Filed:

Jul 16, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/895473

Inventors:

Michael K. Oetjen - Alexandria VA, US
Robert V. Krueger - King George VA, US
Raymond D. Cooper - Bowling Green VA, US

International Classification:

F41A 17/00

US Classification:

89 11, 89 9, 89 2712, 42 101, 42 105, 42 6901, 340584

Abstract:

Determining cook-off time for a weapon is disclosed. A method determines a first barrel temperature next to a first energetic, such as a propellant charge, of ammunition within a gun barrel, and determines a second barrel temperature next to a second energetic, such as an explosive charge, of the ammunition. If the ammunition did not properly fire, the method determines a first cook-off time of the first energetic based on the first temperature next to the first energetic and the first energetic's type, and a second cook-off time of the second energetic based on the second temperature next to the second energetic and the second energetic's type. The first and second times may be determined by using one or more finite-difference heat transfer models. If either or both of the first and second times are less than a threshold, a warning-related action is performed to users of the weapon.

Filed:

Feb 23, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/605978

Inventors:

William C. Isley - Bowie MD
Denise M. Cammarata - Owings Mills MD
Raymond R. Cooper - Baltimore MD
Jeffrey D. York - Arnold MD
Perry E. King - Eldersburg MD

International Classification:

H04B 138

US Classification:

375219

Abstract:

A mobile terminal for satellite communication of voice data, facsimile and computer information, which consists of an RF transceiver section, and a processor board. The processor board has two digital signal processors and a multi-task control processor for controlling the operation of the two signal processors. Net radio service is implemented in the mobile terminal and includes a priority 1 mode wherein a channel search is performed on a net radio channel database for an available channel if any problem is initially encountered in obtaining control of a specific communication channel such as a channel currently in use or a channel designated for use as a default channel.
