Patent number: 11835326Abstract: The invention relates to an igniter with a delay time (Vz) that can be set. The delay time (Vz) can be fixedly defined, or individually and situation-dependently set on-site. In particular, the invention relates to a delay time that can be set for a stun grenade, a hand grenade etc., with options for the individual setting and situation-dependent or situation-contingent customisation of the delay time (Vz), and consequently of the effect of the active compositions in-situ.

Patent number: 11054231Abstract: A stun grenade for individual adjustment and situation-dependent adaptation of the number of active masses in situ. A switch mechanism is built into the stun grenade, enabling the simultaneous activation of different chambers inside the stun grenade in order to adjust the effect. The switch mechanism is formed by a tube and peripherally integrated boreholes and grooves. A different number of the chambers in the stun grenade is activated by the switch mechanism, thereby increasing or decreasing the active power.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbHInventors: Frank Habel, Mathias Koschmieder

Patent number: 10996034Abstract: An irritation member having a housing, wherein the housing has a front side and a rear side, as well as lateral surfaces connecting the front side and the rear side. The front side and rear side are larger than the lateral surfaces, thereby producing a parallelepipedal housing. The irritation member has blow-out openings on the lateral surfaces and an actuation element that is provided in a recess of the housing. In the event of non-actuation, the actuation element is thereby received in the recess of the housing and thus does not increase the size of the housing. As a result, the irritation member does not look like a conventional irritation member.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbHInventors: Martin Wustlich, Frank Habel, Kai Luebbers, Julia Heering, Philip Weber, Kolja Garber

Patent number: 10662549Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of III-V-, IV-IV- or II-VI-compound semiconductor crystals. The process starts with providing of a substrate with optionally one crystal layer (buffer layer). Subsequently, a gas phase is provided, which comprises at least two reactants of the elements of the compound semiconductor (II, III, IV, V, VI) which are gaseous at a reaction temperature in the crystal growth reactor and can react with each other at the selected reactor conditions. The ratio of the concentrations of two of the reactants is adjusted such that the compound semiconductor crystal can crystallize from the gas phase, wherein the concentration is selected that high, that crystal formation is possible, wherein by an adding or adjusting of reducing agent and of co-reactant, the activity of the III-, IV- or II-compound in the gas phase is decreased, so that the growth rate of the crystals is lower compared to a state without co-reactant.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Freiberger Compound Materials GMBHInventors: Berndt Weinert, Frank Habel, Gunnar Leibiger
