Patent number: 7886649Abstract: A modular weapon system of a preloaded recoilless gun including a barrel provided with a shell, a propellant charge and a countermass. The weapon system is configured in two parts including a first part of the barrel and a second part of the barrel. The first part of the barrel includes the shell and the second part of the barrel includes the propellant charge and countermass. A releasable locking device interconnects the second part of the barrel with the first part of the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: SAAB ABInventors: Rolf Pettersson, Eje Lantz, Lars Ax, Kent Norgren

Publication number: 20100282054Abstract: An arrangement for a weapon including a countermass for reducing the pressure around the weapon. The countermass is enclosed in a container, which is mountable in the barrel of the weapon behind an ammunition part. The container is provided with an openable bottom with break indications. A guiding folding support, configured as an annular element, is arranged adjacent to the openable bottom on the outside of the bottom relative to the countermass container. The annular element is provided with a support member for each openable flap forming part of the bottom. Thereby, the opening area in the bottom of the counter mass container is defined by folding edges, formed in each base region of the flaps in the open state as in contact with its corresponding support member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2007Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: SAAB ABInventors: Lars Ax, Eje Lantz, Kent Norgren, Rolf Pettersson

Patent number: 7353739Abstract: An arrangement for a weapon including a countermass for reducing the pressure around the weapon. The countermass is enclosed in a countermass container that can be opened at both ends. The invention aims to bring about a symmetrical opening with favorable recoil in a better way than in previous constructions. This is achieved by the countermass including elements that can bind and retain the liquid symmetrically in a desired geometry over the cross section of the barrel and the cross section of any following expansion part.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: SAAB ABInventors: Lars Ax, Eje Lantz, Kent Norgren, Rolf Pettersson

Publication number: 20070097399Abstract: A print controller, methods, and software are disclosed. A print controller of the invention includes applications, a parameter manager, and a notification system. The applications register with parameter manager those parameters for which they want to be notified when a change occurs. As part of the registration, the applications designate a callback identifier (CID) for each of the parameters, where an individual CID may be associated with a single parameter or a plurality of related parameters. Responsive to receiving an indication of changes to one or more of the parameters, the notification system identifies the applications registered to be notified of changes to the parameters, and identifies the CIDs associated with the parameters that have changed. The notification system then transmits one or more notification messages, including the identified CIDs for the changed parameters, to each application that is registered.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Erin Boyd, Samuel Hopper, Kent Norgren, Stephen Price

Publication number: 20070076234Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program generating user defined marking settings to print marks to control post-processing devices. A user interface is generated to enable user input to define at least one marking setting comprising a name of the marking setting, a dimension of a marking, and a location of the marking on the print medium. Marking settings control a printer to output markings on a print medium. The outputted markings on the print medium control at least one post processor device to perform post processing operations on the print medium. User input is received from the user interface defining at least one marking setting. The user defined at least one marking setting is stored with an existing set of marking settings to control the printer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2005Publication date: April 5, 2007Inventors: Samuel Hopper, Ronald Parrish, David Ward, Kent Norgren, Ronald Van Buskirk, Kenneth Shouldice, Brian Pendleton

Publication number: 20070070374Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for printer controller, dynamic N-UP print job imaging. An enhanced printer includes features hereof to dynamically adjust parameters of a print job at any point in a print job. In one aspect hereof, the printer configures a print job for an initial set of printing parameters without host system intervention and may reconfigure those parameters during printing of the print job. In another aspect hereof, the adjustments may include adjusting the relative position of any of the N-UP images independent of any other of the N-UP images. Another aspect hereof provides that the formatting of the print job according to printing parameters by the printer occurs after rasterizing the print job into logical page images. Since the formatting is performed after rasterizing, the printing parameters may be changed at any time during printing of the print job.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2005Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: J. Boyes, Allan Hren, Elke Jones, Kent Norgren, Brian Pendleton, Kenneth Shouldice, Larry Teklits, Ronald Van Buskirk, Rose Visoski
