Patent number: 10859358Abstract: An ignition system for energetics including artillery charges includes a radio frequency transmitter and a radio frequency igniter. The radio frequency igniter receives and converts radio frequency energy into heat or electrical energy for the purpose of igniting energetics, such as propellants or pyrotechnics. The radio frequency igniter may be applied to the exterior of the energetic container or may be integral to the container.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Gregory Burke, John Hirlinger, Thomas DeVoe, Christopher Csernica, Viral Panchal, Mohamed Elalem

Patent number: 10317182Abstract: A safety fuze for use in military and commercial applications, includes a fuze body that is attached to a trigger mechanism, an energetic train contained within the fuze body, and a non-energetic fuze delay mixture that is formed in a rod form so that it can dropped inside the fuze body, without modification to the other components of the safety fuze. Preferably, the non-energetic fuze delay mixture is made of foamed celluloid.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Mohamed Elalem, Philip Abbate, Vincent Gonsalves, Matthew P. Evangelisti, John W. Grassia, Steve Kotefski, Nikola Kotefski, Ming-Wan Young, Fei Shen, Chong Peng, Linjie Zhu, Viral Panchal

Patent number: 10254092Abstract: A muzzle loaded ammunition round having a bullet and a consumable cartridge case. The cartridge case is hollow and is filled with at least one propellant composition, the cartridge case being constructed from a consumable material, such as foamed celluloid. The bullet is commonly engaged to the propellant composition at least via the cartridge case, the propellant composition having a charge weight.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Vista Outdoor Operations LLCInventors: William J. Worrell, Jr., Drew Lee Goodlin, Richard Quesenberry, Jeffrey Bandel, Benjamin R. Vaughan, Sandra L. Case, Ming-Wan Young, Costas G. Gogos, Niloufar Faridi, Linjie Zhu, Peter Bonnett, Howard Shimm, Elbert Caravaca, Joseph Palk, Jr., Dale Conti, Mohamed Elalem, Fei Shen

Patent number: 9625242Abstract: A modular artillery charge system module includes a central igniter container and cap end and body end igniter containers fixed to the central igniter container. The central igniter container is a rigid, longitudinal tube with opposing ends. The end igniter containers are fixed to the opposing ends of the central igniter container. Each end igniter container includes a large container portion and a small container portion that extends from the large container portion toward the central igniter container. The central igniter container and end igniter containers are made of a rigid material, such as foamed celluloid.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Mohamed Elalem, Gregory C. Burke, Viral Panchal, Philip Abbate, Chong Peng, Fei Shen

Patent number: 8881634Abstract: An encapsulated propellant charge comprised a sealed combustible container comprised of a consumable material and having a substantially cylindrical shape. The sealed combustible container comprises a top wall, a bottom wall, and a side wall therebetween. The top wall, the bottom wall and the side wall define a chamber; which contains a propellant composition.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Alliant Techsystems Inc.Inventors: William J.

Patent number: 8696838Abstract: A method of manufacture of foamed celluloid molded products, involving three steps for the manufacture of higher density (0.7 to 1.25 gm/cc) foamed celluloid products or simple geometry lower density (0.2 to 0.7 gm/cc) foamed celluloid products, and four steps for the manufacture of lower density foamed celluloid products of any geometry. The three step process involving: (1) providing small, uniform, pieces of celluloid; (2) presoaking the pieces in a physical blowing agent (PBA) under pressure; and (3) foaming at raised temperature a controlled quantity of the presoaked pieces in a mold—to obtain the desired shape and density. For a lower density foamed celluloid product, of any moldable geometry, the steps are to: (1) small pieces of celluloid, that (2) have been presoaked in a PBA, are (3) pre-expanded to an intermediate density, and then (4) foam the desired lower density foamed product in a mold at raised temperature.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Niloufar Faridi, Linjie Zhu, Ming-Wan Young, Costas G.

Patent number: 8597444Abstract: By using generally known chemically, physically, or a combination thereof, means to foam celluloid, a foamed celluloid material is invented with a density of less than about 1.25 gm/cm3, which material is relatively low cost, very fast burning, very low residue, easily moldable, and which material exhibits good mechanical strength, and provides a good water barrier. These characteristics make this foamed celluloid a preferred choice for military artillery propellant charge bags, military mortar and civilian fireworks increment charges, combustible cartridges, flare housings, igniter tubes, as well as, closure disks, combustible enclosures and components thereof, among other applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Ming-Wan Young, Costas G.
