  • Patent number: 9188613
    Abstract: An electronic circuit is arranged in an external programming device and is used for contactless programming of a circuit to be programmed. The electronic circuit has a series resonant circuit that includes a transmitter coil and a capacitor. The transmitter coil of the series resonant circuit is used for inductive coupling to a receiver coil in the circuit to be programmed. For the purpose of evaluating the impedance that actually exists in the circuit to be programmed, there is provided a device for determining the value of the impedance from a phase difference between the control voltage of the series resonant circuit and the capacitor voltage of the series resonant circuit.

  • Patent number: 6865989
    Abstract: A device provides for time-controlled self-destruction of a projectile by a batteryless, electronic self-destruct device. Several capacitors charged by a piezo element or a surge generator during firing are used in the flight phase for operational purposes. At least two of the capacitors are connected to the input of a comparator, so that the influence of a constantly modifiable operational voltage and the influence of a discharge of modifiable voltage levels by the piezo element or surge generator does not affect the time function.

  • Patent number: 6675715
    Abstract: A device supplies electric energy for projectile detonators without a battery or additional energy generation during flight of the projectile. For operating the projectile detonator in the flight phase, a supply capacitor charged during an inductive programming phase is disposed. The capacitor has a very low leakage current in order to bridge a time in the range of minutes between the programming and the start of the flight phase without significant energy loss. The charging of the supply capacitor takes place through halfwaves, of a programming AC voltage not utilized in the programming and not under load.

  • Patent number: 6598533
    Abstract: The invention aims to increase the overflight safety of a projectile, comprising a time-fuse which has an acceleration-activated battery. To this end, the safety device actuates a switch, whose position is interrogated during the flight phase and the fuse function is deactivated, if the switch is not in the correct position.
