Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090120420Paintball marker - A paintball marker with a barrel that is coupled to a receiver. A valve arrangement is provided to selectively vent gas to propel projectiles through the barrel responsive to actuation of a firing mechanism. The marker may include a tool box that is capable of being coupled with the receiver. In some embodiments, the tool box resembles a magazine that feeds projectiles into the receiver.05-14-2009
20090194088NON-LETHAL PROJECTILE LAUNCHER WITH SPLIT RECEIVER - A non-lethal projectile launcher (such as a paintball marker) having a clamshell type receiver. One side of the receiver may be split into a front portion and a rear portion that can be independently detached from the other side. This allows the rear portion to be detached to provide access to internal components without requiring removal of the entire side of the receiver.08-06-2009
20100224180PAINTBALL MARKER WITH CONFIGURABLE SUPPLY LINE - A paintball marker with a barrel that is coupled to a receiver. A valve arrangement is provided to selectively vent gas to propel projectiles through the barrel responsive to actuation of a firing mechanism. The marker may be configured to provide fluid communication between the valve arrangement and a compressed gas source through either a first supply line passageway or a second supply line passageway.09-09-2010
20100252014COMBINATION NON-LETHAL PROJECTILE LAUNCHER AND FLASH LIGHT - An apparatus for firing a non-lethal projectile comprises a body with an internal cavity. A light source may be disposed in the cavity to illuminate an area outside the body. A firing mechanism may also be provided to cause a projectile to be propelled through the body.10-07-2010
20110120437NON-LETHAL PISTOL - A non-lethal pistol for propelling projectiles, such as paintballs. The pistol has a body with a grip portion and a barrel. A canister of propellant received in the body to supply a valve assembly with propellant that is selectively vented to propel projectiles through the barrel. The pistol includes a firing mechanism adapted to actuate the valve assembly.05-26-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100125486System and method for determining supply chain performance standards - A method for generating supply chain performance standards comprises receiving historical supply chain data associated with a supply chain and determining a confidence factor associated with the historical supply chain data. The method also includes generating one or more supply chain simulation files based on the historical supply chain data and establishing a plurality of supply chain settings associated with the one or more supply chain simulation files. Performance of the supply chain is predicted by simulating the one or more supply chain simulation files based on the plurality of supply chain settings. One or more supply chain performance standards are estimated based on the predicted performance of the supply chain and the confidence factor associated with the historical supply chain data.05-20-2010
20100125487System and method for estimating settings for managing a supply chain - A method for estimating supply chain settings comprises receiving historical supply chain data and generating one or more supply chain simulation files based on the historical supply chain data. A plurality of supply chain settings associated with the one or more supply chain simulation files is established and the one or more supply chain simulation files are simulated based on the plurality of supply chain settings. The performance of the supply chain is predicted over a time period associated with the historical supply chain data based on the simulation, and data indicative of the predicted performance of the supply chain is provided to a subscriber.05-20-2010

20110250704Aldehyde Tags, Uses Thereof in Site-Specific Protein Modification - The invention features compositions and methods for site-specific modification of proteins by incorporation of an aldehyde tag. Enzymatic modification at a sulfatase motif of the aldehyde tag through action of a formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE) generates a formylglycine (FGly) residue. The aldehyde moiety of FGly residue can be exploited as a chemical handle for site-specific attachment of a moiety of interest to a polypeptide.10-13-2011

20100318813NETWORK SECURITY DEVICE AND METHOD - The invention describes a method for hardening a security mechanism against physical intrusion and substitution attacks. A user establishes a connection between a network peripheral device and a network via a security mechanism. The security mechanism includes read only memory (ROM) that contains code that initiates operation of the mechanism and performs authentication functions. A persistent memory contains configuration information. A volatile memory stores user and device identification information that remains valid only for a given session and is erased thereafter to prevent a future security breach. A tamper-evident enclosure surrounds the memory elements, which if breached, becomes readily apparent to the user.12-16-2010

20080266321System and method for masking and overlaying images in multiple projector system - Various embodiments of a system and method for masking and overlaying images in a multiple projector system are disclosed.10-30-2008
20090021702Multi-projection kiosk for digital signage - A projection kiosk for a multi-projector digital signage system includes an enclosure and a frame disposed therein. The frame includes attachment points which can hold in position a plurality of projectors. The projectors may be aligned with sub-pixel-resolution accuracy to enable projection of pixel-aligned images onto a screen. The enclosure includes a heat ducting subsystem configured to direct air into the enclosure, duct air through the projectors, and discharge air away from a projection path between the plurality of projectors and the screen.01-22-2009
20090027304Projector alignment in a multiple-projector projection system - Projector alignment in a multiple-projector projection system is checked by determining a location of at least a portion of a boundary of an image field projected by at least one of the projectors and comparing the determined location of the at least the portion of the image field to a system-calibrated reference location of the at least the portion of the boundary of the image field.01-29-2009
20090033874SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROJECTING AN IMAGE USING A PLURALITY OF PROJECTORS - A device and method is provided for projecting an image within a defined content area using a plurality of projectors configured to each project a portion of an image. The device comprises a defined content area into which the image is projected by the plurality of projectors. A first group of projectors can be selected from the plurality of projectors and set at a first zoom level, then aligned and superpositioned with respect to one another to increase the pixel resolution and brightness of the projected image. The projectors can project a majority of projector light within the content area. A second group of projectors can be selected from the plurality of projectors, set at a second zoom level, aligned and superpositioned adjacent each other to project a majority of projector light within the content area. The first group of projectors can be superimposed with the second group of projectors to fill the content area and increase the pixel resolution and brightness of the projected image.02-05-2009

20090164464Matching Process System And Method - A method for profile matching includes receiving a plurality of user profiles, each user profile comprising traits of a respective user. The method includes receiving a preference indication for a first user profile of the plurality of user profiles. The method also includes determining a potential match user profile of the plurality of user profiles based on the preference indication for the first user profile. The method also includes presenting the potential match user profile to a second user.06-25-2009
