  • Patent number: 11320218
    Abstract: A magwell extension is provided and configured to assist a user in inserting a cartridge magazine into the magwell of a firearm. The extension includes a hollow body enclosed on four sides and open at opposite ends. A coupling face defines a first of the ends and includes a pair of rails configured to engage the rim of the magwell. A stop rail extending from the coupling face lies perpendicular to the pair of rails. A locking element is configured to be coupled to the body with a portion extending from the first opening and beyond a plane defined by the coupling face. The locking element is configured to bias the rim of the magwell into secure engagement with the stop rail.

  • Patent number: 11292608
    Abstract: An unmanned vehicle capable of operating in harsh environments is disclosed. The unmanned vehicle includes an aerial platform, a piloting system supported by the aerial platform, a medium source supported by the aerial platform, and a control system having a processor running computer executable code that actuates the medium source to emit a medium away from the aerial vehicle with an intensity sufficient to disorient a subject when the medium interacts with an exteroceptive sense of a subject.

  • Publication number: 20220094662
    Abstract: Disclosed is a domain filter capable of determining an n-gram distance between a seed domain and each of a plurality of candidate domains. The domain filter loads a seed domain n-gram for the seed domain and a candidate domain n-gram for each candidate domain in memory, compares the seed domain n-gram and the candidate domain n-gram to identify any identical grams, removes any identical grams from the seed domain n-gram, and determines how many grams are left in the seed domain n-gram, representing the n-gram distance between the seed domain and the candidate domain. The domain filter then compares n-gram distances thus determined with a predetermined threshold, eliminates any candidate domain having an n-gram distance from the seed domain that exceeds the predetermined threshold, and provides remaining candidate domains to a downstream computing facility such as a user interface or an analytical module operating in an enterprise computing environment.

  • Patent number: 11210872
    Abstract: Vehicles can employ onboard telematic monitoring devices to collect vehicle and operation data, such as for improved vehicle fleet management. Such telematic monitoring devices are dependent on power from a vehicle, such that data collection and communication can be interrupted if a telematic monitoring device is disconnected or has a poor connection. The present disclosure relates to battery devices, which provide power to telematic devices as needed in order to maintain data collection and communication, or other more limited functionality. The present disclosure also relates to systems including battery devices, and methods for operating battery devices.

  • Publication number: 20210348614
    Abstract: A method to detect gulping in a pump driven by a motor drive to pump a liquid includes: determining a value of a work indicator corresponding to work performed by a pump pumping a liquid; comparing the value to a first threshold; changing a value of a tracking variable by a first amount if the value of the work indicator is below the threshold; changing the value of the tracking variable by a second amount if the value of the work indicator is above the threshold, wherein the first amount and the second amount have opposite signs; and determining that a gulping event occurred if an absolute value of the tracking variable is larger than an absolute value of a second threshold.
