Abstract: A magazine safety for a semi-automatic firearm having a frame, a magazine well, a magazine, and a firing mechanism is provided. The firing mechanism includes a trigger bar and a sear. The magazine safety includes a rod slidably mounted relative to the frame, and a rod biasing spring that acts on the rod and the frame. When the magazine is removed from the magazine well, the rod is biased into engagement with the trigger bar by the rod biasing spring. The rod holds the trigger bar in a “safety-engaged” position where it is out of alignment with the sear, thereby preventing actuation of the firearm. Inserting the magazine completely into the magazine well causes the rod to move thereby enabling the trigger bar to align with the sear and permit actuation of the firearm.

Abstract: A system for processing organic material to produce energy includes a reactor vessel for hydrothermally treating the organic material with water to produce an effluent. In the reactor vessel, the organic material is gasified to produce an effluent containing combustible gases, steam, particulates, salts and corrosive species.

Abstract: In a direct gasoline injection type spark igniting internal combustion engine provided with a turbocharger and a catalyst, in order to optimize an exhaust gas control, the structure is made such that an optimum exhaust gas control can be obtained only by one control valve by designing an arrangement of a pre catalyst, the turbocharger and a bypass exhaust gas passage and placing a control valve. Further, a stratified operation area is expanded by reducing a capacity of the turbocharger, shifting an actuation area to a low capacity side and corresponding to an area of a stratified combustion so as to increase an air amount in the stratified area. Accordingly, since it is possible to early warm up a main catalyst at a time of starting the engine, whereby the exhaust gas is purified, and the air amount in the stratified area is increased, the stratified area expands to a high output side and a fuel consumption is improved.
