Abstract:
Methods for making a pressed monolithic gas generant for an inflatable restraint device (for example, an airbag system for a vehicle) are provided. The methods include admixing a gas generant material with a ballistic performance modifier to form a mixture. The mixture is granulated. Then, a pressed monolithic gas generant grain is formed by applying pressure to the granulated mixture, where the grain has an actual density of at least about 95% of the maximum theoretical density. The pressure may be applied in a controlled manner to both side of the gas generant material in a die cavity, and removing formed grain from die cavity while maintaining some pressure to both sides of the grain, thereby further improving various pyrotechnic properties. The methods of the disclosure provide pyrotechnic compositions that are economical to manufacture, have improved burn rate, combustion profile, effluent quality, strength, durability, and integrity of the grain, while having a consistent shape between different production lots.

WATCH: Mantis Shrimp's Incredible Eyesight Yields Clues For Detecting Cancer
This ability to detect and visually capitalize on polarized light "is very common in animals," says Thomas Cronin, a research biologist and professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. "In fact, we're among the few that don't use polarized light very much, if at all."

Campus graduate student, father uncover possible secret of octopus vision
ther experts in the field, however, have expressed skepticism on whether the research can indeed prove that cephalopods have color vision. According to Thomas Cronin, a biology professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, other animals use chromatic aberration to judge distance and not color.

Iconic presidential debate moments reveal candidates in words, actions
"He was a good debater, he'd been effective against Ross Perot and Jack Kemp," said Thomas Cronin, political science professor at Colorado College. "But against Bush, he came across as more wooden, less likable and sighing when Bush would give an answer, that seemed to be unbecoming. The little th
"Let's say the stock market goes up another 500 or 600 points, and unemployment goes down below 8 percent by Election Day. That could allow for a big Obama surge," said Thomas Cronin, a presidential historian at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colo.
