  • Patent number: 12253321
    Abstract: The inventive technology comprises a novel thermal indicator system that incorporates one or more thermogenic compounds that may be applied to a gun component and indicate the temperature of a gun component during and after use. This novel thermal indicator system may indicate the temperature at which the gun component will cause burns, is unsafe to store, or if a pre-determined threshold temperature has been reached resulting in a loss of firing accuracy, as well as imminent, or actual component failure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2023
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2025
    Assignee: Caveman, LLC
    Inventors: Frank Herrera, Michael Wilkey

  • Patent number: 10890398
    Abstract: The inventive technology comprises a novel gun barrel thermal indicator system that incorporates one or more thermogenic compounds that may be coupled to a gun barrel and indicate the temperature of a gun barrel during and after use. Additional embodiments may comprise a digital gun barrel thermal indicator system that may be coupled to a gun barrel and digitally indicate the temperature of a gun barrel during and after use. This novel gun barrel thermal indicator system may indicate the temperature at which the gun barrel will cause burns, is unsafe to store, or if a pre-determined threshold temperature has been reached resulting in a loss of firing accuracy, as well as imminent and/or actual barrel failure.

  • Publication number: 20060172405
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for sonication-enhanced digestion of cellular matter. The method includes supplying cellular matter to a bioreactor, sonically disrupting the cellular matter, and providing the disrupted cellular matter for microbial digestion in the bioreactor. The system includes a bioreactor for cellular matter, the bioreactor having an inlet and an outlet; a sonic energy source connected to the bioreactor; and at least one rotating member connected to the bioreactor. The cellular matter enters the bioreactor through the inlet, is mixed by the rotating member and is subjected to sonic energy and microbial digestion in the bioreactor.
