20090143467 | ANTICANCER AGENTS BASED ON REGULATION OF PROTEIN PRENYLATION - Oncoproteins such as Ras and RhoB are known to induce cell division in an unrestrained manner when such proteins are localized at the inner surface of a cancer cell membrane. The localization is effected by the prenylation reaction, whereby a hydrophobic group (e.g. a farnesyl group) is attached to the protein in the presence of an enzyme (e.g. farnesyl protein transferase). Deactivation of the prenylation enzyme through covalent modification can therefore ultimately result in the mitigation and/or cessation of cancer cell growth. Various prenylation inhibitors having the necessary structural groups to bond covalently, or essentially irreversibly, to the prenylation enzyme include carbonyl or thiocarbonyl compounds (or masked versions of these compounds) and alpha oxo-epoxides bonded to a hydrophobic, substrate-mimicking group. The carbonyl or thiocarbonyl compounds also contain a nucleofugal atom or group to enhance the tendency to form covalent bonds. | 06-04-2009 |

20110079162 | WARHEAD BOOSTER EXPLOSIVE LENS - A cost-effective solution is proposed to improve explosive transfer between booster and warhead that is compatible with the existing base of general purpose warheads and flexible to work with new warhead configurations. A booster lens is placed in the fuze well that concentrates the pressure wave to penetrate the fuze well with a peak pressure that exceeds the detonation threshold and detonate the warhead explosive. The booster lens can be configured to control the direction of the concentrated lobe to penetrate the fuze well where the barriers are low. | 04-07-2011 |
20110094405 | WARHEAD BOOSTER EXPLOSIVE LENS - A cost-effective solution is proposed to improve explosive transfer between booster and warhead that is compatible with the existing base of general purpose warheads and flexible to work with new warhead configurations.

The booster lens can be configured to control the direction of the concentrated lobe to penetrate the fuze well where the barriers are low. | 04-28-2011 |
20110094408 | FORWARD FIRING FRAGMENTATION WARHEAD - A forward firing fragmentation warhead is constructed with casing materials that are pulverized upon detonation of the explosive. As a result, the lethality radius of the pulverized case fragments is no greater than that of the gas blast, thus reducing potential collateral damage. Warhead lethality may be improved by forming the fragmentation layer and explosive with dome-shapes that approximately match the shape of the advancing pressure wave. This increases fragment velocity and improves the uniformity of the fragment distribution over the forward-firing pattern. A variable-thickness pattern shaper may be placed between the fragmentation layer and explosive to provide additional shaping of the forward-firing pattern. Warhead weight and cost can be reduced by eliminating explosive at the aft end of the warhead that does not contribute to the total energy imparted to the fragments. More specifically, the aft section of the explosive and explosive containment structure may be tapered to approximately match the expansion of the pressure wave from the single-point aft detonation. | 04-28-2011 |
20110146523 | HIGH-LETHALITY LOW COLLATERAL DAMAGE FRAGMENTATION WARHEAD - The present invention provides a high-lethality low collateral damage fragmentation warhead. The case is formed of a material that is pulverized upon detonation of the explosive. As a result, the lethality radius of the pulverized case fragments is no greater than that of the gas blast, thus reducing potential collateral damage. Warhead lethality is improved by placing a pattern shaper between the fragment assembly and the explosive. The explosive and pattern shaper have a conformal non-planar interface that shapes the pressure wavefront as it propagates there through to expel metal fragments from the fragmentation assembly with a desired pattern density over a prescribed solid angle. | 06-23-2011 |
20110179966 | DUAL-MASS FORWARD AND SIDE FIRING FRAGMENTATION WARHEAD - A high-lethality fragmentation warhead with reduced risk of collateral damage to the warhead launch platform. High lethality is achieved with a forward-firing fragmentation assembly placed in front of the explosive and a side-firing fragmentation assembly placed in a void space in the aft section of the explosive. The risk of collateral damage to the launch platform is reduced by forming the case and explosive containment structures of materials that are pulverized upon detonation of the explosive. This substantially eliminates radial fragments and in particular fragments thrown back towards the platform. Performance may be enhanced by tapering the aft section of the containment structure and explosive to eliminate explosive that does not contribute to the total energy imparted to the forward-firing fragmentation assembly by the pressure wave to create the void space for the side-firing fragmentation assembly. Performance may be further enhanced by forming the end of the explosive and forward-firing fragmentation assembly with largely conformal dome shapes that approximately match the shape of the front of the pressure wave. This both increases the amount of explosive energy delivered to those fragments and serves to expel them in a desirable pattern. | 07-28-2011 |
20120091253 | METHOD OF INTERCEPTING INCOMING PROJECTILE - A method of defeating an incoming missile, such as a rocket propelled grenade, includes soft launching an interceptor missile, and then using pitch over motors of the interceptor missile to alter course of the missile to a desired interception direction. By launching at a relatively slow speed, such as a speed less than or equal to 40 m/sec (130 ft/sec), the interceptor missile may reach the desired interception direction within 250 milliseconds of launch. The interceptor missile may be able to cover substantially all interception directions over a hemisphere or greater extent around a launch location. For example, the interceptor missile may be launched vertically from a ground vehicle, and be capable of altering course to any above-ground trajectory within 250 milliseconds. | 04-19-2012 |
20140137539 | THRUST-PRODUCING DEVICE WITH DETONATION MOTOR - A detonation thrust-producing device includes an explosive located in a recess in an external surface of a body. Detonation of the explosive expels material out of the recess, providing thrust to the body in an opposite direction. A mass, such as a metal disk, may be placed blocking or covering the external opening. The body may be a part of a vehicle, such as an airborne projectile. The thrust-producing device may include multiple detonation motors arrayed around the body, capable of being individually or multiply detonated. Such thrust-producing devices may be used for attitude adjustment, steering, or other control of the flight of the projectile or other air vehicle. The detonation thrust-producing devices have the advantage of a faster-response time than propellant-based devices, and do not need the nozzles that are used with many propellant-based devices. | 05-22-2014 |
20160025467 | LOW-COLLATERAL DAMAGE DIRECTED FRAGMENTATION MUNITION - A directed munition has a non-fragmentation casing, and an explosive within the casing that is configured to propel fragments out an opening of the casing when the explosive is detonated. The casing may be made of a material that does not produce lethal or injurious fragments when the explosive is detonated.

There may be more of the insensitive explosive than the relatively energetic explosive. The munition may have a ring that is operatively coupled to the fragments, to aid in directing the fragments out of the casing opening in a desired direction. The ring may be made of a material that does not produce injurious fragments when the explosive is detonated. | 01-28-2016 |

20090060183 | PRIVATE LOCK INFRASTRUCTURE - A method and system for securely transmitting data from a sender to a receiver wherein a private lock is created by a receiver. The private lock is freely distributable while the key remains with the receiver. To receive encrypted data, the lock is sent to the sender who uses the lock to encrypt data. The sender sends the encrypted data to the receiver. When the receiver receives the encrypted data, he can decipher the message using his own key. In cases where there are multiple intended recipients, each recipient sends their lock to the sender and the sender encrypts the same data with each of the locks. The sender then sends the encrypted data to each of the recipients. Each recipient uses their own key to access the data. In some instances, the locks will be recognizable and each receiver will be able to identify his own lock while in other instances the locks will not be recognizable and the user will not know how many locks are on the data or the types of locks that are being used. In those cases, the receiver can still apply his own key to all locks to see if any of the locks open. By using the method and system of the present invention, the transmissions of data is more secure because of the reduced risk of keys being shared, lost or stolen, the role of certificate authority is eliminated, and the role of registration authority becomes optional. | 03-05-2009 |

20150076346 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR MEASURING STRAIN IN MATERIALS AT HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION - A process for measuring strain is provided that includes placing a sample of a material into a TEM as a sample. The TEM is energized to create a small electron beam with an incident angle to the sample. Electrical signals are generated that control multiple beam deflection coils and image deflection coils of the TEM. The beam deflection control signals cause the angle of the incident beam to change in a cyclic time-dependent manner. A first diffraction pattern from the sample material that shows dynamical diffraction effects is observed and then one or more of the beam deflection coil control signals are adjusted to reduce the dynamical diffraction effects. One or more of the image deflection coil control signals are then adjusted to remove any motion of the diffraction pattern. A diffraction pattern is then collected from a strained area of the material after the adjusting step, and the strain is then determined from a numerical analysis of the strained diffraction pattern compared to a reference diffraction pattern from an unstained area of the material. | 03-19-2015 |
