  • Patent number: 7398720
    Abstract: A blasting method of processing a bomb by forming an explosive layer on an outermost surface of the bomb to be processed having a casing in a particular shape and by exploding the explosive layer, wherein the explosive layer comprises a first explosive layer formed around the outermost surface of the casing and a second explosive layer formed as to surround the first explosive layer, an explosive in the second explosive layer has a higher explosion velocity than an explosive in the first explosive layer, and the second and first explosive layers are exploded at a certain time interval by igniting a particular region of the second explosive layer. The method allows low-cost blasting of bombs, by relaxing the impact of the scattering casing fragments.

  • Patent number: 5959582
    Abstract: To reduce the manufacturing cost by reducing the number of surfaces of a dielectric base on which various patterns are formed, and to improve the ease of impedance matching while avoiding an increase in size. Each of a feed electrode and a ground electrode is formed between a position on an end surface and a position on a lower surface of a dielectric base. A radiation electrode is formed, which extends from a position on an upper surface to positions on the upper and lower surfaces via another end surface of the dielectric base.
