  • Anti-vibration mounting system
    Patent number: 10386166
    Abstract: A mounting system for mounting an electronic component (2) in a housing (8) comprises a visco-elastic damping element (14, 20) for damping the transmission of vibration from the housing (8) to the component (2) in use, and a support (24, 52) for supporting the component (2) in the housing (8) independently of the damping element (14, 20) whereby the weight of the component (2) is substantially or completely removed from the damping element (14, 20). The support (24, 52) is configured to be selectively releasable from the component (2) such that the component (2) is then supported only by the damping element (14, 20).

  • Projectiles
    Patent number: 10378866
    Abstract: An assembly (2) for attachment to a projectile comprises a first part (4) and a second part (6) mounted for rotation relative to the first part (4) about an axis (A). There is an axial gap (G) between the first and second parts (4, 6). At least one plastically deformable element (34) is arranged within the gap (G) between the first and second parts (4, 6), the plastically deformable element (34) being such as to deform due to the closing of the axial gap (G) between the first and second parts (4, 6) during launch of the projectile.
