A jewelry display includes a ferromagnetic planar substrate and a bracket configured to be attached to a wall. The bracket has at least one wall engagement surface disposed along an inner surface and at least one ferromagnetic planar substrate engagement surface disposed along an outer surface. An adhesive backed non-slip covering adhesively attaches to the substrate engagement surface. At least one bracket magnet is disposed on the inner surface of the bracket. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate, each jewelry fixture having at least one permanent fixture magnet and a jewelry holding structure, where the at least one permanent fixture magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate.

Gun and ammunition solutions which permit the use of High Explosive (HE) rounds and Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) rounds in one weapon. A first system has a gun barrel chamber sized to receive the outer cases of both APFSDS and HE rounds. The chamber has a smooth rear section which abuts a front section having internal helical rifling. A HE round has an outer case with a length that is the same as the length of the smooth rear section of the barrel. A projectile held by the case has a rotating band on a rear end configured to engage the internal helical rifling in the chamber. A second system has a conventional smooth barrel and utilizes a HE round with an outer case having internal rifling in a forward section. A projectile held by the outer case has a circular band mounted to rotate about a rear end thereof to engage the internal rifling.

Pressure relief holes are sized and positioned on each fin of a projectile to allow high pressure from one side of the fin due to canard and fin interaction to bleed to a low pressure area on the opposite side of the fin. The location of the pressure relief holes target pressure differences due to canard roll control downwash while not affecting pressure differences due to projectile attitude. The fin planform area remains small enough to meet packaging and fire requirements for this type of munition and large enough to aerodynamically stabilize the airframe thereby enabling a more robust pitch and yaw autopilot design.

A method is provided of generating a course-correction signal for a spin-stabilized projectile. The method includes capturing a time-sequence of images of a scene at a frame rate, comparing respective current images of the time-sequence of images to a corresponding previous image of the time-sequence of images, determining a rotation angle between the current and previous images, rotating the images using the rotation angle, identifying a target in the rotated images, generating target bearing angles to cause the projectile to correct its course toward the target using the target bearing angles, and adjusting the target bearing angles to compensate for the rotation of the images.

A covered projectile that includes a projectile having a nose portion, a middle portion, a rear portion, and a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the rear portion, and a jacket that surrounds at least a portion of the projectile and includes an exterior surface and an interior surface. The jacket includes a front cone. A plurality of annular grooves are defined in the exterior surface of the jacket.

The present invention relates to projectiles and munitions, and more specifically to such in flight. More particularly the present invention relates to projectiles and munitions in flight equipped with one or more image sensors adapted for acquiring image data of the environment surrounding the projection or munition in flight. The present invention further relates to systems and methods for correcting or stabilizing motion effects and artifacts present in the image data related to the movement or motion of the projectile or munition in flight, including spin or rotation of the projectile or munition.

Accessories may be mounted using a quick-detachable multi-purpose accessory mounting platform. The platform may include one or more clamps to receive an object, such as a firearm. The platform also may include at least one recessed mounting pad, at least one rear shelf, and other surfaces to provide different mounting points for accessories.
