International Classification:

G01J 106

US Classification:

250353, 2503381, 25033914, 25033915, 250340

Abstract:

The present invention is a device for detecting modulated or active infrared light comprises a photodiode mounted on the base aperture of a wave guide for focusing infrared light onto the photodiode. The wave guide is preferably pyramid shaped and has a reflective surface on the inner surface. The apex of the wave guide comprises an acute angle from about 5 degrees to about 10 degrees. Units to process the signal and amplify the signal are attached thereto. The device may also include a Fresnel lens and a means to adjust the voltage of the active infrared signal processing means to improve detection capabilities.

Michael L. Greene - Fort Washington MD
David R Keene - Woodbridge VA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

F42C 000

US Classification:

102426, 102402, 102276

Abstract:

The present invention comprises a mechanical timer that operates by using the ambient temperature differences during daytime and nighttime periods in order to count desired intervals of days, months, etc. Embodiments of the invention employ the timer to render safe land mines or other ordnance devices after a specified period of time. Because the present invention uses ambient temperature differences in order to operate, no outside power source is required.

Appl. No.:

10/672587

Inventors:

Michael L. Greene - Fort Washington MD
Jacob Tallman - Indian Head MD

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

F42B 100

US Classification:

102309, 102306, 102476

Abstract:

The invention comprises a device that uses a flexible material, preferably in a mostly square shape, having substantially orthogonal grooves scored into one side. An explosive charge, usually in the form of a sheet of explosives, is cut to fit the side opposite the grooves, in substantially the same shape as the grooves, without extending beyond the periphery of the flexible material. An initiating means is connected to the explosive charge so that upon initiation, the grooves focus the explosive charge so that a plurality of petals cantilevered are formed in the target material, substantially between the ends of the grooves, to define a fragment-free opening in the target material.

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

A62C013/62

US Classification:

239309, 239329, 239331, 239504, 239518, 239548, 239589, 239289, 169 46, 169 12, 169 72, 169 84

Abstract:

The present invention comprises an extension tube that attaches to the bore end of a water jet producing device that is used to render safe improvised explosive devices by disrupting the firing train of said devices. The present invention comprises an extension tube having a sudden enlargement of cross section, that may be formed by adjusting the dimensions of the interior diameter of the extension tube, at the point of attachment, and a series of apertures in the attachment tube. The extension tube provides a more uniform jet of water with more focused energy by containing the jet until breech pressures are vented. Better control of the water jet will be maintained during firing operations. Further, more energy may be put into the water jet to accomplish specific tasks.

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

F42B001/00

US Classification:

102309, 102306, 102476

Abstract:

The invention comprises a device that uses a flexible material, preferably in a mostly square shape. An explosive charge, usually in the form of a sheet of explosives, is cut to fit on the top side of the flexible material. A cutting plate, having orthogonal grooves on the top, is placed under the flexible material. An initiating means is connected to the explosive charge so that upon initiation, the grooves focus the explosive charge so that the cutting plate forms a plurality of petals that press into a soft metal container to create a fragment-free opening in the soft metal target material.

International Classification:

G08B 13/00

US Classification:

340541, 340506, 340508, 307116

Abstract:

The present invention comprises a simplified control/hook-up circuit for intrusion detection devices that reduces the overall number of wires and attendant connections necessary between the control panel box and the terminals of the detector. This simplified design operates as efficiently as present intrusion device designs, while decreasing device hook-up time for field technicians and providing less opportunity for user error.
