Patent number: 10246428Abstract: A method and compound includes mixing dichloroglyoxime with an alcohol containing an alkyne functional group in methanol to create a mixture; adding a salt compound and water to the mixture to create bis-isoxazole diol; and nitrating the bis-isoxazole diol to create 3,3?-bis-isoxazole-5,5?-bis-methylene dinitrate, which has the structural formula: The alcohol containing an alkyne functional group may include propargyl alcohol. The salt compound may include sodium bicarbonate. The method may include nitrating the bis-isoxazole diol with nitric acid. The nitric acid may include at least a concentration of 90% nitric acid in water. Alternatively, the method may include nitrating the bis-isoxazole diol with 100% nitric acid and acetic anhydride. The salt compound and the water may be added to the mixture over at least a six-hour period. The method may include mixing the mixture after adding the salt compound and the water for at least ten hours.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Jesse J. Sabatini, Gregory W. Drake, Leah A. Wingard, Eric C. Johnson

Patent number: 9994532Abstract: A method and compound includes mixing a salt compound to 2-butyne-1,4-diol in an alcohol to create a mixture; adding a solution of dichloroglyoxime in an alcohol to the mixture to create 3,3?-bis-isoxazole-4,4?,5,5?-tetryltetramethanol; and nitrating the 3,3?-bis-isoxazole-4,4?,5,5?-tetryltetramethanol to create 3,3?-bis-isoxazole-4,4?,5,5?-tetrylbis(methylene) tetranitrate, which has the structural formula: The alcohol may include ethanol, wherein the adding may occur at 60° C., or alternatively the adding may occur at 80° C. The alcohol may include n-butanol, wherein the adding may occur at 100° C., or alternatively the adding may occur at 120° C. The mixing may occur at 120° C. The method may further include cooling the nitrated 3,3?-bis-isoxazole-4,4?,5,5?-tetryltetramethanol to 0° C.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Jesse J. Sabatini, Gregory W Drake, Leah A. Wingard

Patent number: 9856181Abstract: The present invention is a red-light-emitting composition based upon a potassium periodate oxidizer formulation, which is useful as the illuminant in the US military's M662 40 mm red star parachute projectile, and which composition is composed of readily commercially available ingredients—ingredients that are environmentally friendly. Further, the subject inventive potassium periodate formulation provides significant enhanced illumination and safety versus the current military M662 illuminant which is based upon potassium perchlorate oxidizer formulation.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Jesse J. Sabatini, Jared D. Moretti

Patent number: 9702678Abstract: An improved armor piercing and pyrotechnic projectile for use in .50? military caliber rounds. Such projectiles contain a core, jacket, a base and a hollow nose housing pyrotechnic mixtures composed of sodium periodate and magnalium. The improved projectiles exhibit increased luminosity, and are non-toxic, safer, and environmentally benign compared to current state-of-the-art projectiles.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Jared D. Moretti, Jesse J. Sabatini, Gary Chen

Patent number: 9409830Abstract: A non-toxic primer mix in which DBX-1 (copper(I) 5-nitrotetrazole) acts as the primary explosive portion of the primer. Furthermore, in this mix, boron carbide (B4C) replaces the traditional frictionator/fuel, toxic antimony trisulfide. In addition, potassium nitrate replaces the toxic barium nitrate (BaNO3)2) as the oxidizer, providing an ignition flame from the primer in a pyrotechnic reaction. The non-toxic primer therefore embodies a lead-free, barium-free, antimony-free explosive material that can include added fuels, sensitizers, explosives and/or binders.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Christopher M. Csernica, Karl D. Oyler, Jesse J. Sabatini, Neha Mehta

Publication number: 20160115090Abstract: A yellow smoke composition useful in hand held signals, such as the U.S. Army M194 yellow smoke parachute signal; which composition contains the nontoxic, environmentally safe, quinoline solvent yellow 33 color agent and critically exhibits the requisite dense yellow smoke for the requisite 9 to 18 second burn time upon use. Further, this inventive yellow smoke composition can be used in current metal tubes and in other media, such as biodegradable cardboard tubes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2013Publication date: April 28, 2016Inventors: Jared D. Moretti, Jesse J. Sabatini, Gary Chen, Robert Gilbert, JR.

Patent number: 9193637Abstract: A white star pyrotechnic illuminant composition, useful in US military M127A1 parachuted hand held signals (HHS), which illuminant provides surprisingly enhanced luminous intensity and luminous efficiency versus the current M127A1 U.S. military HHS white star pyrotechnic illuminant. The inventive illuminant formulation includes a mixture of powdered sodium nitrate, magnesium, alkyl polysulfide polymer and a binder; wherein the magnesium and alkyl polysulfide is preferably recovered from the demilitarization of obsolete munitions to realize a significant savings.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Jesse J. Sabatini, Leon L. Robert, Jr., Jared D. Moretti
