Abstract: Systems and methods for suppressing infrared radiation generated by a turbine engine. A system comprises a primary assembly having a center body, a plurality of vanes extending from the center body, an outer radial duct with the plurality of vanes extending therethrough, a structural baffle, and a mixer. The primary assembly is disposed in the exhaust flow path of a turbine engine and encased in ducting and/or an airfoil. An air flow path defined between the center body and outer radial duct is axially spit by an interface rim and flow segregator. The flow segregator segregates engine core flow from ambient air flow.

Abstract: A safe for storing ammunition or other heat-sensitive explosive materials. The safe includes a plurality of walls, a door attached to one of the plurality of walls, an interior space defined by the plurality of walls and the door, an opening extending through one of the plurality of walls or the door, a pane coupled over the opening, and a cover coupled to the one of the plurality of walls or the door adjacent the pane. The pane automatically exposes the opening when the interior space reaches a predetermined temperature, which is lower than the temperature at which ammunition or other heat-sensitive explosive material detonates. Accordingly, the safe provides for pressure release before the ammunition or other heat-sensitive explosive material detonates.

Abstract: An anise flavored liquid medication. The liquid medication contains phenylephrine and an anethole analog that is substantially free of aldehyde groups. In one example, the anethole analog can be 1-methoxy-4-n-propylbenzene.

Abstract: In described examples, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) includes a first element and a second element. The first element is mounted on a substrate and has a first contact surface. The second element is mounted on the substrate and has a second contact surface that protrudes from the second element to form an acute contact surface. The first element and/or the second element is/are operable to move in: a first direction, such that the first contact surface comes in contact with the second contact surface; and a second direction, such that the second contact surface separates from the first contact surface.

Abstract: A portable target apparatus is described including a first sensored, penetrable target and a second sensored, penetrable target positioned adjacent the first sensored, penetrable target. A user defined number of projectile penetrations on only the first sensored, penetrable target position it non-upright out of the shooter's field-of-view. Whenever the second sensored, penetrable target is penetrated by a projectile the first sensored, penetrable target does not move to the non-upright position out of the shooter's field-of-view even when the same projectile also penetrates the first sensored, penetrable target.

Abstract: A portable target apparatus is described including a threat/shoot target and a no threat/no shoot target positioned near the threat/shoot target. A user defined number of projectile impacts on only the threat/shoot target move it to a position out of the shooter's field-of-view. The threat/shoot target remains in the shooter's field-of-view whenever the no threat/no shoot target is impacted by a projectile.
