20060162601 - Device and system for identifying an unknow or unmarked slave device such as in an electronic blasting system: A system such as an electronic blasting system, and a slave device for use in the system, in which a command is issued by a master device to all slave devices connected to the system, causing all slave devices that have not been identified to the master device to respond...

20060162602 - Device for generating pyrotechnic effects: A simple device for generating pyrotechnic effects, in which an enveloping body (11) is formed from a plurality of interconnected plate-like layers between which the pyrotechnic charges (10) as well as the igniter means (12) are embedded. A configuration of the igniter means (12) as heating resistors, in particular as...

20060162603 - Gun firing method for the simultaneous dispersion of projectiles in a pattern: A gun firing method for multiple projectiles to be fired simultaneously in a predetermined symmetrical pattern, whereby some of the multiple projectiles are modified by moving the center of mass of the projectile away from it's central axis. This in combination with bring fired from a rifled gun barrel will...

20060162604 - Tandem warhead: A method for attacking a target, the method including first, deploying a plurality of projectiles in the trajectory path of the target, and second, positioning a blast fragmentation warhead proximate the target and initiating the blast fragmentation warhead so that any portions of the target which survive the blast fragmentation...

20060162605 - Piezoelectric stun projectile: The present invention provides a non-lethal projectile for delivering an electric pulse to a target. In one aspect of the invention, the projectile utilizes a piezoelectric device and an electrical oscillating circuit in order to generate a pulse. In another aspect of the invention, the projectile utilizes a piezoelectric device...

20060162606 - Short magnum shotshell cartridge and firing assembly: A sabot-retaining shotshell cartridge and firing assembly including a barrel or barrel insert for firing the sabot-retaining shotshell cartridge. The shotshell cartridge includes a cylindrical hull, a sub-caliber projectile, a propellant charge, and a sabot. A central pathway or thin membrane is defined within the base of the sabot between...

20060162607 - Micro gas generator with automatic ignition function: A micro gas generator with an automatic ignition function operated before being weakened by heat without impairing the cleanliness of exhaust gas, comprising gas generating agent, a cup body for filling the gas generating agent therein, and a holder formed integrally with squibs and fixedly sealing the squibs in the...

20060156943 - Paintball grenade: A paintball grenade having an outer bladder and an inner bladder. The outer bladder has a first open end, an opposite second open end, and a cavity therethrough. The inner bladder has a closed end and an open end. The inner bladder is capable of being inserted into the outer...

20060150855 - Gas generator: A gas generator comprising a first cup case 3 packing therein gas generant 2 to generate gas by the burning of it, a squib 5 having a second cup case E arranged in an inside of the first cup case 3 and containing an ignition charge D, a squib case...

20060150856 - Pyrotechnic device with ignition delay: The invention relates to a pyrotechnic device (10) comprising an ignition delay between a fuse or igniter and a device to be ignited, consisting of: a first element (18) which defines a first space (18) that houses at least one fuse or igniter; and a second element (12) which communicates...

20060144278 - Methods for testing single-use devices: Methods for testing single-use electrical devices (e.g., explosive detonators and initiators) are provided to ensure operating reliability of such devices when used in the field. These methods facilitate testing of non-destructible components of single-use electrical devices at operating parameters during production or anytime before field use....

20060144279 - Coreless-coil shock tube package system: A coreless-coil shock tube package system includes a “coreless” bundle of shock tubing, meaning that the tubing is not wrapped around a spool. The bundle may be a generally cylindrical coil of shock tubing. Optionally, two washer-like end plates abut the ends of the tubing coil for axial support. A...
