A target carrier system and a method of use are disclosed for controlling the presentation of a target during firearms training. The system and method may be used to improve decision making on whether or not to discharge a weapon when exposed to a potential threat.

The present invention provides systems and methods for remote competition involving first and second sets of targets at first and second geographically remote locations. Status, hit and game information including game result information is communicated and received from first and second apps at the first and second locations via a cloud resource, and a competition occurs between users at the first and second locations.

A system and method for detecting hits to a target carrier and taking corrective measures and/or for detecting hits to a target carried by the target carrier may include one or more sensors or cameras disposed in conjunction with the target carrier. The target carrier may be provided with a processor in communication with a sensor, and the processor may also be in communication with a motor and/or actuator of the target carrier. The sensor may be able to sense hits to the target carrier and send a strike signal to the processor in response to such hits. The processor may then take corrective action, such as causing the target carrier to return to a home position, cause the target actuator to turn or edge the target, and/or send a signal to the range operators that the target carrier has been hit. The target carrier may also be provided with a camera for visualizing a target carried by the target carrier.

A fluid detection and reaction apparatus that physically responds to fluid contact. An open-ended chamber with a hinged cover holds a compressed springy material. The cover/lid is subjected to pressure by the compressed springy material to open the chamber end. A latch is formed between the chamber cover and the rim of the chamber end to generate a holding force that keeps the cover in place. The latch is formed by a water-reactive material that is adapted to will fail or sever under stress when wet. When water contacts the water-reactive material, the material tears, allowing the cover to open the chamber and release the springy material.

Disclosed is a dart game apparatus according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus may include: a dart target capable of accommodating a thrown dart pin; a sensing unit sensing a hit location of a thrown dart pin; a controller determining score information depending on each of one or more dart pins thrown by a first player based on information on the hit location, which is received from the sensing unit, determining the determined respective score information of the first player to be output in response to throwing of the respective dart pins, permitting a second player to throw the dart pins when it is sensed that a round of the first player ends, determining the score information depending on each of one or more dart pins thrown by the second player, comparing the determined respective score information of the second player with current score information of the first player, and determining whether the current score information depending on throwing of the dart pins of the second player is output in association with comparison result information based on a result of the comparison; and an output unit outputting the score information depending on the throwing of the dart pins and the result information of the comparison according to the control by the controller.

Electronically controlled target in the form of metal cube that has rotating disc with different aperture sizes 5 and more holes to cover the hit plate of the target for different difficultness to hit the target by the air gun, air rifle or firearm projectile designed to be used for long distance shooting (min 20 yards to max 200 yards). This device will indicate hit by flashing light or on the 2 way RF remote control device by showing exact count of hits to the shooter. This device is fully controlled by the shooter with wireless remote control, shooter does not have to walk to the target to change its hole size. Made from mostly steel and aluminum durable enough to withstand the hits of a projectile. Includes electronic components to control this unit remotely and if needed locally as well. Powered by the battery or solar system.

The invention features methods and devices for controlling bleeding from blood vessels that may be damaged as a result of trauma or impact with an object, such as a bullet or shrapnel. The device may be wearable by a user and include one or more components, such as wound sealant and multiple inflatable balloons/bladders. The device may be integrated into a garment, e.g., a vest, jacket, trousers, or full body suit. Once triggered (automatically or manually), the device may be used to deliver wound sealant to a wound site and/or pressure to the wound site by selective inflation of one or more balloons over exsanguinating blood vessels that may be damaged, thereby stopping or minimizing the bleeding. Alternatively, or in addition, the device may be used to stabilize a wounded wearer for, e.g., transportation purposes, or to provide buoyancy. Devices of the invention may also be used as a blood pressure monitor, as a massaging device, and as a breast pump. Devices and methods of the invention may also be used for repairing or stabilizing machines, such as vehicles (e.g., automobiles and boats).
