Detection Of Kr-85 Gamma Rays For Positive Verification Of Mass In Pressurized Bottles
US Patent:
2011028, Nov 24, 2011
Filed:
May 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/783352
Inventors:
DELMAR L. BARKER - Tucson AZ, US
Richard J. Wright - Tucson AZ, US
Richard J. Wright - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G21H 5/02, G01T 1/00
US Classification:
250303, 2503361
Abstract:
A Kr-85 tracer gas is mixed with the carrier gas in a pressurized bottle. External detection of the gamma rays that penetrate through the walls of the bottle provides a non-invasive technique for the positive verification of mass inside the bottle over the lifetime of the bottle
Orbital Debris Mitigation System And Method
US Patent:
8567725, Oct 29, 2013
Filed:
Sep 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/883217
Inventors:
Richard J. Wright - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
B64G 1/52
US Classification:
2441717, 2441726, 2441581
Abstract:
Fiber-based debris interceptors are used to intercept and/or contain space debris. The debris interceptors may be made up of fibers that are formed in space from a material supply on a space vehicle. The fibers for the debris interceptors may be formed by extrusion, with a heat source, such as a mirror to focus sunlight, used to heat the material of the material supply that is carried on the space vehicle. The debris interceptor may be separated from the space vehicle, and used to remove debris from an orbit, or otherwise prevent debris entering an orbit from damaging a satellite or other spacecraft that travels in that orbit. The debris interceptor may be deployed prior to later launch of a valuable spacecraft, in order to “cleanse” the intended orbit of debris. Debris objects may pass through the debris interceptor, but in so doing may lose energy so as to de-orbit.
Guided Munitions Including Self-Deploying Dome Covers And Methods For Equipping Guided Munitions With The Same

International Classification:
F41G 7/22, H01Q 1/42, F41G 7/00, H01Q 1/00
US Classification:
244 316, 244 31, 244 315, 244 319, 343872
Abstract:
Embodiments of a guided munition are provided, as are embodiments of a method for equipping a guided munition with a self-deploying dome cover. In one embodiment, the guided munition includes a munition body, a seeker dome coupled to the munition body, and a self-deploying dome cover disposed over the seeker dome. The self-deploying dome cover is configured to deploy and expose the seeker dome during munition flight in response to aerodynamic forces acting on the self-deploying dome cover.
Guided Munition Systems Including Combustive Dome Covers And Methods For Equipping Guided Munitions With The Same
US Patent:
8445823, May 21, 2013
Filed:
Nov 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/917705

Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
F41G 7/22, H01Q 1/42, F41G 7/00, H01Q 1/00
US Classification:
244 316, 244 31, 244 315, 244 319, 343872
Abstract:
Embodiments of a guided munition system are provided, as are embodiments of a combustive dome cover and methods for equipping a guided munition with a combustive dome cover. In one embodiment, the guided munition system includes a guided munition, which has a munition body and a seeker dome coupled thereto, and a combustive dome cover disposed over the seeker dome. The combustive dome cover is configured to uncover the seeker dome at a predetermined time of deployment and to combust when so deployed to minimize the production of debris.
