  • Patent number: 11187482
    Abstract: A trigger assembly for a firearm can include a trigger safety member to prevent unintentional firing of the firearm. The trigger safety member is designed to facilitate engaging with the digit of the user, while preventing accidental unlocking of the trigger safety member. The trigger can also include one or more kinesthetic features.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10247503
    Abstract: A trigger can include one or more kinesthetic features to provide increased mechanoreceptor stimulation. This can give a shooter increased kinesthetic awareness of the trigger pull. The trigger can include any number of different kinesthetic features in different configurations such as ridges, grooves, bumps or depressions, raised or depressed surfaces, bars, etc. These features can provide an increased sense of feel to encourage the straight, even, efficient and/or consistent pressing of the weapon's trigger to produce consistent and accurate shot placement. The trigger can include two kinesthetic features or reference points, such as parallel bars, on the trigger face. With the parallel reference points the operator can apply equal pressure across the face of the trigger during manipulation.

  • Publication number: 20140353490
    Abstract: The present teachings are directed to methods and apparatuses for mass spectrometry that include configuring mass spectrometry apparatus to perform a plurality of separate assays on ions fragmented from a given analyte, where each such analysis by the spectrometry apparatus is targeted at a different respective associated mass-to-charge ratio and provides a quantitative measure of the number of fragments thereof.

  • Patent number: 7391015
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming for collecting data using a mass spectrometer comprising a particle detector or other mass analyzer. A data collection such as a tree or array structure which includes data records for storing detected data is maintained in volatile or persistent memory. Data is received from the mass analyzer. Whether the collection contains data records corresponding to newly-acquired data signals is determined. If the collection does not contain records corresponding to the newly-received records, a new record is added. In either case, the record corresponding to the received data record is updated to reflect reception of the newly-acquired signal.
