Abstract: Provided is a multi-purpose imaging apparatus (10) comprising a body (14) and imaging means (36) housed within the body (14). The body (14) is adapted to releasably engage an adaptor (12). The adaptor (12) has an aperture (108) extending therethrough that aligns with the optical axis (X) of the imaging means (36) when so engaged, such that at least a portion of the optical axis (X) is not obscured. The adaptor (12) also has optics for illuminating a subject within the optical axis (X) for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract: A warhead includes an explosive charge placed in a confinement casing and bounded towards a front portion by a liner, the entire warhead having an axis of symmetry of revolution. A detector is provided in front of the charge and processing and command circuits are provided in a rear portion of the charge. A multiple-point detonator is communicated with an axial space providing a detector-circuit link without harming the efficiency of the charge.

Abstract: A direct current supply, making it possible to produce a number of separate regulated voltages from a single regulated supply, constituted by a voltage multiplier with cascade-connected doubler stages. One of the doubler stages, preferably the first, supplies by the connection point of its two rectifiers at least one circuit for generating a complementary d.c. voltage. This generator circuit comprises a variable capacitor connected downstream to two oppositely connected diodes and connected to earth or to a fixed d.c. potential, one directly and the other across a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel.
