Did You Know...
...that Robert Adler has the dubious distinction of being the Father of the Couch Potato? Back in 1955 Adler was employed by what was then Zenith Radio Corp., where he was charged to invent something that would allow viewers to turn down the TV volume without leaving their chairs. After a series of flops (such as a wired contraption that people tripped over), Adler hit on the idea of using sound waves. Thus the Remote Control was born...

| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6558488 | Method of making pourable plastic-bound explosive charges or rocket propellant The invention relates to a method of making pourable, plastic-bound explosive charges or rocket propellants, to which a metal powder having essentially spherically shaped grains is added. To avoid an increase in the viscosity of the explosive charge or the roc... | 05/06/2003 |
| 5993578 | Method of drying pyrotechnic compositions Disclosed is an improved method of drying a slurry of adhesive particles and counter-solvent such as a slurry of pyrotechnic particles and counter-solvent produced by the precipitation method, wherein the counter-solvent is evaporated from the slurry for ... | 11/30/1999 |
| 5398612 | Nitrate ester stabilizing layer for propellant grain Compositions and methods for increasing the storage life of a propellant grain by reducing the rate of decomposition of its nitrate ester components. A nitrate ester stabilizer is placed in a layer adjacent to a nonburning surface of the propellant grain.... | 03/21/1995 |
| 5266242 | Method and apparatus to prepare a tribasic propellat charge powder The invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for producing tribasic propellant charge powders. An operationally safe and continuous course of the production process is obtained according to the invention by first preparing a fully gelatinized dib... | 11/30/1993 |
| 5000803 | Freeze blending of reactive liquids and solids Chemically reactive liquids such as catalyzed monomers and prepolymers are mixed with finely divided solids to form a homogeneous blend by chilling the liquid to a temperature below its solidification point, forming it into finely divided solidly frozen p... | 03/19/1991 |
