Patent number: 11531084Abstract: A radar system is generated by a process including generating a first substrate layer adjacent to a ground plane of a patch antenna array in the radar system, etching an opening in the substrate layer, inserting a mechanically-locking foot of a threaded insert into the opening, adding a second substrate layer adjacent to the first substrate layer to embed the threaded insert, applying a thermal coupling between a heat sink layer and the second substrate layer of the radar system and screwing a screw through the heat sink layer and into the threaded insert to adhere the heat sink layer to the radar system. Such a radar system can enable the attachment of the heat sink layer to the radar system in a removable fashion such that the heat sink layer can be removed by removing the screw and repairs can be done without damaging respective layers.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Fortem Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Earl James, Jon Erik Knabenschuh, Matthew Robertson Morin, James David Mackie, Chester Parker Ferry, Brandon Robert Hicks, Kendall James Fowkes, James Harrison Hofer, Jr.

Patent number: 11001381Abstract: A projectile module is attached to a gun component which operates as a system to launch a projectile at a flying device. The gun component is configured to be removably and electro-mechanically attached to a flying vehicle. A cylindrical gas valve is part of the gun component and has a safety component configured on an exterior surface of the cylindrical gas valve to enable the gun component only to attach to the flying vehicle when the projectile module is locked into position. A splitter component configured on the gun component adjacent to the cylindrical gas valve and has an output opening for gas flow. The projectile module is removable and includes weights attached to a projectile, wherein the weights are positioned in channels on the projectile module. The projectile is fired when gas flow is initiated from a reservoir the cylindrical gas valve and splitter component to the channels containing the weights.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: FORTEM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Devin Donald Lebaron, David Earl James, Kendall James Fowkes, Jon Erik Knabenschuh, Eric James Fowkes, Justin Craig Huntington
