| 20110173865 | RAIL FOR INDUCTIVELY POWERING FIREARM ACCESSORIES - A method and system for an inductively powering rail on a firearm to power accessories such as: telescopic sights, tactical sights, laser sighting modules, and night vision scopes. This is achieved by having primary and secondary electromagnets (U-Cores) on both the inductively powering rail and the accessory. Once the electromagnets are in contact, the accessory is able to obtain power through induction via the inductively powering rail. Accessories may be attached to various fixture points on the inductively powering rail and are detected by the firearm when attached and detached. When attached, power and data communications may flow between the accessory and a master CPU located on the firearm. Accessories that are attached to the inductively powering rail and have rechargeable power systems may be recharged via the inductive power rail. Further, accessories that have power that is not needed may be transferred to other accessories. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110259183 | ELECTRO-MECHANICAL FIREARM TRIGGER MECHANISM - An electro-mechanical firearm trigger mechanism for controlling the rate of fire for a firearm in automatic firing mode. The controlling being achieved through the use of a solenoid directed by a computer processor. The computer processor being connected to multiple sensors to instruct the solenoid on a rate of fire or to disengage automatic fire if needed. | 10-27-2011 |
