Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for communicating across electronic components of a device. The device may be a gun, and the device may encode messages to improve the security of the device. The device may obtain a first spreading code, encode, at a first electronic component, a first message according to the first spreading code to produce a first encoded message, transmit the first encoded message from the first electronic component to a second electronic component across a physical communication channel, decode, at the second electronic component, the first encoded message according to the first spreading code, and perform a first action in response to the decoding the first encoded message. The first action may include discharging electric charge from a capacitor bank, charging the capacitor bank, firing a projectile, arming the device, disarming the device, or transmitting data across an additional communication channel.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques, systems, and devices that support indicating gun state information. One or more electronic components may be used to indicate the gun state information, and the electronic components may be coupled with a gun. The gun may identify a state of the gun based on a compute component including a data signal, and the compute component may be coupled with the gun. The gun may select a representation of the state of the gun, where the representation of the state of the gun is compatible with an electronic component coupled with the gun. The gun may indicate, at the electronic component and based on the compute component, the state of the gun with the representation of the state of the gun. Indicating the state of the gun may include displaying an icon, illuminating the electronic component with a color, or pulsating the electronic component.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for monitoring the transfer of electric charge and determining whether a threshold amount of electric charge has been transferred. Aspects of the present disclosure may be performed by a fire control system, and the fire control system may be implemented in a gun. The fire control system may generate an integrated voltage using an integrator to integrate a current induced voltage that is present across a resistor, compare the integrated voltage against a reference voltage to determine whether the integrated voltage exceeds the reference voltage, and generate an output voltage that indicates whether the integrated voltage exceeds the reference voltage. The output voltage may be generated based on comparing the integrated voltage against the reference voltage using a comparator circuit, and the reference voltage may correspond to a threshold amount of electric charge.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an electromechanical sear that is implementable in a gun. The gun may include a fire control manager, and the fire control manager may identify a trigger break based on a trigger sensor, transmit, based on the trigger break, a first signal to a first actuator located in a displacement path of a sear, so as to cause the first actuator to be displaced in a first direction, and transmit, based on the trigger break, a second signal to a second actuator located in the displacement path of the sear, so as to cause the second actuator to be displaced in a second direction. The transmitting the first signal to the first actuator and the transmitting the second signal to the second actuator may cause displacement of the sear and firing of the gun.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an attachment that can be fastened to a gun. The attachment may include a top surface having a longitudinal axis and an aiming sight that is parallel with the longitudinal axis, a front surface having a latitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the front surface including a muzzle aperture, a left surface, a right surface, and a fastening system. The fastening system may include a first mounting aperture of the left surface, a second mounting aperture of the right surface, and a locking pin capable of being positioned in the first mounting aperture and in the second mounting aperture such that the locking pin fastens the attachment to the gun. The attachment may be fastened to the gun such that the longitudinal axis is parallel with a longitudinal bore axis of the gun.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for authenticating a user at gun. The gun may include an authentication manager capable of implementing logic, processing signals, or executing instructions. The authentication manager may receive first query data from a first authentication sensor of the gun, receive second query data from a second authentication sensor of the gun, perform an authentication procedure to determine whether the first query data or the second query data matches enrollment data, where a match is determined based on the first query data or the second query data and the enrollment data satisfying a similarity threshold. The authentication manager may determine that the user is authorized to operate the gun and transmit a signal in response to the determining that the user is authorized to operate the gun. The signal may cause the gun to enter an active state which allows the gun to be fired.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and techniques that can be implemented at a gun, such as an electromechanical gun. The gun may include a barrel located within a slide and a cylindrical spring enveloping the barrel. The barrel may be configured to act as a guide rod for the cylindrical spring, and the cylindrical spring may be configured to bias the slide in a forward battery position. The gun may include an electronic component such as an energy store, a processor, or a circuit board, located under the barrel and forward of the trigger when the gun is in an upright position. The gun may include a physical transmission medium that electronically couples the electronic component with an additional electronic component located rearward of the trigger, and the physical transmission medium may be at least partially encapsulated by a trigger guard.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for determining whether a user is holding a gun. The gun may include a sensor, such as a laser proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a load cell, an accelerometer, or a biometric sensor, and the gun may determine whether a user is holding the gun based on an output generated by the sensor. A processor housed in the gun may identify activation of a proximity sensor, determine that a user is holding the gun based on the activation of the proximity sensor, and perform an action in response to determining that the user is holding the gun. The action performed by the processor may include performing a boot procedure, performing a health check procedure, visually indicating state information about the gun, audibly indicating state information about the gun, or tactilely indicating state information about the gun.
