  • Hermatically-sealed electrically-absorptive low-pass radio frequency filters and electro-magnetically lossy ceramic materials for said filters
    Patent number: 6553910
    Abstract: An electromagnetically lossy liquid- or gas-tight fusion seal for use as a low pass radio frequency signal filter constructed as a matrix of glass binder and ferrimagnetic and/or ferroelectric filler. Metal cased electrical filters are made by reflowing the material to form fused glass-to-metal seals and incorporating electrical thru-conductors therein which may be formed as inductive windings.
    Type: Grant

  • Preparation of an igniter with an ultraviolet cured ignition droplet
    Patent number: 6305286
    Abstract: An electrically actuatable igniter (24) includes a header (50), a pair of electrodes (40) and (42) in the header (50), a heating element (44) electrically connected between the electrodes (40) and (42), and a dome shaped ignition droplet (46) covering and adhering to the heating element (44). The ignition droplet (46) comprises an intimate mixture of a cured free-radical resin binder, which is at least a substantially cured in situ by ultraviolet radiation, and an ultraviolet radiation absorbing particulate pyrotechnic material in a substantial proportion effective for sustained combustion in the mixture. The resin binder prior to curing is a liquid and has a surface tension, viscosity, and wetability with the heating element (44) to achieve the dome configuration.
