Publication number: 20130104766Abstract: A diversionary device has a housing containing a pyrotechnic cartridge (24) with an ignitable fuse (52). A firing arrangement includes an ignition cap (60) containing a primer charge (54). Passageways (74, 82) in the housing and ignition cap define a first flow path from the primer charge to a region of the housing in which the fuse (52) is located through which flash from the primer charge can flow to ignite the fuse (52). A further flow path connects said region of the housing with the exterior of the housing to supply the fuse with oxygen for reliable burning. The device may be a multi-burst device containing a plurality of cartridges (24) and the first flow path may include a flash divider (86) for directing a proportion of the flash from a primer charge on to the fuse (52) of each cartridge. The housing may be separable to allow replacement of the cartridges (24).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: THOMAS LOWE DEFENCEInventor: Duncan Thomas

Publication number: 20130104767Abstract: A conveyor system for transporting articles, comprising a rail system that comprises a plurality of track sections and at least one switch point, by which, via a switch point drive, a first track section can be connected to a second track section or to a third track section of the rail system. At least one drivable transport trolley can be driven along a path of movement on the rail system. A communications system with comprises at least one communications line that extends along the path of movement of the at least one transport trolley. A trolley communications unit disposed on the at least one transport trolley interacts with the communications line. The switch point drive can be controlled by means of a switch point control system, which is connected to the at least one communications line.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: EISENMANN AGInventor: Juergen Roeckle

Publication number: 20130104768Abstract: An equipment recovery system for high risk environments such as high wall mine shafts has a vehicle that rides on a track including applications where a push-beam conveyor may serve as the track. The vehicle has a guide to keep it on the track and a hitch for attaching a recovery cable. The vehicle is remotely operated from outside the mine, has a power train for moving the vehicle, an implement for performing tasks, and carries an onboard power source and electrical control boxes to power and control the vehicle and implement. The vehicle may communicate with an outside operator station via an Ethernet cable and may employ and Ethernet extender for that purpose. The vehicle may have a camera to transmit video images. The vehicle may be operated from a high wall miner control center or from an operator station on a self propelled support vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2012Publication date: May 2, 2013Inventor: Robert Wayne Graham

Publication number: 20130104769Abstract: The invention transforms conventional vehicles into Personal Road-Rail Vehicles (PRRVs) that have revolutionary dual mode of travel capabilities that permits their being driving as both conventional vehicles on conventional roads and as revolutionary high speed PRRVs on compact Road-Rail Highway Systems (RRHSs) (somewhat vaguely similar to a one car, high speed passenger train). it is envisioned these PRRVs and RRHSs will permit cost effectively upgrading and modernizing the national transportation system and infrastructure by: significantly reducing traffic congestion at major cities and highways by cost-effective adding additional multi-stacked, compact RRHS' lanes on existing real estate; expediting the transition to all electric PRRVs and the construction of electric power grids nationwide to support the embedded power grids in the RRHSs; and lastly by providing automated PRRV travel on RRHSs that will support evolving to fully automatic PRRV travel thus reducing the need for high speed passenger trains.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Inventor: Fredrick John Lebert

Publication number: 20130104770Abstract: Provided is a railway vehicle having a configuration which can sufficiently protect the cabin even when large external force is applied to the end structures thereof. An end structure 50 is disposed at an end portion of the vehicle body 11 through a crushable zone 40. The end structure is provided with an end post, corner posts, and an upper reinforcement beam 56. The lower end portions of the end post and the corner posts are joined to an end beam 26 of an underframe, and the upper end portions of the end post and the corner posts are joined to the upper reinforcement beam, respectively. In the crushable zone, there are provided a lower slide portion and an upper slide portion. The lower slide portion is configured by connecting a slide center beam projecting from a center portion of an end beam of the underframe in a direction of a cap beam with a guide center beam projecting from the cap beam in a vehicle end direction by a lower fuse member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: NIPPON SHARYO, LTD.Inventors: Koji Nakao, Kentaro Hayashi, Takashi Ishizuka, Masaru Kuroda

Publication number: 20130104772Abstract: At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may involve the intentional changing of the stability of an emulsion from a first stability to a more desired, second stability upon the addition of a more aromatic asphaltene subfraction (perhaps even a most aromatic asphaltene subfraction), or a less aromatic asphaltene subfraction (perhaps even a least aromatic asphatene subfraction) to a emulsion hydrocarbon of an oil emulsion, thereby increasing emulsion stability or decreasing emulsion stability, respectively. Precipitation and redis solution or sorbent-based techniques may be used to isolate a selected asphaltene subfraction before its addition to an emulsion hydrocarbon when that hydrocarbon is part of an emulsion or an ingredient of a yet-to-be-formed emulsion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: The University of Wyoming Research Corporation d/b/a Western Research InstituteInventor: The University of Wyoming Research Corporation d/b/a Western Research Institute
