  • Patent number: 11629931
    Abstract: This invention herein described is a firearm mountable, illumination and projection system for projecting, detecting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation (waves) from across the electromagnetic spectrum by utilizing a variety of technologies such as LED's, Infrared Illuminators, Laser Emitters, and FLIR sensors (examples not limitations). This invention, herein described, is unique in that the embodiment(s) for Illumination and Projection are separate, unique, and isolated (distally) from the embodiment providing the necessary power (Current, Voltage, Electromotive Force) for the illumination and/or projection of electromagnetic radiation.

  • Patent number: 11079316
    Abstract: A laser spectrometer can be operated for analysis of one or more analytes present in a combustible gas mixture. The spectrometer can include one or more features that enable intrinsically safe operation. In other words, electrical, electronic, thermal, and/or optical energy sources can be limited within an hazardous are of the spectrometer where it is possible for an explosive gas mixture to exist. Methods, systems, articles and the like are described.

  • Patent number: 10156513
    Abstract: A sample cell can be designed to minimize excess gas volume. Described features can be advantageous in reducing an amount of gas required to flow through the sample cell during spectroscopic measurements, and in reducing a time (e.g. a total volume of gas) required to flush the cell between sampling events. In some examples, contours of the inners surfaces of the sample cell that contact the contained gas can be shaped, dimensioned, etc. such that a maximum clearance distance is provided between the inner surfaces at one or more locations. Systems, methods, and articles, etc. are described.

  • Patent number: 8671806
    Abstract: This invention is a new beginning for AN wrench users. No more uncomfortably thin AN or Bonney wrenches are needed. This wrench/tool system with separate, ergonomic handle is loaded with features designed for comfort. The separate handle is specifically designed with contoured finger grips, and gently radiused back edge resting against the palm of the user's hand. These are features that will provide the user all-day comfort. In addition, with the common blade of the wrench/tool ends, fitting the matching receiving groove of the handles, wrench/tool ends and handles of differing styles can be added, and upgraded to build a set of wrench/tool ends and handles to meet every need.

  • Patent number: 8118674
    Abstract: A gaming machine including a controller coupled to a 3D display that displays true 3D or virtual 3D imagery associated with a basic or a bonus wagering game. 3D displays can display true 3D imagery or virtual 3D imagery that is displayed in 2D but perceived by the viewer to be 3D. True 3D displays include a volumetric 3D display, a multi-layer display, and a holographic display. Virtual or stereoscopic displays include a lenticular display employing cylindrical or spherical lenslets, a parallax illumination display employing light lines to create a parallax effect, or non-autostereoscopic displays requiring a special viewing aid to complete the 3D effect.

  • Publication number: 20090124395
    Abstract: A gaming apparatus having a cabinet cooperatively coupled to an LCD mounting system. The LCD mounting system is carried within and mounts to an interior surface of the cabinet. The LCD mounting system is pivotable relative to and independent from the cabinet and a door mounted thereto. In this way, when the door is in an open position, a video display supported by the LCD mounting system may pivot away from the cabinet to allow access to an interior space and the components within the cabinet. Alternatively, when the door is in an open position, the video display supported by the LCD mounting system may be positioned for easy viewing and interaction while still allowing access to the interior space and the components within the cabinet.

  • Publication number: 20050261057
    Abstract: A gaming machine for conducting a wagering game includes a game display and at least one illumination device. The game display is for displaying the wagering game and the illumination device is for presenting artistic elements such as marquee lettering and candle lighting. One aspect of the illumination device is a formed material with at least one LED embedded within. The formed material contains light dispersion particles and is of a nature that allows the light from the embedded LEDs to emit from the surface in an effectively uniform manner. In a different embodiment, an illumination device, comprised of a colored light source, associated electronic components that are enclosed within the gaming machine's housing, and a transparent object, directs light from the light source through the structure of the transparent object positioned over the source, and displays the color and intended intensity of the light on an altered surface on the transparent object.
