摘要： An inertia igniter including a mechanical delay mechanism having two or more members which are movable under different acceleration conditions to sequentially move a movable member upon sequential movement of the two or more members and an ignition member actuatable by the movable member such that movement of the movable member by the two or more members ignites the ignition member. The movable member can be movable by one of translation and rotation. The inertia igniter can further comprise an impact mass releasably movable in the housing, wherein the impact mass is released and movable by movement of the movable member to impact the ignition member. The inertia igniter can also further comprise a stop member for preventing movement of the impact mass until the movable member has moved a predetermined distance.

摘要： An inertially activated electrochemical cell has a first and a second electrode and an electrolyte. The electrolyte, or at least an active component thereof, is enclosed in an encapsulant which can be disrupted when a compressive force is applied thereto. When the electrolyte material is encapsulated, the cell is inactive and has a long storage life. When the cell is exposed to a predetermined level of acceleration or deceleration, the encapsulant is subjected to a compressive force causing it to be thereby disrupted freeing the electrolyte material and rendering the cell active.

摘要： Systems and methods for reducing electrostatic platform noise in electric-field sensors due to various self-charging and discharging processes are provided. A representative method includes: identifying avoidance regions of an electrostatically-floating sensor platform that have a propensity for self-induced charging and discharging; locating a first electrode and a second electrode on the electrostatically-floating sensor platform, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are positioned and dimensioned to receive substantially equal amounts of distributed charge via self-charging; and obtaining a differential signal from these two electrodes that is proportional to an external ambient E-field of interest, while at the same time nulling out the common-mode signal that results from sensor platform self-charging and/or discharging.

摘要： An electronic switch for triggering firing of munitions, the switch inclug an electrical circuit having a high voltage source, a sealed two electrode gap in communication with the high voltage source, a microgap in series with the sealed gap, an exploding foil initiator in communication with the microgap, and an energy storage capacitor bridging legs of the circuit between the high voltage source and the sealed gap. A trigger circuit is in communication with the high voltage source and a fire pulse generator, and is provided with a lead extending from the trigger circuit to one of said legs of said circuit between said sealed gap and said microgap. The energy storage capacitor is charged by the high voltage source to a voltage V which is substantially across the sealed gap. A pulse from the fire pulse generator activates the trigger circuit to provide a high voltage potential V.sub.t across the sealed gap, such that voltage V+V.sub.t breaks down the sealed gap to permit conduction therethrough. The microgap is thereby made subject to the pulse high voltage V.sub.t and the conduction under voltage V through the sealed gap, breaking down the microgap to permit flow of current to the exploding foil initiator.
