International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707100, 706 55, 707 5

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are disclosed for producing a semantic representation of information in a semantic space. The information is first represented in a table that stores values which indicate a relationship with predetermined categories. The categories correspond to dimensions in the semantic space. The significance of the information with respect to the predetermined categories is then determined. A trainable semantic vector (TSV) is constructed to provide a semantic representation of the information. The TSV has dimensions equal to the number of predetermined categories and represents the significance of the information relative to each of the predetermined categories. Various types of manipulation and analysis, such as searching, classification, and clustering, can subsequently be performed on a semantic level.

Assignee:

Crosman Corporation - East Bloomfield NY

International Classification:

F41G 1/00

US Classification:

42135, 42136, 42137, 42140

Abstract:

An adjustable front sight includes a carrier with a spiral sighting blade mounted for rotation within a base attached directly or indirectly to a barrel. A progression of sight lands is formed along a peripheral surface of the spiral sighting blade. Rotation of the carrier in opposite directions moves different sight lands into a sighting position at varying heights above the barrel for making elevation adjustments.

Filed:

Oct 5, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/538986

Inventors:

Eduard Kaminker - Rochester NY, US
James M. Martin - Canby OR, US
David C. Snyder - Palmyra NY, US
Robert Reifsnyder - Farmington NY, US

Assignee:

Crosman Corporation - East Bloomfield NY

International Classification:

F41B 11/00

US Classification:

124 74, 124 71, 124 56

Abstract:

A magazine assembly presents a pressure cartridge to a compressed gas powered device, such as a gun, wherein the magazine assembly has a cartridge support biased with respect to a magazine to urge the pressure cartridge to a short (or seated) position, wherein an interlock plate is biased to engage the cartridge support. The bias on the interlock plate is overcome during insertion of the magazine assembly into a magazine chamber, at which point the cartridge support moves relative to the magazine in response to a seated length of the pressure cartridge. The bias on the interlock plate then controls the positioning of the interlock plate to engage the cartridge support and retain the pressure cartridge relative to the magazine assembly. A lever connected to the gun then engages the magazine assembly to translate the magazine assembly relative to the gun and pierce the pressure cartridge.

Appl. No.:

11/968460

Inventors:

Russell D. Page - Palmyra NY, US
David C. Snyder - Palmyra NY, US

Assignee:

Crosman Corporation - East Bloomfield NY

International Classification:

F41B 11/00

US Classification:

124 76, 124 73

Abstract:

A pre-charged pneumatic airgun includes a reservoir, a stopper, a barrel and a manually actuated degassing tool. The reservoir contains a volume of compressed fluid and includes a discharge port disposed therein through which the compressed fluid is selectively discharged from the reservoir. The stopper is disposed in the discharge port and is moveable between a normal position sealing the discharge port in an actuated position allowing passage of the compressed air through the discharge port. The stopper is biased to the normal position by a biasing force. The barrel is in fluid communication with the discharge port. When the stopper is disposed in the discharged position, the compressed fluid discharged through the discharge port is further exhausted through the barrel. The manually actuated degassing tool is disposed in the air gun for manually overcoming the biasing force to move the stopper from a normal position to the actuated position, and for maintaining the stopper in the actuated position to degas the reservoir.
