Abstract: A cylinder aligning sleeve and adapter plate for use within an internal combustion engine. The sleeve includes apertures placed contiguously with holes within the adapter plate to form a flow passage through the dead space between compression and crosshead pistons. The flow passage exits to a vent line where gas detection may occur along with safe venting of any gas detected. The sleeve serves to ensure concentric alignment of the compression cylinder with the engine block bore.

Abstract: A device for providing a disposable liner or bag and valve inside of a keg. An example device includes a valve assembly connected to a spear assembly. The disposable liner or bag is wrapped around the spear assembly to fit through a top opening in the keg and the valve assembly is connected to the top opening of the keg. A series of valves and passages enable an inert gas to flow into and expand or inflate the disposable liner or bag inside of the keg, and the valve then enables filling the disposable liner or bag inside of the keg with beer or other liquid to be dispensed from the keg. When the keg is empty, the spear assembly may be disconnected and withdrawn, thus removing both the disposable liner or bag and disposable valve assembly from the keg.

Abstract: Semi-automatic rifle including a free floating barrel with a muzzle located at a distal end and an engagement mechanism at a proximal end. The barrel has a length measured from the proximal end to the distal end. A receiver can be configured to couple the engagement mechanism of the barrel and a bolt at least partially rotatably mounted relative to the receiver. A gas cylinder system being coupled to the barrel substantially close to the muzzle and including an operating rod. A trigger assembly coupled to the receiver to receive at least a portion of the operating rod and a bridge coupled to the trigger assembly. A fire control located substantially within the trigger assembly and configured to actuate the bolt so as to eject a cartridge and load a subsequent cartridge from a clip.

Abstract: An adaptive rail system 110 for a weapon 100. An elongate body 141 is adapted to couple to a receiver cover 109 of the weapon 110. A rail 130 extends from the body 141. A front extension 134 also extends from the body 141, the front extension being configured to be pivotably coupled to a sight housing 108 of the weapon 100.
