Abstract: According to some embodiments, a holding device for a detonation initiation system is disclosed. The holding device includes an initiator holder having a longitudinal internal cavity. The longitudinal internal cavity is configured to retain an initiator and an electrical cable in electrical contact with the initiator. The holding device further includes a plurality of retention fingers configured for retaining a shaped charge adjacent the initiator. The plurality of retention fingers define a shaped charge receiving portion that may be configured to receive shaped charges of different shapes. The holder may be formed from a thermoplastic material.

Abstract: Embodiments of a low-voltage, non-primary explosive detonator (110) may include a detonator shell (120) having an open end (122), a closed end (124), and a hollow interior (125) between the open and closed ends. Some embodiments include a reinforcement area of the detonator shell. A pyrotechnical material is disposed within the hollow interior, and a main explosive load is disposed within the hollow interior in between the pyrotechnical material and the closed end. In some embodiments, one or both of the pyrotechnical material and the main explosive load may be multilayered, for example with a density gradient configured to accelerate deflagration. The detonator may further include a fuse head disposed at the open end and in proximity to the pyrotechnical material within the detonator shell.

Abstract: A power module (1) includes a group of at least three rectangular electrical power components (11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, 26) arranged on a substrate (2), wherein in that at least one side (31) of at least one of the rectangular electrical power components (11, 14) is not orthogonal or parallel to a line (3) that passes through the geometric centres of the remaining rectangular electrical power components (12, 13) of the group.

Abstract: A power module (2) including a plurality of rectangular electrical power components (4, 4?) arranged on a substrate (6). The sides of at least a subset of the rectangular electrical power components (4, 4?) are not orthogonal to a line (12, 12?) that passes through the geometric centre (C) of the rectangular electrical power components (4, 4?) of the subset and extends orthogonal to a side (L, M) of the substrate (6).

Abstract: An imprinted or compressed sheet material can be produced by subjecting a pre-dried composite material to an energy transfer step in which the sheet material is passed between an energy-emitting device and a patterned anvil. An oil is applied to the anvil after the passing of the sheet material and the applied oil is removed from the anvil before the next passing of the sheet material. An apparatus for continuously producing such a sheet material includes a patterned anvil roll, an energy transmitter emitting ultrasound energy to the anvil roll, a means for applying an oil over the breadth of the anvil roll and a means for removing oil from the roll downstream of the means for applying the oil.

Abstract: A clutch/brake unit for an accumulating conveyor for driving and for braking at least one roller which is provided for transporting a unit load on a roller path of the accumulating conveyor. The clutch/brake unit is driven continuously during operation via an endless drive traction mechanism on a driving roller and is configured, in an engaged operating state, for transmitting the rotational movement of the driving roller about an axis to a driven roller and, in a braking operating state, for slowing down the driven roller on a housing of the clutch/brake unit. The driven roller is connected to the roller via the endless traction mechanism. A compression spring displaces the driven roller along the axis in the direction of the housing in order to shift the clutch/brake unit into its braking operating state.
