  • Publication number: 20040148037
    Abstract: A model based controller system and method is disclosed. The system and method includes at least one model including at least one process step, at least one controller that generates at least one control command, at least one component responsive to the at least one control command, wherein the at least one component receives the at least one control command from the at least one controller, and wherein the at least one component sends at least one component information element to the at least one controller, and at least one communicative coordination that communicatively coordinates the at least one model with the at least one controller, wherein the at least one control command is generated in accordance with the at least one process step, and wherein at least one of the at least one process step is varied in accordance with the at least one component information element.

  • Patent number: 6165307
    Abstract: A multi-component three dimensional energetic device and the method of maacturing it. The method includes the steps of forming a quantity of an energetic material into a plurality of sheets having relatively no appreciable thickness, and then cutting at least one required shape from the surface of a portion of each of the plurality of sheets to define an opening for at least one inlay of a different material. An inlay of the different material is placed in the openings to form a plurality of stackable shapes that are then bonded together to form the multi-component three dimensional energetic device. The preferred embodiment includes forming the inlay from an energetic material that is different from the sheet energetic material. Optionally a bonding agent may be admixed with at least one of the materials to facilitate bonding to form the device. The bonding agent may or may not be an energetic material, as desired.
