  • Publication number: 20230408990
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods utilizing regenerative agriculture for the procurement, production, refinement and/or transformation of low carbon intensity transportation fuels, including low carbon intensity biodiesel and/or renewable diesel, low carbon intensity biogasoline, low carbon intensity aviation, marine and kerosene fuels as well as fuel oil blends, low carbon intensity ethanol, and low carbon intensity hydrogen, that may be beneficially commercialized directly to consumers. In further aspects, the systems and methods of the present disclosure advantageously generate low carbon intensity comestibles, including sustainably-sourced meal and/or feed. The disclosed systems and methods may be utilized and optimized such that the resulting fuels and foodstuffs are characterized by a reduction in greenhouse gas production and a diminution in the fertilizer, pesticide and water required for producing the associated crop feedstocks.

  • Patent number: 5147978
    Abstract: A cased telescoped ammunition in which a rigid liner fills the gap between the control tube and the metering tube. The liner comprises an energetic material which transfers the ignition stimulus from the control tube propellant to the main propellant. Energetic materials in the liner an be modified to increase the ignition stimulus for proper cold round performance or decrease ignition stimulus for an improved timed sequencing of the round's performance. Both double-based and single-based energetic materials may be used.
