphere controlled room with forced circulation and ultra-violet lighting, containing an anti-microbial meat aging rack with a salt brick stack covering one wall. Humidity is controlled to maintain between approximately 60 and approximately 65%. Temperature is controlled to maintain between approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 33 degrees Fahrenheit. UV lighting, some of which produces ozone, controls odors and sanitary conditions for the dry aging process.
