| 20110120291 | NON-FIRING HOUSING IMITATING A FUNCTIONING RECEIVER FOR A FIREARM - A non-firing housing imitates a functioning receiver for a semi-automatic or fully automatic gun. The non-firing housing includes a thick sidewall that is thicker than the corresponding sidewall of the functioning receiver such that the non-firing housing prohibits the receipt of at least one of the required firing components that are received in the functioning receiver to create a functioning gun, thus prohibiting the use of the non-firing housing as a functioning receiver in a semi-automatic or fully automatic gun. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110146484 | RIFLE STRIKING MECHANISM FOR SEMI-AUTOMATIC OPERATION - A striking mechanism for the semi-automatic operation of a cartridge firing firearm includes a receiver, a barrel attached to the receiver and providing a breach, an op rod assembly, and a bolt adapted for reciprocating movement within the receiver and engagable with the breach of the barrel and the face of a cartridge chambered therein.

A bolt link assembly is pivotally connected to the bolt lock means and to the op rod assembly. The bolt link assembly provides a bolt link transfer pin. An op rod transfer pin is carried by the op rod assembly and can engage the bolt link transfer pin. A linear hammer can engage the op rod transfer pin such that, when a cartridge is chambered and the primary firing pin, the bolt link transfer pin and the op rod transfer pin are in alignment, the force of the linear hammer engaging the op rod transfer pin is transferred through the op rod transfer pin, the bolt link transfer pin and the primary firing pin to strike the primer of a cartridge chambered within the barrel. The striking mechanism is incorporated into prior art fully-automatic firearms to convert them to semi-automatic operation, and methods for such conversion are included. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20110274153 | FLEXIBLE TIMEBASE FOR EYE DIAGRAM - A flexible timebase for eye diagrams uses a stable free running oscillator as a sample clock for equivalent time sampling of an input serial digital signal and of a reference signal, such as a sine wave, derived from a subdivided recovered clock of the input serial digital signal. The reference signal samples are provided to a digital phase-locked loop that provides the flexible timebase to an eye pattern generator. The eye pattern generator accumulates the input serial digital signal samples at times corresponding to the reference signal samples to produce the eye diagram. A linear phase detector in the digital phase locked loop converts the reference signal samples to a complex signal using a Hilbert transform and then to a linear ramp of phase values using a CORDIC algorithm with arctangent lookup table. A subtractor is then used to subtract the digital phase-locked loop feedback from the linear ramp to provide the input to the loop filter. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20110155019 | HEAT RESISTANT AND FIRE RETARDANT MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR PREPARING SAME - A silica cement blend having an insulating, fire retarding and high temperature characteristic capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from ambient to greater than 40000 F without degradation of the concrete structure. In addition to its high temperature capabilities the blend can be produced as ultra light weight to heavy weight concrete. The silica based mixture when added to cementitious materials such as Portland cement, Class C Fly Ash, silica fume and other cementitious materials. Presented also are methods for reducing fire damage by coating interior/exterior walls, ceiling, and roofs of a building with a water based latex coating containing a fire retardant material and low heat conductivity silicas. Methods for painting internal/external walls, ceilings, and roof are also presented. This coating retains thermal blocking properties comprised of processed, expanded and/or finely milled, pyrogenic silicas and micro spheres in combination of but not limited to, one, two or more component water based polymer/copolymer latex binders and a water born fluoropolymer emulsion. The combined properties of these elements create a coating similar to paint with a high level of thermatic resistance which slows the composition break-down from fire, extreme temperatures, and restricts the thermal conductivity which helps to preserve the integrity of the substructure or underlying materials. The properties of this coating reduce or slow the potential of catastrophic fire by retarding flashover and protecting the under structure; which in turn assist fire fighters and rescue personnel by helping to retard the potential of a catastrophic fire. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100085248 | Method of Compactly Communicating Ionospheric and Tropospheric Corrections in a Network of Global Navigation System Satellite Receivers - A method of communicating corrections for information related to satellite signals among global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers is described. An ionosphere correction for ionosphere signal path delay is determined for a first satellite. This ionosphere correction is then compared to an ionosphere correction for ionosphere signal path delay for a satellite assumed to be directly over the receiver. The receiver then sends a message which includes only the difference between the ionosphere correction for the actual observation and the ionosphere correction for a satellite assumed to be at the zenith. | 04-08-2010 |

The message identification block includes information specifying a message length and a message type block specifying a message type. Rather than sending all data from one apparatus to another, ambiguous observation data is sent to conserve bandwidth. At the sender a deconstruction of GNSS code and carrier observations using knowledge of the signal structure and constellation geometry, together with simplifications of atmospheric models, allows removal from the observation data of that information which can be implicitly understood or recreated by the recipient. This enables only the necessary information to be packed for transmission to the recipient. | 04-08-2010 |

The method includes determining at a first GNSS receiver which satellites in a constellation of satellites have been continuously tracked over a preceding selected time period, and for each such satellite determining its elevation with respect to the zenith. Only the elevation value for the lowest satellite in the set of satellites for which all satellites of higher elevation values have been continuously tracked over the selected time period is then transmitted to the second GNSS receiver. That receiver can then reconstruct the set of satellites which have been continuously tracked. | 04-08-2010 |
