20100230104 | METHOD FOR COMPLETING A BOREHOLE - The invention relates to a method for completing a borehole ( | 09-16-2010 |
20120198988 | PERFORATING GUN HAVING SELF-CLOSING PENETRATION HOLES - A perforating gun having an outer gun barrel, inside of which an inner barrel is coaxially arranged, carrying perforators that can be ignited by means of a detonating cord leading through the gun barrel and, after ignition, pierce the gun barrel in order to form penetration holes, wherein means are provided for automatically closing the penetration holes after the blast, said means being a swellable medium. In order to ensure that the swellable medium requires little space in the perforating gun and can be easily integrated into the perforating gun, the swellable medium is disposed in a laminary manner inside the perforating gun. | 08-09-2012 |
20140008247 | PACKING FOR HOLLOW CHARGES - The invention relates to a packing having a top side, a base side and face sides for hollow charges for use in blasting applications in boreholes. In order that fragments are retained in the packing in the event of an unintentional ignition of the hollow charges, the packing withstands the pressure which is generated and permits a dissipation of pressure, it is proposed according to the invention that a) the hollow charges are embedded in a solid material which captures the fragments generated during a detonation of the hollow charges, b) the solid material has pressure relief openings through which the pressure wave of the gas volume generated during a detonation of the hollow charges can escape, c) the solid material is covered with shock-absorbing material on the top side and on the base side of the packing, d) the hollow charges are packed in pairs such that there are always two hollow charges situated opposite the openings, e) the axes of symmetry of the hollow charges are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the top side and base side, and f) the solid material is inserted with the hollow charges and the shock-absorbing material into a cage, preferably a bar-grate-type cage. | 01-09-2014 |

The one or more sensed objects on the GUI system may be displayed. The weapon system may be targeted upon the one or more sensed objects in response to a user selected weapon system input. | 11-26-2009 |
20090292467 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR RANGING BASED ON PIXEL SHIFT AND VELOCITY INPUT - A system, method and computer program product provides for determining a location of an external object sensed by a mobile object on a display of the mobile object. The method may include determining a first position of the external object on the display, the first position being sensed by the mobile object at a first position of the mobile object. It may also include determining a second position of the external object on the display, the second position being sensed by the mobile object at a second position of the mobile object. Next, the method may include determining the location of the external object based upon said determining of the first position and said determining of the second position. The first position of the external object and the second position of the external object may be respectively sensed by a sensor system of the mobile object, where the display comprises a graphical user interface (GUI). Any portion of the external object may be mapped to one or more pixels, with each pixel providing a unique location. | 11-26-2009 |
