Patent number: 10697740Abstract: A label comprising some figures that can be recognized by infrared vision devices. The main object is to put a figure surface on or near a reference surface and cooling one of these surfaces, in order to achieve “cool” surface and “warm” surface, enabling infrared vision devices to discriminate between the surfaces. The cooling of the surface is achieved by a “Latent heat” effect due to a evaporation of a liquid absorbed on said surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2017Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: RESHET GRAF LTD.Inventor: Oron Ohayon

Patent number: 10697743Abstract: A casing for use in a cartridge for a firearm comprises a sleeve and attached base. The sleeve has cylindrical portion with a mouth for holding a bullet and an opposing radially-running bulkhead from which extends a nipple that is secured within a passageway of the base by a lip at the nipple terminal end. There are one or more seal regions in the passageway. A sleeve is preferably made of austenitic stainless steel and there are differing hardness and magnetic properties along the sleeve length. Particularly for high pressure rounds, the bulkhead has a frusto-conical portion with one or more circumferential waves and mates with a conical depression in the surface of the base; optionally, a skirt around the periphery of the base provides support to the sleeve bulkhead. A base has a deep cannelure with a continuously curving groove bottom, enabling a base to be made of an iron alloy into which carbon is diffused to enable hardening, after machining.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: SHELL SHOCK TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Anthony Viggiano, Volodymyr Drobockyi

Patent number: 10697744Abstract: A broadhead assembly including a main body, a pivoting blade, a trailing arm, and a collar, so as to permit the selection of multiple cutting diameters. The blade is coupled to the main body proximate to the tip. The blade is configured to pivot about an axis in communication with the main body to operate between a first position and a second position. The blade includes a socket along a trailing edge. A trailing arm extends between the main body and the blade and has a disc for insertion into the socket. The collar selectively regulates rotation of the trailing arm and therefor the pivoting of the blades so as to vary the cutting diameter. The collar is configured to include channels of different depths and slopes and restricts rotation of the trailing arm by particular alignment of the trailing arm with a particular set of channels.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Inventor: Kye Kinzer

Patent number: 10697745Abstract: The present invention discloses an ammunition device or pellet suitable for use with gas fired guns, such as paintballing guns. The pellets have a body and a charge that are arranged as a single unit of formed as separate parts which are assembled for use. The body can be single use or reusable. The charge contains marking material and is a single-use portion arranged to be adjacent to the body. The charge has breakable outer shell for surrounding marking material.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2017Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: IFTF Holding LtdInventor: David Kenneth Cooper

Patent number: 10697746Abstract: A device for organizing, conveying and placing ammunition cases consists of a module with an array of funnels on the top face. When cases are poured onto the top face the funnels direct the cases into bores below, generally with the heavy end (rim and extractor groove end) down. Edges of apertures in a plate which slides in a slot in the bottom of the module engage the extractor groove in each case and secure the cases between the plate and module with spring pressure. After securing the cases they may be conveyed to another location at which point the spring may be compressed to release the cases leaving them arranged neatly. A tray is used to contain and interface with a plurality of modules. By adjusting wedges in the tray, the plates in the module assemblies engaged by the wedges are caused to operate as described previously.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Inventor: Carson Anthony Lutz

Patent number: 10697748Abstract: A shape measuring apparatus includes a probe head that changes its posture by rotational motion of a first drive axis and a second drive axis, and a coordinate measuring machine that three-dimensionally displaces a location of the probe head by three translation axes (a third drive axis, a fourth drive axis, and a fifth drive axis). The location of a measurement tip is given by coordinate values of the third to fifth drive axes, and the posture of a probe head is given by a first rotating angle ? and a second rotating angle ?. An intersection point between a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis is set as a rotation center Q. An interpolation point in each control period is calculated for each of the first to fifth drive axes.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: MITUTOYO CORPORATIONInventor: Takashi Noda

Patent number: 10697749Abstract: The reed tube cane diameter meas irement tool may hold a tube cane between a base plate and a centering block and may center the tube cane under the centering block. The reed tube cane diameter measurement tool may support a dial indicator above the cane atop an arch such that the dial indicator plunger may determine the diameter of the tube cane. The tube cane, if selected to have a desired diameter, may be split, shaved, bent, tied, or otherwise processed to create a reed suitable for use with a wind instrument. As a non-limiting example, the wind instrument may be an oboe. A vie wing angle adjuster may improve the visibility of the dial indicator by tilting the reed tube cane diameter measurement tool such that the readout of the dial indicator faces the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Inventor: William L.

Patent number: 10697750Abstract: A method of operating a measurement device to check an internal thread of a spark plug bore for proper orientation of a spark plug includes positioning a cylinder head relative to the measurement device and measuring a seat surface z-position. The seat surface is configured to seat the spark plug within the spark plug bore. The method includes measuring at least one set of coordinates. Each set of coordinates is at a major diameter of a corresponding threadform of the internal thread. The method includes determining a pitch of the internal thread. The method includes calculating a thread start location where the major diameter of the internal thread intersects the seat surface based on the coordinates of the at least one set of coordinates, the pitch of the internal thread, and the z position of the seat surface. The method includes comparing the thread start location to a reference location.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventor: Ethan Hughey
