  • Patent number: 11027482
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method utilizes at least two separate components during the process of producing the final product. At least one component during the process is produced using additive manufacturing, and additional components are components that are combined with the additively manufactured part. The apparatus, system, and method includes at least one energetic component and at least one second inert component. An additive manufacturing system produces a scaffold of said first energetic component(s). A system adds the second component(s) to the scaffold to produce the energetic material product.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9725373
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the design and manufacture of an ignitable solid, where the solid is composed of an array of ignitable regions. In some examples, the array provides a three-dimensional periodic arrangement of such ignitable regions. The ignitable region can have any useful geometry and geometric arrangement within the solid, and methods of making such regions are also described herein.

  • Patent number: 5369899
    Abstract: A magnetic name plate assembly includes a name plate and a retaining member which are magnetically receivable in face-to-face relation so that a user's garment may be sandwiched therebetween. The name plate and the retaining member are provided with interengaging elements that interlock with the fabric sandwiched therebetween and effectively limit relative movement of one member with respect to the other.
