Pneumatic Projectile Launcher And Sonobuoy Launcher Adaptor
US Patent:
7278416, Oct 9, 2007
Filed:
Dec 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/311941
Inventors:
Jon F. Larcheveque - Owego NY, US
Jan M. Nielsen - Glen Aubrey NY, US
Jan M. Nielsen - Glen Aubrey NY, US
Assignee:
Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
F41B 11/06
US Classification:
124 72, 89 151
Abstract:
A pneumatic sonobuoy launcher adapted for simultaneously storing, and sequentially and independently launching, at least two sonobuoys includes a barrel with a closed back end, an expulsion end opposite the back end and an interior sonobuoy-guiding channel extending between the opposed ends. The channel is adapted for storing a series of sonobuoys including rearwardmost and forwardmost sonobuoys stored, respectively, closest to the back end of the barrel and closest to the expulsion end of the barrel. Each stored sonobuoy occupies a distinct region of the channel separated by an interval from at least one other region. An expulsion-gas delivery system includes at least one valve that is selectively connectable into fluid communication with an expulsion-gas supply and is pneumatically switchable from at least (i) a first gas-channeling state in which expulsion gas introduced through the valve is directed to a first interval between sonobuoys to (ii) a second gas-channeling state in which expulsion gas introduced into the valve is directed to at least one of (a) a second interval located to the rear of the first interval and (b) a location within the channel behind the rearwardmost sonobuoy. A feedback conduit communicates pneumatic back pressure created upon the expulsion of a sonobuoy to the switchable valve in order to switch the valve from the first gas-channeling state to the second gas-channeling state for the launch of a subsequent sonobuoy.
Apparatus Facilitating Use Of Cots Electronics In Harsh Environments
US Patent:
6330152, Dec 11, 2001
Filed:
Jun 8, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/590209
Inventors:
David L. Vos - Apalachin NY
Ronald J. Feduke - Endwell NY
Robert L. Jennings - Endwell NY
Jan M. Nielsen - Glen Aubrey NY
Ronald J. Feduke - Endwell NY
Robert L. Jennings - Endwell NY
Jan M. Nielsen - Glen Aubrey NY
International Classification:
H05K 720, H05B 310
US Classification:
361688
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for permitting commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics to be utilized in harsh environments for which the COTS electronics are not designed, including environments having ambient temperature variations, ambient pressure variations, shock and vibration exposure, environmental contaminants and/or electromagnetic radiation which may be beyond the design specification of the COTS components. The device includes a sealed enclosure having racks or other suitable mounts for the COTS components and having an environmental controlled unit (ECU) which circulates a fluid such as air through the enclosure and through the mounts. The temperature in the enclosure is monitored and the ECU operated to heat or cool fluid passing therethrough to maintain temperature in the enclosure within the design limits of the COTS electronics. A flow channel for ambient fluid, which channel is sealed from the internally circulating fluid, may be provided for removing heat from a cooling unit of the ECU. The enclosure may also have shock mounts, thermal insulation and appropriate shielding to deal with other environmental concerns.
