Publication number: 20230390966Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing a substance having an improved tensile strength for additive manufacturing. The method can include providing raw material having a first tensile strength. The raw material can include a polymer. The method can include providing a filler material. The filler material can include clay, single wall carbon nanotubes, multi-wall carbon nanotubes, or boron nitride. The method can include cavitating, within a hydrodynamic cavitation chamber, the raw material and the filler material to produce a substance having a second tensile strength greater than the first tensile strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2021Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Applied Cavitation, Inc.Inventors: Dana Lynn HANKEY, Joseph Albert CAPOBIANCO, Marshall Campion TIBBETTS, Michael Alan MASTROPIETRO, Andrew John BAMBACH, Enrique Sarria MORIN

Publication number: 20090241796Abstract: A projectile sealing arrangement for a barrel assembly of a weapon in which a plurality of projectile assemblies are axially disposed in abutting relationship within a barrel. Each projectile assembly is associated with a discrete propellant charge. The sealing arrangement includes a rearward opening communicating with a cavity provided in each projectile assembly for containing the discrete propellant charge, and a forward portion of an abutting projectile assembly arranged for operative sealing engagement with the rearward opening. During application of a compressive load to abutting projectile assemblies, the discrete propellant charge is sealed within the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2008Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: METAL STORM LIMITEDInventor: Ramon John Bambach

Patent number: 7475635Abstract: A projectile sealing arrangement for a barrel assembly of a weapon wherein a plurality of projectile assemblies (10) are axially disposed in abutting relationship within a barrel (20), each projectile assembly (10) including a body (11) associated with a discrete propellant charge (15); said sealing arrangement comprising rearward opening (13) communicating with cavity (14) provided in said projectile assembly (10) for retaining the discrete propellant charge (15) and a forward portion (16) of an abutting projectile arranged for operative sealing engagement with a complementary portion (17) of the rearward opening (13). The sealing arrangement suitably includes surface portions of complementary shapes such that, during application of a compressive load (L) to abutting projectile assemblies (10), discrete propellant charge (15) is scaled within the cavity (14). There is also disclosed and claimed a chain of individual projectiles connected head to tail by complementary spigot and socket members.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2003Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Metal Storm LimitedInventor: Ramon John Bambach

Patent number: 6907829Abstract: An extension for a shelf, the shelf having a substantially planar top surface, a plurality of holes in the top surface, and a front edge. The extension includes a substantially planar shelf portion having a front, back, and left and right sides. The front of the planar shelf portion has a curved portion between the left and right sides. A plurality of downward extending tabs are under the planar shelf portion and are arranged in alignment with corresponding holes in a shelf. A lip extends downward from the curved portion of the planar shelf portion. When the extension is installed on a shelf, the tabs engage the holes in the shelf and the planar shelf portion is substantially parallel with and on the planar top surface of the shelf and the lip is positioned in front of the shelf front lip.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2003Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignee: mii, inc.Inventors: John Bambach, Ernest Spencer
