Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120037028STATIONARY SELF-DESTRUCT FUZE MECHANISM - A fuze mechanism for a submuntion includes an activation mechanism having a container filled with an activation fluid and an ampoule breaker to break the container upon deployment of the munition, a delay mechanism including a spring-loaded self-destruct firing pin to initiate a secondary detonator in close proximity to a primary detonator, and an interlock unit supported by the ampoule breaker that locks the self-destruct firing pin away from the secondary detonator. The ampoule breaker includes a piston and a timing ball, which accesses the activation liquid. The action of the activation liquid on the timing ball over time causes the timing ball to erode until it is forced into the container by the spring-loaded piston. The movement of the piston frees the interlock unit, allowing the spring-loaded self-destruct firing pin to move under force and impact or initiate the secondary detonator. Initiation of the secondary detonator destroys the primary detonator and, depending upon slide location, either sterilizes or destroys the submunition. The activation mechanism, delay mechanism and interlock unit are housed in a stationary self destruct slide housing for safe and reliable use of the fuze mechanism.02-16-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090038999SYSTEM FOR TREATING WASTEWATER AND A CONTROLLED REACTION-VOLUME MODULE USABLE THEREIN - A wastewater treatment system including a biological reactor is disclosed. At least one controlled-reaction-volume module is provided to the biological reactor. The at least one controlled-reaction-volume module includes a fixed-film media for supporting a biological growth. At least one mixer, such as, for example, a high momentum mixer, for communicate a fluid to the at least one controlled-reaction-volume module so that wastewater and the biological growth communicate to thereby treat the wastewater.02-12-2009
20110240535SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING FLUID LEVELS IN A WASTEWATER TREATMENT BIOLOGICAL REACTOR - A system for controlling at least one prescribed fluid level in a biological reactor for treating wastewater or portion thereof, the system comprising at least one effluent assembly having an effluent screen; at least one sensor configured for monitoring a fluid level; at least one sparge apparatus configured for providing matter in a prescribed manner to the at least one effluent assembly; at least one matter source configured for providing matter; at least one control point configured for regulating said matter movement; and at least one controller. A kit comprising at least a controller and a sensor. A regulatory system configured for regulating the system.10-06-2011
