A fire starter kit that includes a frame, a scratcher, a sparking road, and at least one fuel reservoir. The frame is having a first end, a second end, a middle region, a recess provided on the middle region, and a first slot provided along the first end, the second end and partially through the middle region. The scratcher removably mounted in the recess, wherein the scratcher is having at least one blade provided with a plurality of tooths. The sparking rod is removably mounted within the first slot, wherein the sparking rod is configured to produce sparks when scratched with the scratcher.

A device includes a prime illuminator to throw light on an object. The prime illuminator defines a center of throw of the light, and luminescent dispersion from the light. The device is configured to be attached to a bottom of a magazine. The magazine with the device is configured to be inserted in a magazine insert of a firearm. The center throw of light from the prime illuminator is configured to be vertically lower from a bore axis that extends longitudinally through a geometric center of a muzzle of the firearm. Further, the luminescent dispersion from the prime illuminator is configured to be pointing towards the object, and the muzzle of the firearm is configured to be directed away from the object, when the firearm is configured to be raised in a high ready position or in a compressed high ready position.

A rifle pistol training assembly comprises an inert training pistol and a rifle chassis. The inert training pistol in one form is a widely commercially available sirt training pistol. The SIRT training pistol has an auto resetting trigger and emits a shot indicating laser when a trigger is pressed. And further, in a preferred form, this SIRT pistol has a second laser generally referred to as a trigger take-up laser which is activated prior from a full break of a trigger for various training and safety needs. Further, the inert training pistol can be a variety of forms of inert pistols of non-configurative fire and live round.

Integrated pistol and rifle training method and apparatus

A training pistol and method of providing the same having fixedly and adjustably removable base extensions to emulate the feel of a corresponding live fire pistol, a trigger mechanism configured to be fit in a compact pistol to provide a large number and sophistication of sear surfaces and biasing members such as helical springs and lasers into a compact pistol to provide training for an end user such as concealed carry holder or law enforcement personnel.

A system for providing a solar harvesting building envelope is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of solar harvesting apparatus configured to be installed as or on a building envelope in a manner like that of traditional shingles or siding. The apparatus includes a frame having a photovoltaic end wall, and reflective base and side walls. A translucent, wedge-shaped body layer is positioned on the frame. A luminescent species film is positioned at and substantially parallel to a base of the wedge-shaped body layer, such that the luminescent species film is positioned at an angle relative to the photovoltaic end wall. Light incident on the wedge-shaped body layer is concentrated towards the photovoltaic end wall, such as through absorption and re-emission along with scattering by the luminescent species film and internal reflection by the wedge-shaped body layer and the reflective base and side walls of the frame. A plurality of apparatus may be wired together to create the building envelope, which has the added advantage of substantially eliminating shading losses of traditional solar harvesting systems.

A pinch-off pliers possessing a canted orientation along the length. The pinch-off pliers has a first clamping unit, a second clamping unit, and an axial mechanism. The pinch-off pliers positioned along a first axis and a second axis, where the first axis is not parallel to the second axis. An intersection of the first axis and the second axis along the length of the pinch-off pliers creates a canting angle theta in the pinch-off pliers at the intersection. An intersection of a first plane and a third plane creates a second canting angle omega when having the pinch-off pliers positioned along the first axis and an intersecting fourth axis.

Based on a user's current action in an application, a set of the most likely actions to be taken next by a user is determined, such as based on a historical sequence of actions that the user, or a number of other users, have taken in the past. Based on historical sequence of events, a predictive GUI may be generated that can be dynamically updated automatically based on actions that are determined to be undertaken next by the user.

Predictive graphical user interfaces

A firearm training tool having a shot indicating system in further in one form a trigger take-up indicating system. The trigger module is adjustable to adjust various properties of the trigger.

A customer operated counter-top terminal system activates various debit card transactions, provides secure communications with a host computer database, and issues a decrypted authorization code to the customer. The system consists of a main terminal unit with an alphanumeric display. The main terminal unit carries a CPU, memory, and all interface devices, including a keypad for the entry of Personal Identification Numbers (PIN), plus programmable function keys and a swipe reader for reading various cards. The main terminal unit further includes a printer for printing receipts for use by a customer and retailer. The system also includes a remote hand-held keyboard having a keyboard display, typically to be held by a clerk for providing a level of privacy desirable to the customer. The system permits processing services to merchants, allowing them to accept all credit and ATM cards for the purchase of goods or services provided by their establishment, thus providing the advantage of a guaranteed payment for the merchant.

An intracoronal bristle brush for preparing a tooth cavum comprising a plurality of bristles and a dental bit having a first portion being a shank adapted to be received by a dentist's handpiece and a second portion for receiving the plurality of bristles. The plurality of bristles emanate outwardly in a uniform manner from an axial hole within the second portion. The diameter of the intracoronal bristle brush dental bit ranges from substantially uniform to a tapered diameter towards the second portion such that the bristles of the brush may penetrate into an interior surface of a tooth cavum.
