Abstract: The present invention relates to a blast-resistant container, and particularly to such a container configured to receive an explosive, an explosive-suspect item or a thereto related article for preventing or minimizing damage in the event an explosion occurs. Advantages with the invention includes for example an improved safety situation surrounding the process of handling potentially explosive devices, as the blast-resistant container may be made readily available for use in any situation where potentially dangerous objects may be presented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a loading arrangement for a destruction system configured for destruction of ammunition, small arms and thereto related material, and provides the advantage of improved safety surrounding loading of munitions into a chamber of the destruction system. The loading arrangement comprises a transportation duct at an inclined angle. A cradle configured to receive the munitions is pivotably attached to the transportation duct and can be pivoted upwards into the transportation duct through a cradle opening. A closure plate mechanically linked to the cradle and adapted to close the cradle opening is automatically moved as the cradle pivots upwards so as to open the cradle opening. The transportation duct can be releasably connected to an input duct of the chamber of the destruction system.

Abstract: A system for thermal destruction of munitions has a rotatable kiln with a duct opening. A gate pivotally connected to the duct is arranged to open and close the duct. A loading tray is pivotally connected to the duct such that with the kiln in a first position with the gate open, the loading tray may be pivoted to load the kiln. After a thermal destruction process, rotation of the kiln to a second position facilitates emptying of the kiln via the duct.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile destruction system, for example provided for allowing thermal destruction of ammunition, small arms and thereto related material. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for controlling such a destruction system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for characterizing a blood vessel represented by vascular image data, wherein said vascular image data comprises a plurality of voxels each having an image intensity, said method comprising the steps of identifying a set of voxels representing a boundary of the blood vessel; determining a gradient vector of the image intensity for each voxel in said set of voxels representing the boundary of the blood vessel; selecting, from said set of voxels representing the boundary of the blood vessel, a subset of voxels such that all voxels have a common intersection point for their respective gradient vector extensions; and determining a vector product based on said gradient vectors for said subset of voxels, wherein the common intersection point indicates a center of said blood vessel and said vector product indicates a direction in which said blood vessel extends.
