20100263566Reduced Collateral Damage Bomb (RCDB) Including Fuse System with Shaped Charges and a System and Method of Making Same - A reduced collateral damage bomb (RCDB) bomb casing is described and disclosed along with the system and method for making it. The RCDB bomb casing may be formed from conventional or penetrating warhead bomb casings. The RCDB bomb casing has a filler material/materials disposed on the interior walls that will assist in controlling the collateral damage caused by the finished bomb but not prevent the appropriate destructive power being delivered to a selected target. Further, the fusing system may include a shaped charge to control the ignition of the main explosive charge to control the amount of collateral damage when the bomb casing is filled with high explosives.10-21-2010
20110146521REDUCED COLLATERAL DAMAGE BOMB (RCDB) AND SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A reduced collateral damage bomb (RCDB) bomb casing is described and disclosed along with the system and method for making it. The RCDB bomb casing may be formed from conventional or penetrating warhead bomb casings. The RCDB bomb casing has a filler material/materials disposed on the interior walls that will assist in controlling the collateral damage caused by the finished bomb but not prevent the appropriate destructive power being delivered to a selected target.06-23-2011
20110168048Multi-Faceted Structure for Bombs and Warheads Including Penetrating Warheads - A bomb and penetrating warhead (“PW”) casings is disclosed that has three or more exterior facets. The facets may be straight or spiraling. The resulting bomb or PW casing that results is a stronger, tougher structure that will increase the overall performance of the bomb or PW casing in delivering the desired destructive power to a selected target. The bomb and PW casings also have the advantage of being lighter in weight than a conventional bomb structure but yet provide the desired destructive power to the selected target.07-14-2011
20120036985Reduced Collateral Damage Bomb (RCDB) and System and Method of Making Same - A reduced collateral damage bomb (RCDB) bomb casing is described and disclosed along with the system and method for making it. The RCDB bomb casing may be formed from conventional or penetrating warhead bomb casings. The RCDB bomb casing has a filler material/materials disposed on the interior walls that will assist in controlling the collateral damage caused by the finished bomb but not prevent the appropriate destructive power being delivered to a selected target.02-16-2012
20120227612Shaped Charge Fuse Booster System for Dial Lethality in Reduce Collateral Damage Bombs (RCDB) That Include Penetrating Warheads or Warheads with High Explosives that are Difficult to Ignite - A fuse booster system for a reduced collateral damage bomb or penetrating warhead is described and disclosed. The fuse booster system uses shaped charges that will ignite the main high explosive charge of the bomb or penetrating warhead, and also remove portions of the bomb or penetrating warhead to reduce the power of the bomb at the target in a measurable manner to control the lethality and collateral damage of the bomb or penetrating warhead.09-13-2012

20120229634METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE ACTIVITY OF A SUBJECT WITHIN SPATIAL TEMPORAL AND/OR BEHAVIORAL PARAMETERS - Methods and systems for monitoring a subject within a defined spatial environment in order to signal the activity status of subject within the environment to a remote user comprise providing a virtual representation and a virtual model of the subject and the environment respectively. The foregoing can be performed by a camera which is linked to a controller for translating the captured images into virtual versions. The activities of the subject are assigned activity statuses. Hence, assessing the activities of the virtual subject within the virtual environment and comparing this activity to previously assigned statuses provides for determining the activity status of the subject within the environment and communicating this information to a remote user via an interface linked to the controller.09-13-2012

20090087521PARTICULATE FILLED EDIBLE PRODUCT AND PROCESS FOR MAKING - The subject invention relates to a particulate filled edible product and a method of making the particulate filled edible product. The edible product comprises an edible shell of dough that defines an enclosed cavity having a cavity volume. At least one edible food particulate is disposed within the cavity. The food particulate has a particulate volume that is less than the cavity volume and the at least one food particulate moves freely in the cavity.04-02-2009
20090087527SHREDDED READY-TO-EAT CEREAL WITH OATS - A method of producing cooked cereal grains containing a high level of whole oats for a shredded ready-to-eat cereal. The method begins by disposing a whole grain oat into a mixer. The whole grain oat has an exposed first starch. Next, a second whole grain is disposed into the mixer. The second whole grain has an exposed second starch that is different from the first starch. A third starch is disposed into the mixer to act as a binder of the whole grain oat and second whole grain. Water is added to the mixer to form a mixture that is cooked to form cooked cereal grains containing high levels of whole oats. The cooked grains are shredded and layered to form a shredded wheat-like biscuit.04-02-2009

20090236424IMAGE SENSOR BASED OPTICAL READER - An optical reader can include an image sensor. In one embodiment an optical reader can be configured to have different operating modes, the different operating modes optimizing the reader for reading different indicia. In another embodiment an optical reader can comprise a multiple color emitting light source. In another embodiment an optical reader can be provided in a specialized form factor including an enlarged head portion and an elongated body portion extending from the head portion.09-24-2009
20110121076IMAGE SENSOR BASED OPTICAL READER - An apparatus for use in optical reading can comprise an image sensor and a circuit board, and can further comprise a support assembly. An apparatus for use in optical reading can also comprise a light source and imaging optics.05-26-2011
