Abstract

A system that provides control of the output shockwave properties of energetic material wherein the system includes an energetic material having a first portion and a second portion. An additive manufacturing system combines the first portion and the second portion of the energetic material wherein the first portion and the second portion are positioned relative to each other to provide control of the output shockwave properties of the energetic material.

Fail safe controllable output improved version of the Electromechanical battery

Patent Post, Richard F [Walnut Creek, CA]

Mechanical means are provided to control the voltages induced in the windings of a generator/motor. In one embodiment, a lever is used to withdraw or insert the entire stator windings from the cavity where the rotating field exists. In another embodiment, voltage control and/or switching off of the output is achievable with a variable-coupling generator/motor. A stator is made up of two concentric layers of windings, with a larger number of turns on the inner layer of windings than the outer layer of windings. The windings are to be connected in series electrically, that is, their voltages add vectorially. Themore »« less

Method of varying a characteristic of an optical vertical cavity structure formed by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy

Patent Hou, Hong Q [Albuquerque, NM]; Coltrin, Michael E [Albuquerque, NM]; Choquette, Kent D [Albuquerque, NM]

A process for forming an array of vertical cavity optical resonant structures wherein the structures in the array have different detection or emission wavelengths. The process uses selective area growth (SAG) in conjunction with annular masks of differing dimensions to control the thickness and chemical composition of the materials in the optical cavities in conjunction with a metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) process to build these arrays.

Portable microwave instrument for non-destructive evaluation of structural characteristics

Patent Bible, Don W [Clinton, TN]; Crutcher, Richard I [Knoxville, TN]; Sohns, Carl W [Oak Ridge, TN]; ...

A portable microwave instrument for evaluating characteristics of a structural member includes a source of microwave energy, a transmitter coupled to the source of microwave energy for transmitting a microwave signal at the structural member, and a receiver positioned on the same side of the structural member as the transmitter and being disposed to receive a microwave signal reflected by the structural member. A phase angle difference is determined between the transmitted microwave signal and the received microwave signal using a signal splitter and a balanced mixer. The difference in phase angle varies in accordance with differences in size, shapemore »« less

Frequency shift measurement in shock-compressed materials

Patent Moore, David S [Los Alamos, NM]; Schmidt, Stephen C [Los Alamos, NM]

A method for determining molecular vibrational frequencies in shock-compressed transparent materials. A single laser beam pulse is directed into a sample material while the material is shock-compressed from a direction opposite that of the incident laser beam. A Stokes beam produced by stimulated Raman scattering is emitted back along the path of the incident laser beam, that is, in the opposite direction to that of the incident laser beam. The Stokes beam is separated from the incident beam and its frequency measured. The difference in frequency between the Stokes beam and the incident beam is representative of the characteristic frequencymore »« less
