  • Patent number: 11940254
    Abstract: A projectile designed to be lead-free and have a ballistic coefficient ranging from about 0.13 to about 0.80 or greater for enhanced energy/performance at extended ranges may have an elongated body formed with a jacket including a wall having an end defining an ogive portion and a cavity or recess defined within the jacket and in which a core is received. The projectile can be configured in various calibers and sizes. The projectile core may be formed from a plurality of core sections, and at least one of the plurality of core sections may include tungsten powder and a lead-free binder material pressed together to form a substantially cylindrical shape or compact. One or more of the core sections further can be sintered, and the one or more core sections may be received in an end-to-end relationship within the cavity defined by the jacket to form a stacked, sectional core.

  • Patent number: 9237297
    Abstract: A user/viewer directed film entertainment system preferably includes computer hardware, software, on-line content and audio/video media that allows the user to watch a story unfold in a nonlinear fashion according to the desires of the user and preferably from various points of view. The system provides a story broken up by a plot related category (e.g., characters) into story segments. These segments tell the story from the vantage point of these characters, each having their own storyline within the main story. Each character's storyline may or may not intersect with other storylines. While the user can watch a chosen character's story segments straight through and likely understand enough to allow the user to reveal the end, the user may miss important information contained in other characters' storyline that adds to the chosen character's story. The user can choose any order and any character as desired.
