20150369573 | Detonation of Explosives - An explosives detonator system includes a detonator housing within which is provided a detonation circuit that includes a conductive pathway having a fuse head integrated therewith such that the conductive pathway passes along both electrodes and a resistive bridge of the fuse head. An uncharged chargeable voltage source is also integrated with the detonation circuit and is electrically sensitive to a charging property which is included in a charging signal. Exposure to the charging property charges the voltage source, thereby rendering it capable of generating a potential difference between the electrodes at least to equal the breakdown voltage of the resistive bridge. The charging property is any one or more of a charging light pulse, a charging temperature, a charging pressure and a charging radio frequency. | 12-24-2015 |
20140305327 | SIGNAL TUBE CONNECTOR - A signal tube connector which can be used with a number of signal tubes which includes a detonator receiving body and a retention member, wherein a signal tube locating space is formed between opposing surfaces of the body and the member and wherein the retention member is movable relative to the body and can be locked in place with a locking mechanism to retain signal tubes within the space. | 10-16-2014 |
20140090757 | EMULSION EXPLOSIVE SENSITISING - An emulsion explosive, formulated with a basic surfactant, which is sensitised by gassing with active sodium hypochlorite. | 04-03-2014 |
20130255520 | Detonation of Explosives - An explosives detonator system for detonating an explosive charge with which it is, in use, arranged in a detonating relationship is provided. On acceptance of a detonation initiating signal having a detonation initiating property, the system initiates and thus detonates the explosive charge. The system includes an initiating device which accepts the detonation initiating signal and initiates and thus detonates the explosive charge. The initiating device is initially in a non-detonation initiating condition, in which it is not capable of accepting the detonation initiating signal. The system also includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) based switching device that detects a switching property of a radio switching signal that is transmitted to the detonator system and switches the initiating device, on detection of the detonation initiating property, to a standby condition in which the initiating device is capable of operatively accepting the detonation initiating signal when it is transmitted thereto. | 10-03-2013 |
20130090497 | EPOXIDATION OF GLYCEROL AND DERIVATIVES THEREFROM - A method producing a surfactant from glycerol by converting glycerol, in a first step, to glycidol, polymerizing glycidol to an aliphatic alcohol and finally substituting a hydroxyl group with a substitute anion. | 04-11-2013 |
