Patent number: 12050077Abstract: A linkless ammunition handling system for a medium caliber weapon has a first magazine configured to store a plurality of individual ammunition rounds. The first magazine conveys ammunition rounds to a first magazine interface unit. The first magazine interface unit conveys ammunition rounds to a first flexible feed chute subassembly. The first flexible feed chute subassembly conveys ammunition rounds to a first gun interface unit. The first gun interface unit conveys ammunition rounds to a gun feeder. A second magazine is also configured to store a plurality of individual ammunition rounds. The second magazine conveys ammunition rounds to a second magazine interface unit. The second magazine interface unit conveys ammunition rounds to a second flexible feed chute subassembly. The second flexible feed chute subassembly conveys ammunition rounds to a second gun interface unit. The second gun interface unit conveys ammunition rounds to the gun feeder.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Nobles Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: David S.

Publication number: 20210190753Abstract: An improved sensor fish with robust design and enhanced measurement capabilities. This sensor fish contains sensors for acceleration, rotation, magnetic field intensity, pressure, and temperature. A low-power microcontroller collects data from the sensors and stores up to 5 minutes of data on a non-volatile flash memory. A rechargeable battery supplies power to the sensor fish. A recovery system helps locating sensor fish. The package, when ready for use is nearly neutrally buoyant and thus mimics the behavior of an actual fish.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2021Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Z. Daniel Deng, Mitchell J. Myjak, Jun Lu, Jayson J. Martinez, Chuan Tian, Thomas J. Carlson, Scott J. Morris, Hongfei Hou

Patent number: 10033469Abstract: Injectable acoustic tags and a process of making are described for tracking host animals in up to three dimensions. The injectable acoustic tags reduce adverse biological effects and have a reduced cost of manufacture compared with conventional surgically implanted tags. The injectable tags are powered by a single power source with a lifetime of greater than 30 days. The injectable tags have an enhanced acoustic signal transmission range that enhances detection probability for tracking of host animals.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignees: Battelle Memorial Institute, The United States of America, as represented by the Army Corps of EngineersInventors: Z.
