  • Patent number: 11940254
    Abstract: A projectile designed to be lead-free and have a ballistic coefficient ranging from about 0.13 to about 0.80 or greater for enhanced energy/performance at extended ranges may have an elongated body formed with a jacket including a wall having an end defining an ogive portion and a cavity or recess defined within the jacket and in which a core is received. The projectile can be configured in various calibers and sizes. The projectile core may be formed from a plurality of core sections, and at least one of the plurality of core sections may include tungsten powder and a lead-free binder material pressed together to form a substantially cylindrical shape or compact. One or more of the core sections further can be sintered, and the one or more core sections may be received in an end-to-end relationship within the cavity defined by the jacket to form a stacked, sectional core.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6555745
    Abstract: A flexible interconnect for electrically connecting a display unit to a data processing unit to facilitate transmission of low voltage differential signals and inhibit electromagnetic interference (EMI). The flexible interconnect includes a conductive layer extending along a plane and an upper and lower insulative layer above and below the conductive layer. The interconnect includes an upper and lower shield layer above and below the upper and lower insulative layer. The flexible interconnect layers form first and second opposing sides orthogonal to the plane of the conductive layer. The interconnect also includes at least two conductive shield members that face the first and second opposing sides of the flexible interconnect layers. The two conductive shield members electrically connect the upper and lower shield layer on each opposing side such that the conductive shield members and the shield layers inhibit EMI about the length of the flexible interconnect.
