| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20130111734 | Method of attaching a blast shield to a space frame vehicle A method to attach a V-shaped or parabolic-shaped blast shield or other blast shields, to the bottom of a vehicle space frame that serves the purpose of redirecting the blast forces away from the crew compartment of the vehicle. Inner beams that run the length or width ... | 05/09/2013 |
| 20120255428 | V-shaped blast shield for protection against IEDs An armor blast shield for use on the bottom of a vehicle to protect occupants of the vehicle from improvised explosive devices. A preferred embodiment is configured in a V-shaped configuration formed by at least two planar blast resistant panels and an I-beam having cha... | 10/11/2012 |
| 20120190530 | Dense Silicon Nitride Body Having High Strength, High Weibull Modulus and high fracture toughness Silicon nitride materials with high strength, fracture toughness values, and Weibull moduli simultaneously, due to unique large grain reinforcing microstructures and well engineered grain boundary compositions. The invention demonstrates that, surprisingly and contrary ... | 07/26/2012 |
| 20100130344 | High resistivity SiC material with B, N and O as the only additions A dense silicon carbide (SiC) material with boron (B), nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) as the only additives and with excellent insulting performance (electrical volume resistivity greater than 1×108 Ω.cm). The SiC ceramic material, made from a powder mix of, b... | 05/27/2010 |
| 20090044695 | Spring assisted articulating window armor system In the spring assisted articulating window armor system invention, lightweight opaque armor is stored in the down position when not needed. When the armor is needed, a locking pin is released and two air cylinders or gas springs move the armor into the protected positio... | 02/19/2009 |
| 20090044694 | Adjustable louvered armor window system The adjustable louvered armor window system invention comprises angled louvers made of the lightweight opaque armor. For the front window a viewing window of ballistic glass can be installed, the rear or sides could be solid armor. The louvers have overlaps to provide f... | 02/19/2009 |
| 20090029843 | High-volume, fully dense silicon nitride monolith and method of making by simultaneously joing and hot pressing a plurality of RBSN parts High-volume, fully dense, multi-component monoliths with microstructurally indistinguishable joints that can be used as refractory, corrosion and wear resistant components in the non-ferrous metal industry. The Si3N4 monoliths according to the inve... | 01/29/2009 |
| 20070089700 | Castable ceramic port liner Fused silica exhaust port liners for internal combustion engines are cast into engine head metals such as gray iron by employing compliant insulating layers to protect the liner against high casting temperatures and subsequently dampen engine vibrations that could other... | 04/26/2007 |
| 20070010391 | Lightweight boron carbide materials with improved mechanical properties and process for their manufacture This disclosure describes sintered bodies comprising about 90 wt % to about 99 wt % of boron carbide, wherein the B:C atomic ratio ranges from 3.8 to 4.5:1; 0 to 1 wt % free carbon; 0 to 1 wt % BN or AlN, remainder an oxide binder phase; said sintered body having a unif... | 01/11/2007 |
