  • Publication number: 20220146220
    Abstract: A weapon system that includes a breechblock, which is formed at least by a breechblock carrier and a breechblock head, the breechblock carrier being designed so as to carry the breechblock head. To achieve the fact that forces acting upon the breechblock drive during the unlocking of the breechblock and the withdrawal of a cartridge casing are minimized or even eliminated, the breechblock head is freely movable relative to the breechblock carrier. To separate the breechblock with a breechblock drive of the weapon system during the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system, a device is designed in such a way that a mechanical separation takes place between the breechblock and the breechblock drive during the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system. During the forward motion of the recoiling masses, the mechanical connection between the breechblock drive and the breechblock is reestablished via the device.

  • Publication number: 20220105520
    Abstract: In consideration of increasing throughput rate of a stable operating process as well as making the process energy-efficient, the aim is to optimise a fluidised bed opposed jet mill and a dedicated process to produce ultrafine particles from a feed material of low bulk density with a housing in vertical design, with a product feed point and a product discharge, with a grinding zone located in the lower area of the housing which has grinding nozzles spaced evenly around the circumference whose jets intersect at one central point and with a classifying device installed in the upper area of the housing. This is achieved by the feed material dosed to the mill from the bottom into the mill sump as a gas-particle mixture, whereby a deflector hood is located above the feed point and below the grinding nozzle level, and the grinding gas nozzles designed to be flush with the walls.

  • Publication number: 20210255749
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for providing a virtual control panel for a controlled device using a controller connected to the controlled device via a near-field communications (NFC) connection. The controlled device may include a transfer memory that is connected to a wireless (NFC) port and a wired port, the wired port being coupled to other internal memory of the controlled device. The controlled device may write parameter data to the transfer memory via the wired port, which is later transmitted to the controller via the NFC connection for presentation via a user interface. The controller may receive (e.g., while the controller is connected or disconnected from the controlled device) adjustments to configurable parameters of the parameter data and transmit the adjustments to the transfer memory via the wireless port for updating the internal memory of the controlled device and thereby adjusting operation of the controlled device.
