  • Timing mechanism for controlling the charging of a battery in an electronic artillery fuse
    Patent number: 6673486
    Abstract: As activatable battery for an electronic artillery fuse includes an ampoule filled with an electrolyte, and an activation device for rupturing the ampoule in response to the application of an impulse of predetermined minimum magnitude. The activation device includes a timing mechanism for increasing the duration for which the impulse must be applied in order to enable the rupturing to occur, thereby increasing the safety of the fuse.
    Type: Grant
