  • Patent number: 12345497
    Abstract: A tether-less recoil kit for a weapon having a trigger with a receiver insert, an air connector plate, and a high-pressure air drum magazine. The receiver insert is configured for attachment to a receiver of a weapon and has a charge chamber and a bolt carrier. The charge chamber has a plunger extending through a rear end of the charge chamber and an air-receiving nipple configured to receive air into the charge chamber. The air connector plate fluidly couples the high-pressure air drum magazine to the receiver insert.

  • Patent number: 12297965
    Abstract: Systems and methods for injecting hydrogen into a natural gas pipeline to lower the carbon intensity of the resulting fuel blend while achieving the required energy output thereof for the end user. In one embodiment a blend ratio for the blended fuel comprising hydrogen and natural gas is determined based at least in part on a minimum energy output for fuel combusted at an end-use location connected to the natural gas pipeline so that the blended fuel (i) has a lower carbon intensity than a natural gas stream flowing in the natural gas pipeline, and (ii) provides at least the minimum energy output when combusted at the end-use location. Further, one or more embodiments include adjusting a control valve of a hydrogen injection assembly connected to the natural gas pipeline upstream of the end-use location based at least in part on the blend ratio to thereby mix hydrogen into the natural gas pipeline and produce the blended fuel.
