  • Patent number: 11911715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the break-up of at least one emulsion and separation of the light and heavy phase with at least an de-emulsification rate of more than 95% in only one apparatus (module) within less than 5 min by applying at least one time dependent or temporal changeable electrical field wherein the at least one electrical field is a high frequency (HF) singular alternating current (AC) field with an electrical field strength between 2,000 and 100,000 V/m and a frequency (HF) between 12,000 Hz and 200,000 Hz. The present invention relates furthermore to a method for the treatment of at least one emulsion by applying at least one direct current (DC) field and at least one high frequency alternating current-HF/AC field wherein the at least one DC field, in particular a pulsed DC-field, and the at least one HF/AC field are applied in series to the emulsion to be treated. The present invention refers further to a device for conducting said methods.

  • Patent number: 11906275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bullet, in particular precision bullet, comprising a bullet core with a bow-side section, a tail-side section with a bullet base and a guide band located therebetween, and a bullet jacket completely surrounding the bullet core, wherein in the region of the bullet core tail axially offset from the guide band and/or in the region of a tail-side end face of the bullet core base and/or in the region of the bullet core bow axially offset from the guide band a profiling is placed, in accordance with the bullet jacket, adapts complementary in shape in in such a way that an anti-rotation structure is formed between the bullet jacket and the bullet core.

  • Patent number: 10976143
    Abstract: For the transport and handling of ammunition, the safety level is determined according to the amount of explosive used. Thereby, regulatory constraints are set for example for air transports, which barely suffice for a trial of projectiles. By a specific guidance of shockwaves resulting on impact on a target multilateral, high compressions are evolving inside the acting body (5?), which are initiating the same reliably without additional means or support agents. The subject of the invention aims at great savings of explosive without losses in the effect and significantly increases the safety during transport and handling.

  • Patent number: 10451392
    Abstract: Tracer ammunition for tracking the trajectory and/or the impact of projectiles in the target generally contains pyrotechnics. These pyrotechnics demonstrate various disadvantages, wherein the most serious is the continued burning of the pyrotechnics, even after penetration of the projectile in the target. This causes an increased risk of fire and acute injuries. A mixture of light metal and a carbon-containing substrate, ignites during firing of a projectile and burns during its flight by means of air oxygen introduced into the combustion chamber by way of tear-off edges, and produces a tracer that extinguishes in the target.

  • Patent number: 10330448
    Abstract: A fragmentation projectile in one aspect has a frontal cavity and defined fragments of medium to high density. The fragments are nearly form fitting together to form a compact projectile until its impact on the target. To achieve these specific mechanical properties, Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods are applied.

  • Patent number: 10184769
    Abstract: The invention relates to a detonator system for hand grenades, having an ignition element (1) which after initiation triggers a delay and safety device, which, with a time delay after the initiation, fires a detonator (7), which then ignites an ignition booster (8), wherein the delay and safety device includes a dual safety device of two independent parts.
