Abstract: A device for converting a firearm to a fixed magazine is disclosed. The device includes a one-way internally threaded bolt comprising of an internally threaded section and a one-way head. The internally threaded section is able to engage with the externally threaded portion of the magazine catch and the head is configured so that a screw driver is only able to rotate the one-way internally threaded bolt in a tightening direction. A method for loading a firearm having a fixed magazine is also disclosed.

Abstract: An electric powered personal mobility vehicle that includes at least one front wheel and an electric motor that provides rotational force to a wheel of the vehicle. The electric motor is supported by the vehicle and is powered by a rechargeable battery that is also supported by the vehicle. The vehicle can also include swivel caster wheels each configured to rotate about a wheel axis.

Abstract: Various powered mobility systems for users are described. The powered mobility system can include at least one powered skate. The powered skate can include a platform, a plurality of wheels, and a motor assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor. The motor can be powered by a power supply. A motor control can be implemented to determine when power is supplied to the motor from the power supply.

Abstract: A marking device that is supported by a personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, is movable from a first position, in which the marking device does not contact the riding surface, and a second position, in which the marking device contacts the riding surface. The marking device includes an attachment portion and a marking portion that creates markings on the riding surface as a result of frictional contact with the riding surface. The marking device can also include an actuation portion which is accessible to the user and allows the user to move the marking device to the second position. In one arrangement, the marking device includes an elastic marking member which is configured to bend in order to maintain contact with the riding surface.

Abstract: A soft impact projectile launcher including a launching mechanism that creates a burst of air or air pressure in order to launch a projectile. The launching mechanism includes an outer cylinder and a spring-loaded piston configured to generate the burst of air. The projectile launcher may also include a projectile reservoir and a loading member that positions projectiles for launching. The projectile launcher can launch projectiles that are made from a superabsorbent polymer and consist of mostly water.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to a collaborative tool that can include receiving one or more design parameters into a web server for designing a placement of one or more electromagnetic emitters; designing a structural layout for configuring a wireless network; virtually placing a plurality of electromagnetic emitters in different areas around the structural layout; testing electromagnetic signal strength in the structural layout; and optimizing the electromagnetic emitter placement.

Abstract: A detection system for patient therapy devices is provided. A controller is coupled to the detection system. The controller determines a desired operational parameter based on the type of patient therapy device detected.

Abstract: A scooter device that can be propelled by side to side movement of a user is disclosed. The scooter device includes at least a first front wheel, at least a second and a third rearward located wheel, a frame structure through which the first wheel is coupled to the second and third wheels, wherein the second and third rearward located wheels are mounted in a biased direction arrangement and a steering mechanism that has a vertically ascending control member and is coupled to the first wheel such that turning of the steering mechanism achieves a turning of the first wheel, the steering mechanism further coupled to the frame structure such that the steering mechanism may be tilted relative to the frame structure. The frame structure can includes a first foot placement platform extending above the second wheel and a second foot placement platform extending above the third wheel.

Abstract: Various powered unicycles are disclosed. In some embodiments, the powered unicycle includes a central wheel, a motor to power the central wheel, and a control system configured to control the application of power from the motor to the central wheel. The unicycle comprises a body portion and at least one platform for supporting the user. The unicycle can includes a handle that extends upwardly to a position that it can be grasped by a user of the unicycle. The handle can be partially or fully retractable into the body of the unicycle. In some configurations, two platforms upon which the user can stand are provided with one on each side of the central wheel. In some configurations, a pair of auxiliary or outrigger wheels is provided, such as with one outrigger wheel on each side of the central wheel.
