A firearms cartridge is provided which is equipped with a signal receiver. The signal receiver is operable to disable the firearm when it received a predetermined signal, such as a signal on the electromagnetic spectrum, acoustic signal, and the like. When the signal is not present, the firearm cartridge works like a traditional unrestricted firearm cartridge allowing a firing of the weapon.

US12320626 - Gel stemming delivery system

A delivery system for mixing and dispensing a gel stemming material into a blast hole is disclosed. The system includes a dual-pump assembly in fluid communication with respective sources of a first gel precursor fluid and a second gel precursor fluid; a pair of hoses associated with a means to vary an effective length of said hoses; a dosing head having a first inlet and a second inlet, said inlets arranged in respective fluid communication via said hoses with the dual pump assembly to receive the first and second gel precursor fluids, the dosing head being configured to receive and mix the first and second gel precursor fluids to produce the gel stemming material and to dispense the gel stemming material via an outlet. In use, the effective length of the hoses may be varied to position the dosing head and dispense the gel stemming material in the blast hole.

US12320889 - Scalable networked active protection (SNAP)

A new kind of active protection system (APS) called SNAP (scalable networked active protection) will be a light and affordable means of protecting vehicles and infrastructure against rockets and missiles. The APS system is built from modules, each of which is itself a stand-alone APS. Since each unit is a stand-alone APS, the only single points of failure are the User Interface (UI) in the vehicle cab and the Data/Power Router (DPR). SNAP instead takes advantage of each module protecting a relatively small area to employ vastly lower cost components. In addition, each SNAP module is disposable in that when its countermunition is initiated, the entire module is consumed and subsequently replaced in the field. This approach allows the system to be very compact and lightweight.

US12311390 - Smoke generator with deflector

A smoke generator for anti-burglar purposes includes a canister holding means for holding a canister for chemicals to be used to generate smoke wherein the smoke generator further includes a smoke deflector arranged below the position of the canister for even distribution of generated smoke, and wherein the smoke deflector have a smoke deflector cavity of sector shape. The smoke generator is provided with a cartridge for the canister to ease replacement of used or expired canister. The smoke deflector is provided with a residual collector to prevent residuals and debris from littering the room where the smoke generator is used.

US12311754 - Power export system for a military vehicle

A military vehicle including a chassis, a cab mounted to the chassis and defining a rear wall, an engine mounted to the chassis, a transfer case coupled to the engine and including a driven output providing mechanical power to the military vehicle and a generator output, and an electric machine positioned rearward of the rear wall of the cab and coupled to the generator output of the transfer case and generating electrical power.
