  • Publication number: 20210070409
    Abstract: A maritime floatation device for using remote firing devices above and below the water line by way of non-electric or electric initiation, the maritime floatation device includes: a) a receiver housing having a combination of at least two receivers connectable via shock tube to respective explosive means, one receiver is adapted for timed initiation for separation and the second receiver adapted for remote initiation or timed initiation in order to meet the desired required operational capabilities of the maritime floatation device; b) a releasable basket housing connected to receiver housing; c) retention means for retaining two housings together; d) separation means for deactivating the retention means so as to allow for separation the receiver housing from the basket housing upon the activation of the separation means by the explosive means initiated from a timed initiated receiver; e) a shock tube spool position able within the basket housing wherein the spool accommodates and includes a length of shoc

  • Patent number: 10066920
    Abstract: An expendable remote initiator receiver for initiating at least one shock tube connectable to an explosive charge. The receiver includes a shock tube interface that directly interfaces with a shock tube connected to an explosive charge, a spark initiator that initiates a spark at the shock tube interface to initiate the shock tube, a multifunctional shock tube interface adaptor mounted and connected to the shock tube interface, wherein the multifunctional shock tube interface connects the ground of a printed circuit assembly (PCA) to the shock tube needle to allow a spark to occur upon initiation by the spark initiator and also holds the PCA securely.

  • Patent number: 8621998
    Abstract: A remote initiator breaching system for initiating breaching charges over a short range requiring no physical link between the breacher and the demolition charge. The remote initiator breaching system has at least one transmitter, at least one receiver, at least one shock tube connectable to a breaching charge and a power source for each of the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is able to generate and transmit a coded signal. The transmitter has an input for inputting operational commands into the transmitter for generating the coded signal, The transmitter has a plurality of channels representing different frequency bands, and multiple addresses for each channel such that transmission of the coded signal from the transmitter to the receiver is possible per individual addresses or all addresses simultaneously.
