20110119332 | MOVEMENT ANIMATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - The invention relates to methods and apparatus for movement animation of a user-controlled entity in a virtual environment. Entity tracking data is stored on a server in order to track movement of the entity in the virtual environment.

The server uses the received data to select an appropriate animation for the entity. The server then transmits data identifying the selected animation to the client, thus controlling animation of the entity on the client. By using animation data to simulate movement of the entity, along with keeping an accurate representation of the movement of the entity in the virtual environment, the server may control the entity accurately and therefore animation of the entity may be more realistic. | 05-19-2011 |

Environment data occurring prior to data indicating the occurrence of a shot by the projectile weapon is retained for subsequent evaluation. Such environment data includes, but is not limited to, ambient audio data, video data produced by a video camera associated with the projectile weapon, GPS data representing locations of the projectile weapon, electronic compass data representing orientations of the projectile weapon and acceleration data representing accelerations of the projectile weapon. | 11-19-2009 |
20100122483 | FIREARM BOLT - An improved bolt carrier for a firearm is provided that improves the overall reliability and performance of the firearm bolt assembly. The bolt carrier includes a bolt with a body having a number of lugs extending therefrom. The bolt includes an extractor recess sized and configured to avoid any undercut of the lugs adjacent the recess. The bolt also includes an extractor pivotably engaged in a recess formed in the bolt. The extractor has a pair nipples on flanges configured to engage a pair of integrally buffered springs disposed on a tapered spring well on either side of a firing pin bore extending through the bolt. | 05-20-2010 |
20110179945 | Gas Operating Systems, Subsystems, Components and Processes - A gas operating system for a firearm includes a gas block, a barrel nut that maintains the gas block at a predetermined axial position on a barrel of the firearm, a member that is movable with respect to the gas block axially with respect to the barrel in response to pressure exerted by expanding propellant gases conveyed thereto by the gas block and a mechanical linkage receiving a force form the member urging it in an axial direction of the barrel and coupled with a loading and ejection mechanism of the firearm to convey the force thereto for operating the loading and ejection mechanism. Various embodiments of gas block assemblies and operating rods for gas operating systems for firearms are provided. | 07-28-2011 |
