20120232189 | Energetic Adhesive for Venting Cookoff - A polymer adhesive includes a polymeric binder, optional reinforcing fibers dispersed through the polymer binder and solids dispersed in the polymeric binder. The solids are effective to cause decomposition of the polymer adhesive at a temperature between 200° F. and 500° F. with a generation of gaseous products at a predetermined temperature. One suitable composition includes siloxirane, graphite, glass beads, potassium nitrate, silver nitrate and lactose and decomposes at a temperature of about 318° F. The polymer adhesive may be used in the assembly of a housing for rocket motor or a warhead. Decomposition of the polymer adhesive when the housing is exposed to sufficient external heat to cause a rocket propellant or warhead explosive to decompose, referred to as cook-off, enables venting of the rocket propellant or warhead without uncontrolled destructive rupture of the housing. | 09-13-2012 |

20090084225 | METHODS OF RECOVERING AND PURIFYING SECONDARY ALUMINUM - The invention provides efficient and effective processes for recovering metals such as aluminum, magnesium and lithium from mixed waste sources such as auto shredder residue, aluminum cans, waste particles of aluminum alloy and municipal waste. The metal-waste source is dissolved in a more noble metal solvent at a temperature at which contaminants do not dissolve. The purified metal is then recovered from the solvent, preferably by electrorefining. | 04-02-2009 |
20100276298 | CONVERSION OF CARBON TO HYDROCARBONS - The invention provides methods of forming lower alkyls and alcohols from carbon sources thermally and/or electrolytically. | 11-04-2010 |

20100219163 | HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER HAVING A SWITCH FOR CONNECTION OF A CLOSING RESISTOR - A high-voltage circuit breaker has an interrupter unit, a closing resistor and a switch which is connected in series with the closing resistor. The interrupter unit has a driven first interrupter contact which can move along an axis and interacts with a second interrupter contact, which is arranged on the axis in order to open and close the high-voltage circuit breaker. The switch has a switching contact which can rotate about a rotation shaft (D) and whose rotary movement is coupled by of a link control to the movement along the axis (A | 09-02-2010 |
20130008873 | ELECTRICAL HIGH-VOLTAGE ON-LOAD DISCONNECTOR AND METHOD FOR OPENING THE SAME - A high-voltage disconnector includes first and second contact elements movable along a disconnecting axis with first and second latching elements fixed thereto, respectively, a drive system for moving the first contact element in an opening direction along the axis to open the disconnector, and a restoring system for restoring the second contact element counter to the opening direction. With the disconnector closed, the first and second latching elements are arranged in a latched connection with one another. During an initial phase of the movement of the first contact element in the opening direction the latched connection initially remains, and the second contact element is carried along by the first contact element in the opening direction. During a disconnecting phase, the latched connection is released, the second element is restored by the restoring system counter to the opening direction, and the second contact element is disconnected from the first contact element. | 01-10-2013 |
20140080356 | ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FOR A HIGH-VOLTAGE INSTALLATION - Exemplary embodiments are directed to an electrical component for a high-voltage installation. The electrical component in a coaxial arrangement, has an electrical conductor which extends along an axis and is connected to high-voltage potential and a rigid insulating body. The insulting body is fastened on the electrical conductor and surrounds the electrical conductor. A mounting flange is fastened on the insulating body, and is connected to ground potential. A dome-shaped control electrode is electrically connectively connected to the electrical conductor and is fastened to one end of the electrical conductor. During operation of the installation, the control electrode controls the electrical field between the electrical conductor and the mounting flange. The control electrode is connected non-detachably to the electrical conductor and has a dimensionally stable dome consisting of the solid polymer composition to provide a simple manufacturing process and increase the operational reliability of the component. | 03-20-2014 |
