  • Patent number: 11927427
    Abstract: A sighting system for a firearm, configured for securing, about a firearm, the sighting system housed in a housing, with a smart phone or smart device mounting platform rotatably coupled thereon, with an additional rear viewing camera, integral or attachable to an armature. This said armature, additionally passes through an open portion of a clamping device, that is attachable to a threaded base portion, of the back side of said smart device mounting platform, and is both height and angularly adjustable. This said sighting device, provides the target image that is either received from other target viewing devices mounted on the firearm, or provides its own target image, to the smart device, where this said target image is viewable by the user, from any position that the user could position himself in relation to the firearm, by means of the said rotatable smartphone or smart device mounting platform.

  • Patent number: 11922340
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating and transmitting push notifications in connection with a transport service. Push notification triggers can be configured by a user via an application-based user interface corresponding to an application specific to the transport service. A user profile associated with the user can be accessed to detect one or more preconfigured push notification triggers, and thereafter transport service activity can be dynamically monitored for trigger events. Such trigger events can cause the system to generate and transmit push notifications to the user's mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11846490
    Abstract: A firearm accessory is rotatable on two axes through the use of a sleeve mounted on a bearing comprising of a first part and a second part the second part being rotatable and coupled to the first part facilitating a central opening and a first rotational motion and protrusions with at least one hinge from the sleeve attaching to a mirror device acting as a second rotational motion. An alternative teaches digital control of a swinging mirror assembly having spring acting ball actuators providing the digital action between the actuators and a surface. In another alternative, two armatures also are taught that connect a reflective device to a bearing mounted sleeve in front of or behind a target viewing device. Any of these may be directly rail mounted with appropriate attachment devices or directly connected to or manufactured as an integral part of a reflex sight, night vision, scope or similar viewing system of a firearm.

  • Publication number: 20230376320
    Abstract: A system and method enable an external user interface (UI) control for interacting with content in an iFrame web page to be invoked from within the iFrame and displayed outside the iFrame. The iFrame web page detects a predefined user interaction with a UI element in the iFrame web page and sends a UI request message to the host application using cross-domain communication. The host application activates the external UI control in response to receiving the UI request message and displays the external UI control outside of the iFrame element. User input is received with the external UI control and communicated from the host application to the iFrame web page and applied to the UI element.

  • Publication number: 20230321540
    Abstract: A computer game is rendered in a graphical user interface. A set-up view is rendered for selecting one or more game lanes from a set of game lanes. User input is received for selecting one of more one or more game lanes of the set of game lanes. A game initiation input is received, and a gameplay sequence is rendered by randomly populating each game lane with game blocks, until a termination condition is met, based on at least one block generation probability associated with the game lane. Upon termination of the gameplay sequence, a gameplay outcome is determined dependent on whether any selected game lane has reached a threshold number of game blocks.

  • Publication number: 20230076493
    Abstract: Disclosed are cup assemblies for holding, sealing, and providing electrical power to a semiconductor substrate during electroplating which may include a cup bottom element having a main body portion and a moment arm, an elastomeric sealing element disposed on the moment arm, and an electrical contact element disposed on the elastomeric sealing element. The main body portion may be such that it does not substantially flex when a substrate is pressed against the moment arm, and it may be rigidly affixed to another feature of the cup structure. The ratio of the average vertical thickness of the main body portion to that of the moment arm may be greater than about 5. The electrical contact element may have a substantially flat but flexible contact portion disposed upon a substantially horizontal portion of the sealing element. The elastomeric sealing element may be integrated with the cup bottom element during manufacturing.

  • Patent number: 11544447
    Abstract: A document is represented as a node tree in a document processing system. Edits to a node are represented in a change record that has a one-way link to the node. A text mark has a one-way link to the change record. It deletes that link when the changes represented by the change record are reflected in the text mark. A memory management system releases the memory allocated to the change record when no other object links to it.

  • Publication number: 20220392191
    Abstract: A computational lithography process uses machine learning models. An aerial image produced by a lithographic mask is first calculated using a two-dimensional model of the lithographic mask. This first aerial image is applied to a first machine learning model, which infers a second aerial image. The first machine learning model was trained using a training set that includes aerial images calculated using a more accurate three-dimensional model of lithographic masks. The two-dimensional model is faster to compute than the three-dimensional model but it is less accurate. The first machine learning model mitigates this inaccuracy.
