The haptic feedback device vibrates when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device may detect the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The visual sensor may be part of an array of visual sensors around a torso of the wearer such that ambient threats around the wearer are captured through the artificial intelligence based threat detection model. A battery unit may be detachable from the tactical gear.

US12392584 - Heat dispersion system for ballistic carrier

A ballistic armor carrier having a heat dispersion system for migrating heat away from between the ballistic carrier and a wearer's body. The ballistic carrier includes a carrier having a pocket for holding a ballistic panel and a thermal panel having a high thermal conductivity disposed within the pocket. The thermal panel wraps around the pocket such that the thermal panel has a first thermal panel portion configured to be positioned to the inside of the ballistic panel and a second thermal panel portion configured to be positioned to the outside of the ballistic panel. The thermal panel migrates heat away from the wearer's body from between carrier and the body to the outside of the carrier and dissipates the heat to the ambient environment.

US12392586 - Dart game apparatus and dart game system providing event effect

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system outputting an event effect. The dart game apparatus may include: a dart target having a plurality of score areas; a sensing unit sensing a hit location of a dart pin in the dart target; a display unit providing a display area surrounding the dart target, provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus, and outputting a variable screen, comprising a touch sensor to detect at least one of a touch pressure, a touched position and a touched area in the display unit; and a controller controlling the display unit at least partially based on the hit location of the dart pin in the dart target.

US12392587 - Deformable hollow dart head for toy dart and toy dart with the same

A deformable hollow dart head for a toy dart includes a dart cap and a connector, the dart cap has a cap top and a cylindrical cap wall extending from a periphery of the cap top, the cap wall is provided with air vents, the connector has a circular base connecting with the cap wall, thereby sealing the dart cap to form a deformable cavity, the material of the dart cap is softer than that of the circular base. At the moment when the dart toy hits a target, the dart cap contacts and impacts the target. The target exerts a reactive force on the dart toy, and the deformable cavity provides deformation space for the dart cap, thereby causing the dart cap to deform and increasing the contact area with the target.

US12392588 - Expanding fin rocket with fin restraint

An expanding fin aerial rocket in combination with a sleeve for restraining the fins prior to deployment. The rocket has an elongate body with a fore end for a warhead and an opposed aft end for motor and guidance fins. The guidance fins are hingedly attached to the rocket body at a proximal end and extend outwardly to a distal end. Fins may be collapsed during storage to conserve space and prevent damage. The springs are outwardly spring biased for flight upon deployment. The rocket has a durable removable sleeve, which fits over the fins during storage, to retract the sleeves into a collapsed position. The sleeve is removed for deployment, so the fins may radially expend to an extended position. The durable sleeve may then be reused for another rocket.
