Abstract: A process of using a two-phase gas or liquid filter and thin layer chromaraphy member having a filter portion and a chromatography portion. The sample is collected and analyzed on the same member. A developing solvent of substantially acrylonitrile-benzene-petroleum ether is used to allow the sample to chromatograph on the chromatography portion of the member.

Abstract: Process and device for detecting impurities in the atmosphere by an inteny-time rate technique whereby chemiluminescent reaction curves are developed and found to be representative of specific materials. Hence, by comparing known intensity-time rate curves with curves had by actual measurings, the invention enables the user to discern many more materials never before detected.

Abstract: A method comprising an unknown solution adding an organophosphorus thio a salt solution for sufficient time to form compounds having anticholinesterase activity in the reaction solution, contacting the reaction solution with a cholinesterase supported on a suitable substrate, adding indoxyl acetate and observing a non-color or blue color change in the substrate; the absence of color indicates the formation of compounds with anticholinesterase activity and the blue color of the substrate indicating that there was no formation of compounds with anticholinesterase activity.

Abstract: A technique for the spheroidization of angular RDX crystals. The technique onsists of agitating such angular RDX crystals in a cyclohexanone medium saturated with RDX, during which time the temperature is raised to and then maintained at a predetermined level. When the desired degree of spheroidization obtained by partial dissolution and erosion is reached, the suspension is discharged to the centrifuge and washed. The process is carried out entirely in liquid media, which minimizes explosion hazards. It gives a high degree of spheroidization when crystals larger than about 70 microns are used. The use of such spheroidized RDX crystals increases the mix fluidity of composite explosives, thereby permitting the production of explosives having very high solid loadings in liquid binder or molten form.

Abstract: An airborne launcher and method of delivering a munition system comprising n combination (a) means to rotate the autorotor to a predetermined angular velocity prior to release from the launcher (b) means which direct the rotation of the autorotor in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction resulting in the desired angle of glide of the munition to a preselected area without the aid of the forward speed of the airborne vehicle.

Abstract: A rotatable airfoil non-lethal sting projectile comprising a hollow closed circular ring wing surrounding a central open area. The projectile consists of an aerodynamic lifting body of a thick ring wing geometry which uses spin imparted to it from a launching means for its gyroscopic stability. The combination of aerodynamic stability characteristics and high spin rate (i.e. above 2,000 rpm) results in a flat trajectory and extended range capability.The projectile is intended as a riot control weapon. Impact is non-lethal, but may be painful. The subsonic launch velocity, the non-metallic light weight structure, the soft resilience, and relatively large size of the projectile avoids serious bodily harm due to impact with a person even at point-blank range.

Abstract: A projectile for use in a multishot portable weapon system containing a voelastic solution of high molecular weight polyisobutylene in triethylaluminum to be delivered to a target site to inflict casualties and/or produce a conflagration.

Abstract: The invention is a composition of matter comprising acrylonitrile, an acrc polymer containing a nitrile group and isopropyl dicyanamide or 1,1-dimethyl-2,2-dicyanohydrazine gelling agent, useful as fuel gels.

Abstract: A self-contained sampler for use in the detection of low concentrations of ewisite; i.e., chlorovinyldichlorarsine in air through use of a sensitive colorimetric method.

The glycolate agents have the generic formula ##EQU1## wherein R, R.sup.1, and R.sup.11 are each any aromatic group, any aliphatic group, any substituted aromatic group, any substituted aliphatic group, any cyclo aliphatic group, any cyclo aliphatic group having nitrogen in the cyclic structure, and any combinations thereof.

Abstract: A rotatable airfoil projectile comprising a hollow closed circular ring wing surrounding a central open area with a non-lethal riot control agent positioned within the hollow ring. The projectile consists of an aerodynamic lifting body of a thick ring wing geometry which uses spin imparted to it from a launching means for its gyroscopic stability. The combination of aerodynamic stability characteristics and high spin rate (i.e. above 2,000 rmp) results in a flat trajectory and extended range capability.The projectile ruptures on impact due to centrifugal and impact forces to distribute the non-lethal riot control payload about the target area. The sub-sonic launch velocity avoids bodily harm due to impact with a person even at point-blank range.
