Abstract: A pyrogen igniter for small nozzle applications has a high initial output. igh initial output and long duration burning are achieved through utilization of a slow burning igniter main charge in conjunction with a booster pellet. A nozzle plate focuses and directs the output of the igniter as a gas jet while shielding the interior of the igniter from exterior temperature and pressure fluctuations which might otherwise operate to extinguish the igniter. A flush bridgewire/pressed prime igniter configuration and the elimination of loose powder in the igniter facilitates economical production and long shelf-life.

Abstract: A theft communication system is particularly useful for indicating the unauthorized disconnection of a television set or the like from any one of the rooms of a hotel or motel. The communication system includes a central transmitter connected with a master television antenna system for transmitting successive querying scan pulses to sensors located on the antenna line at the location of each television set. Each of the sensors is adapted to apply a reply signal to the antenna line if its sensing circuitry indicates that its associated television set has been disconnected therefrom. The time of reply of each of the sensors is different from that of any other, and the system further includes a receiver connected to the antenna line at a central location for receipt of such reply signals.
