Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism for use with firearms having compact bolt carrier designs without modification of or connection to either the upper or lower receiver. It provides an auto sear trip linkage that is independent of both the upper and lower receivers and which may be used as a “drop in” unit to allow an upper receiver assembly otherwise configured for semi-automatic fire to be used in full-auto mode with a standard, full-auto capable AR-pattern lower receiver.

Abstract: A validated receptacle security system which utilizes a variety of anti-theft sensors, easy-to-use user interfaces, identity and/or package verification systems and methods, alarm and/or alerting systems and methods, and at least one controllable locking mechanism to provide a safe, secure, and monitored receptacle, such as for package delivery and pick up. Embodiments provide a system and structure for (1) secure delivery and pickup of items while positively monitoring the internal and external environment of a secure receptacle (including providing photographic evidence that an item has in fact been deposited into the secure receptacle), (2) taking action to preserve that environment while activating locking mechanisms in response to validated delivery and pickup transactions, and (3) activating alerts and alarms, and activating or deactivating other circuits and devices, in response to theft or tampering events.

Abstract: A method of providing a semiconductor device and a computer-readable medium having instructions for performing the method are disclosed. The method includes receiving a first wafer defect map that defines comparison regions and identifies visual defect locations for a wafer. A format of the comparison regions is determined, with the format chosen from a group including die-to-die, partial-shot-to-partial-shot and full-shot-to-full-shot. If the comparison format is not die-to-die, mapping information is received that provides die locations within the comparison regions. A wafer layout map is provided that identifies die locations within the wafer.

Abstract: A motorized golfboard with bi-axle four wheel steering controlled by the horizontal force applied to a stability bar extending vertically from golfboard's frame. Steering this way is accomplished using three design features. First, a vertically angled pivot point behind the front wheel assembly and one in front of the rear wheel assembly. Second, structurally, the front and rear axles axles lie beyond the front and rear of the golfboard deck and frame. Third, the pivot points are centered on spring plates extending angularly upward from the horizontal, bottom face of the frame of the golfboard, so as to be disposed at an acute angle with respect to the deck of the golfboard. In combination, these three features work to allow the inboard wheels to move closer together and the outboard wheels to move further apart when the stability bar is forced to the side.

Abstract: A toggle switch comprises a housing, a plurality of switches disposed within the housing, an actuating lever coupled to a pivot pin, and an actuator assembly coupled to the actuating lever. The actuating lever extends into the housing. The actuator assembly comprises an actuation pin coupled to the actuating lever, and a spring disposed about the actuating lever. The actuation pin is configured to actuate one or more of the plurality of switches, and the spring is configured to bias a cam follower into engagement with a cam profile on a bracket and bias the actuating lever into an actuation position.

Abstract: The present disclosure features standing electric vehicles for golf course travel that include a skateboard-like deck. The vehicles disclosed herein, referred to as “golf boards,” include features that enhance the safety and ease of use of the vehicle, including power-off electromagnetic braking systems.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of O-(3-piperidino-2-hydroxy-1-propyl)-nicotinic amidoxime (BGP15), its tautomers, enantiomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the treatment of Familial Dysaustonomia.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a locking system for an actuator device. The apparatus comprises a lock collar and a locking device. The lock collar shares a center axis with a piston having a first number of features that extend from the piston away from a center axis of the piston. The lock collar has a second number of features that extend towards the center axis. The locking device is configured to rotate the lock collar between a lock position in which the second number of features of the lock collar is engaged with the first number of features of the piston and an unlock position in which the second number of features of the lock collar is disengaged from the first number of features of the piston.

Abstract: Disclosed is a foldable stock for a firearm having a separate pistol grip with an open end. The stock includes a knuckle having a first portion mountable to a firearm in a fixed position and a second portion pivotally attached to the first portion and movable about a substantially laterally transverse axis relative to the first portion between an unfolded position and a downwardly folded position. A support member longitudinally extends from the second portion and a butt member is carried on the support member. The butt member is selectively longitudinally positionable on the support member relative to the knuckle between at least an extended position and a collapsed position. The butt member includes a heel surface for abutting a user's shoulder with a downwardly extending toe portion.

Abstract: Provided is a firearm gas operating system. A gas block includes a cylinder housing. A gas actuation piston in the cylinder housing reciprocates between forward and rearward positions and has a head portion with a recess. A switchable gas control valve is insertable into the forward end of the cylinder housing and includes a central passageway open at forward and rear ends. A tubular extension open at opposite ends extends axially rearward from the gas control valve and is configured to be received by the piston head portion recess. Gas pressure diverted from the barrel causes the piston to reciprocate from its forward position, where the head portion recess extends over the tubular extension, to its rearward position, where the head portion recess disengages from the tubular extension, allowing gas to exhaust through the tubular extension and forward end of the control valve to atmosphere.

Abstract: A telecommunications patch panel is provided having a plurality of connector modules rotatably mounted to a frame member. Each connector module has a front face and an opposite facing rear face, and each front face includes a plurality of connector jacks. Each rear face includes a plurality of wire termination blocks. The wire termination blocks are electrically connected to the connector jacks. Each connector module is rotatable about a rotation axis relative to the frame member. A lock selectively locks each connector module to the frame member as desired. The connector jacks and the connector modules are arranged in linear arrays perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: In a non-limiting example of the present disclosure, an exemplary table of contents slide may be displayed for a slide deck of a presentation program. The table of contents slide may comprise one or more sections of grouped slides for the slide deck. A selection of a section link may be received. The section link links the table of contents slide to a section of grouped slides. An exemplary presentation program may navigate the slide deck to a first slide of the section based on the received selection. When the navigation of the section is completed, the presentation program returns the slide deck to one of: the table of contents slide and the first slide of the section. Other examples described relate to creation and rendering of an exemplary table of contents slide and/or section links within an exemplary table of contents slide of a presentation program.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein that enhances the user experience with presentation programs and the operational aspects of such programs. In an implementation, a presentation program includes a hierarchy of parent slides and child slides in a collection of slides. Navigating from a parent slide to a child slide triggers a contextual zoom-in transition into the child slide. Navigating back to the parent slide from the child slide triggers a contextual zoom-out transition to the parent slide. Other non-limiting examples describe smart slide functionality of an exemplary presentation program. A smart slide is a slide of a slide deck that comprises one or more slide links, which provide an active link to another slide of the slide deck.
