  • Stable Initiator Compositions and Igniters
    Publication number: 20080110872
    Abstract: High sparking initiator compositions with a controlled amount of power are disclosed. The initiator compositions comprise a metal containing oxidizing agent, at least one metal reducing agent, and a non-explosive binder. Low voltage igniters that provide bidirectional plumes upon ignition are also disclosed. These igniters have a electrically resistive element positioned across a hole in a support which directs the plume. These igniters and compositions are useful in the actuation of solid fuel heating unit, in particular, sealed heating units.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 17, 2008
    Publication date: May 15, 2008
    Applicant: ALEXZA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
    Inventors: Ron Hale, Mingzu Lei, Hilary Pettit, Dennis Solas, Soonho Song, Curtis Tom
