  • Multi-ignition controllable solid-propellant gas generator
    Publication number: 20010045248
    Abstract: Batch-mode and continuous-mode decomposition of nitrous oxide is used to provide multiple ignitions of a solid-propellant gas generator and subsequently control its output gas temperature and flow rate, respectively. To reignite the solid-propellant gas generator, a controlled mass of a reactive oxidizer, such as hot nitrous oxide decomposition products, is injected into the gas generator chamber.

  • Fire starting flare
    Patent number: 6128845
    Abstract: A fire starting flare suitable for hand-held launchers has a fuse and ignitor assembly within a flare core material such that as the flare is launched the fire ignites and as the flare lands the fuse reaches the ignitor assembly to set off the flare.

  • Launcher
    Patent number: 5739461
    Abstract: A pistol style flare launcher device suitable for multiple launches of flares uses an orifice in a gas duct to control the burn rate of blank cartridges by predictable high back pressure and a deflector pin in the launcher barrel to block gas from said orifice from striking the flare and deflect the gas into a plenum which allows gas to expand to a lower pressure still suitable to launch the flare.
