Abstract: A multi-petal adapter that enables projectiles of different sizes to be used in a single dearmer. The adapter includes a plurality of petals that are secured, in a detachable way, to a base. The main function of the base is to secure the petals until the projectile is fired from the dearmer. Whereupon, the adapter will start petalling until the petals become detached from the base, so that the adapter imparts minimal or no energy or damage to the intended target. The adapter fully regulates the energy imparted to the various projectiles, by allowing propellant gases to bleed through channels that are formed between the petals. As a result, the present adapter fully supports a proper projectile launch and ensures its proper orientation toward the target.

Abstract: A kit of modular explosive ordnance disposal components may include five components. The five components may be assembled in various configurations to fire solid slugs, water shots, or fin-stabilized projectiles. Each assembled configuration may include a first component having a generally cylindrical shape, a through-bore, a muzzle end, and a breech end. The muzzle end of the first component may include external threads. The breech end of the first component may include an internally-threaded portion for receiving a .50 caliber breech plug. A .50 caliber cartridge chamber may be formed adjacent the internally-threaded portion. A bore of about one inch in diameter may extend from the .50 caliber cartridge chamber to the muzzle end of the first component.

Abstract: A tool box includes a case having a recessed area defined in an outside thereof, and the recessed area includes a first recessed corner, a second recessed corner and a connection recess portion connected between the first and second recessed corners. A stop is formed on at least one side of the connection recessed portion and two grooves are defined in the outside of the case. A protection strip is engaged with the recessed area and includes a first corner, a second corner and a connection portion is connected between the first and second corners. Each of the first and second corners has a hook which is engaged with the groove corresponding thereto so as to protect the corner of the tool box.

Abstract: Allowing a wireless network application to execute, as during development and testing, as if connected to a wireless network using wireless modems without requiring physical access to or presence of a wireless network or devices for accessing the same, by simulating a wireless modem or device. The simulation of commands for a type of wireless communication device with a predefined attention command set may entail receiving, at a wireless communication device simulator, attention commands of the attention command set. For received attention commands, responses may be automatically determined or selected in response to receiving the command without using a wireless communication device to determine the appropriate response. And, the determined attention command responses may be provided from the wireless communication device simulator.
