Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor including an acetylinic alcohol is disclosed which is used in connection with a chlorine dioxide process for controlling biomass and cleaning water injection wells and oil producing wells by injecting the chlorine dioxide oxidant into the pumped water injection stream.

Abstract: A non-reduction agent for dielectric ceramics is composed of a(MnO+RO) and (1-a) (BO.sub.3/2 +SiO.sub.2), or of b(LiO.sub.1/2 +RO) and (1-b) (BO.sub.3/2 +SiO.sub.2). Here, R is at least one kind selected from among Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba. In these compositions, a is within a range of 0.01.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.0.90 (Mol ratio), and b is within a range of 0.01.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.80 (Mol ratio). These non-reduction agents for dielectric ceramics are added to dielectric ceramic materials containing lead oxide, for example, and used as materials for capacitors. These dielectric ceramics become hard to be reduced even when fired in reducing atmospheres.

Abstract: A cylindrical die body has an axial bore in which there is an annular tapered shoulder. A cylindrical collet is adapted to fit coaxially in the bore of the cylindrical body. The collet has an axial bore extending over the majority of its length for accommodating the body of an ammunition case and has a smaller coaxial bore through which a bullet installed in the mouth of the case can extend. The fingers of the collet terminate in finger tips which surrounds the small bore. The mouth of the case which holds the bullet extends into the space between the collet finger tips such that when the collet is pressed into the cylindrical die body, tapered surfaces exterior of the collet run ionto the tapered shoulder in the die body to generate a wedging action which forces the tips of the collet fingers in a radial direction into the mouth end of the cartridge case to thereby crimp the mouth end of the case to the bullet.

Abstract: A cartridge 1 for expelling fluids under pressure has a drive body 5 as a cartridge case base 4, which is a hollow cylinder and has a rear opening toward the fluid chamber 2. The front end face of the drive body 5 has a spherical constricted area 10 with cylindrical projection, which receives a closing member 6 in a force-locking manner.

Abstract: An agent for impregnating solid wood by the pressure process, based on a water-dilutable formulation of a copper salt, excess alkanolamine and, if required, a salt with a fungicidal anion, has a pH of not less than 8 in the concentration usually employed and corresponding to about 1-5% by weight of non-aqueous components in the aqueous solution.

Abstract: A sealed neutron tube is set forth which contains a low-pressure gaseous deuterium-tritium mixture wherefrom an ion source forms an ionized gas which is guided by a magnetic electron confinement field produced by magnets (8), which source emits the ion beams (3) which traversed an extraction-acceleration electrode (2) and which are projected onto a target (4) so as to produce therein a fusion reaction which causes an emission of electrons. In accordance with the invention, the ion source is of a multi-cell type formed by n Penning-type cells comprising a multi-hole anode (6) which is arranged inside the cathode cavity (7) in order to increase the ion current. The shape and/or the dimensions and/or the position of the multi-hole anode are adapted to the topology of the magnetic field.

Abstract: A projectile propellant device is adapted to supply a compressed gas from a compressed gas container for providing the propulsion force for a projectile or for providing the operating force for a gas powered device. The propellant device includes a gas container containing a volume of gas at sufficient pressure for applying a desired force upon release, and a compressed gas releasing structure for producing a release opening in the compressed gas container in response to the detonation of a pyrotechnic material. The release opening releases the compressed gas for applying the desired force, such as a propulsion force to propel a projectile. The gas releasing structure preferably includes a pyrotechnic charge device and a puncturing device both mounted within a suitable device housing along with the gas container.

A tracking turret comprises an angular velocity reduction device with an elliptical wave generator, an externally-toothed flexible ring and an internally-toothed rigid ring, and a rotating joint used for the transmission of electrical signals. The invention can be applied chiefly to the making of close-range anti-aircraft defense turrets.

Abstract: The invention is a gun mount exerciser to force a cannon through its recoil otion which otherwise occurs only when the cannon is fired. The exerciser includes a frame that rests on the outer casing that is fixed around the cannon. The frame is translated on a stationary member by actuation of a fluidically operated cylinder mounted to the stationary member. The frame is fixed to the outer casing of the gun so that translation of the frame effects translation of the outer casing and the cannon itself.

Abstract: When cartridges are delivered from a stationary cartridge magazine to an elevatable firing weapon, it is customary to use a deflection or guidance unit, by which the cartridges can be reliably delivered to the elevatable firing weapon in every position of the latter. The cartridges are delivered to the elevatable firing weapon in a telescopic guide or infeed channel. With large elevation of the elevatable firing weapon, this telescopic guide channel is substantially contracted. On the other hand, this telescopic guide channel is substantially extended when the elevation of the elevatable firing weapon is relatively small. In the telescopic guide channel there is provided a bucket chain for conveying cartridges. The individual buckets of this bucket chain are interconnected by knee joints, so that the bucket chain can likewise be extended and contracted. One end of the telescopic guide channel is mounted at the stationary cartridge magazine and the other end is mounted at the elevatable firing weapon.
