  • Patent number: 4976794
    Abstract: LOVA gun propellants are formed from a thermoplastic elastomer and particulates of high-energy oxidizers, e.g., RDX and HMX.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 1988
    Date of Patent: December 11, 1990
    Assignee: Morton Thiokol Inc.
    Inventors: Richard A. Biddle, Rodney L. Willer
  • Patent number: 4919737
    Abstract: LOVA gun propellants are formed from a thermoplastic elastomer and particulates of high-energy oxidizers, e.g., RDX and HMX.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 1989
    Date of Patent: April 24, 1990
    Assignee: Morton Thiokol Inc.
    Inventors: Richard A. Biddle, Rodney L. Willer
  • Patent number: 4527389
    Abstract: Non-hazardous, highly soluble hydroxylammonium salt solutions are disclosed. These solutions have utility as liquid oxidizers in solid/liquid hybrid rocket motors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 21, 1982
    Date of Patent: July 9, 1985
    Assignee: Thiokol Corporation
    Inventors: Richard A. Biddle, Ernest S. Sutton
  • Patent number: 4407119
    Abstract: Incorporation of various flame coolants, particularly ferrous oxalate, cupric oxalate and submicron size Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4 in N,N'-dihydroxyethane diamide containing gas generants results in cooler flame temperature and reduced HCN content. Use of downstream coolants further reduces evolved gas temperature and also further reduces HCN content. Devices incorporating these propellants are useful inflators for many devices such as helicopter flotation bags, cargo pallet soft-landing bags, aircraft escape slides, inflatable life rafts and similar items. They are particularly suitable when these items must be man-rated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 1981
    Date of Patent: October 4, 1983
