Abstract: The devices and methods described below provide for a plasticized, adhesive binary explosive mixture formed with nitromethane (NM) plasticized with nitrocellulose (NC) as an energetic component and a urethane resin mixed with any suitable mechanical sensitizer as the sensitizer component. The addition of the sensitizer component to the plasticized component of NM/NC causes the resulting gel mixture to become explosive while maintaining stability.

Abstract: A product unpacking system includes a work surface at a first height and a product unloading position at a second height. An adjustable cutter is positioned adjacent to the work surface and configured to cut a plurality of sides of each case. A case movement device, such as a robot or manual mover, is configured to retrieve a case from a group of cases and move the case to the cutter to cut a plurality of sides of the case. The case movement device may then move the cut case to an unload position over a product container to allow products within the case to drop into the product container. A system of conveyors may be used to convey empty product containers toward the work surface and to convey filled product containers away from the work surface. The system may be automated to receive recipe information for each case to be unloaded and modify parameters of the system based on the case.

Abstract: A stylus and a touch interactive device is provided. The stylus includes a pen holder, a cover plate, and a circuit control assembly. The pen holder includes a pen head, a pen wall, and an accommodating space. A groove is defined in the pen wall and communicates with the accommodating space. The pen head is arranged at one end of the pen holder. The cover plate is arranged corresponding to the groove and covers the groove. The circuit control assembly is received in the accommodating space. The circuit control assembly includes a mainboard and a touch sensing module connected to the mainboard. The touch sensing module is attached to the pen wall or a first inner wall of the cover plate to form a touch sensing area. The touch sensing module is used to receive and sense at least one touch command of fingers in the touch sensing area.

Abstract: A chemical/biological vehicle survivability barrier (CVSB) has an inflatable air beam shelter (IABS), also referred to as a tunnel-like enclosure, for inserting and coupling to the interior of a vehicle. The CVSB further has at least one air handling and power unit (AHPU) coupled to an exterior fitting of the IABS. The AHPU withdraws potentially contaminated air from inside the tunnel-like enclosure, filtrates the air by removing contaminants from the air withdrawn, and returns the filtrated air back into the tunnel-like enclosure.

Abstract: A system and method for unpacking a case are provided. The system may comprise a work surface that defines a cutting, extraction, and unloading position and a robot configured to move the cases between the respective positions. The robot may first engage and position the case in the cutting position, wherein a plurality of cutting arms cut a first pair of sides simultaneously near the case bottom. The robot rotates the case and the cutting arms cut another pair of sides simultaneously near the case bottom. The robot then moves the case from the cutting position to the extraction position, where the case bottom is retained and removed from the case. The robot then moves the bottomless case from the extraction position to the unloading position adjacent to the work surface, wherein the product inside the case is deposited into a receptacle through the open case bottom.

Abstract: The devices and methods described below provide for a forearm handguard for a rifle with multiple integrated power and communication channels that are accessible to any accessory through the different rail interface systems of the handguard. Any suitable rail interface systems may be used.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for operating a gliding parachute/kite. The gliding parachute/kite has a wing with a flexible material, and a set of suspension lines adapted for coupling a load to the wing, such that the coupling is configurable in any one of a plurality of possible states based on relative lengths of the suspension lines. In some implementations, the possible states include a first state enabling gliding in a first direction, and a second state enabling gliding in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. Reversing direction is possible with the first and second states. Additionally, or alternatively, the possible states include a spinning state enabling spinning of the gliding parachute/kite. Adjusting a rate of decent is possible with the spinning. Reversing direction and/or spinning operations can be used to improve control of trajectory.
