Abstract: A process for the hydrogenolysis of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexabenzyl-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazatetracyclo [5.5.0.0 .0 ]dodecane ("HBIW") is disclosed in which a quantity of HBIW, cosolvent and a bromine source are placed into a reaction vessel. Acetic anhydride and a substantially water-free palladium catalyst are then rapidly added. The reaction vessel is purged of an atmosphere capable of reacting with hydrogen, and hydrogen is quickly introduced to convert the HBIW to tetraacetyl-dibenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane ("TADB"). The acetic anhydride is added immediately prior to hydrogen introduction so that it does not have time to react with the HBIW to form an acetylated derivative prior to commencement of the desired hydrogenation reaction. The process requires very little palladium catalyst, preferably less than 10 % wt./wt. based on the HBIW substrate. The TADB, precipitated on the palladium hydrogenation catalyst, is subjected to a second hydrogenation step using formic acid solvent in the presence of hydrogen to form tetraacetyldiformylhexaazaisowurtzitane ("TADF").

Abstract: A pressure vessel and process for manufacturing the pressure vessel. In one embodiment, the invention includes a case (10) for a rocket motor which includes a cylindrical, metal shell (12) which has been configured with a plurality of slots (20) positioned in axially extending rows. A fiber reinforced plastic layer (14) is attached to the metal shell. Each slot has a length (L) and is separated by adjacent slots in the same row by an axial distance (A) with adjacent rows of slots separated by a circumferential distance (C) and configured such that L + A >/= 6C and L >/= 4A. The method of the invention comprises using a carbon dioxide laser to cut a keyhole in the shell and then cutting axially outwardly from the keyhole to form the slot, resulting in slots having a width equal to the cutting width of the laser. The beam is then defocused and used to heat a portion of the metal shell surrounding the ends of each slot to produce a tempered zone.

Abstract: A system for inflating and deflating an air bag (140) within a vehicle without substantially exposing the occupants of the vehicle to toxic compounds, particulates, and other contaminants. The system includes a flow guide (114) having an exterior port (117) in communication with ambient air outside the vehicle, an air bag port (120) connected to the air bag (140), and an internal bore (122) permitting fluid flow between the exterior port (117) and the air bag (140). A nozzle (124) disposed within the flow guide bore (122) is secured to an inflator (126). Gas is expelled from the inflator (126) through the nozzle (124) at a velocity sufficient to entrain ambient air from outside the vehicle. The entrained ambient air mixes with the gas expelled through the nozzle (124), and the mixture inflates the air bag (140). The air bag (140) is deflated by moving the mixture out of the air bag (140) and through the flow guide bore (122) for disposition amidst ambient air outside the vehicle.

Abstract: A process for removing perchlorate ions from waste water using KCl is disclosed. In the process, waste perchlorate is concentrated by water evaporation in a stripping tower. Ammonia and volatile organics are removed during the concentrating step. Potassium chloride (KCl) is added to the concentrated perchlorate solution to form potassium perchlorate (KClO4), and the reaction mixture is cooled to effect crystallization of the potassium perchlorate. The crystallization liquor is removed by centrifuge or filter press and may be further treated as part of an overall waste water treatment system.

Abstract: Conductive carbon fibrils are incorporated into energetic compositions to enhance the burn rate. The carbon fibrils are grown catalytically from carbon precursors and are substantially free of pyrolytically deposited thermal carbon. The fibrils generally have a length in the range from about 1 mu to about 10 mu and a diameter in the range from about 3.5 nanometers to about 75 nanometers. Length to diameter aspect ratios are greater than 5, and typically in the range from about 100:1 to about 1000:1. A 100 % improvement in burn rate was observed in compositions containing as little as 0.1 weight percent carbon fibrils. Greater amounts of carbon fibrils (2 weight percent) have increased the burn rate 500 %. In most cases, fibril concentration will be in the range from about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent, although greater amounts are possible. The burn rate may be effectively tailored by varying the amount of fibrils added to the composition.

Abstract: A control system (10) for use in missiles and other projectiles which provides pitch, yaw and roll control. The control system (10) includes two opposing pairs (14 and 16, 18 and 20) of flaps configured in the aft end of the missile case. Each flap is attached for rotation about its leading edge (24). Prior to actuation, the flaps conform to the exterior surface of the missile. Upon actuation, the flaps extend into the airstream to induce aerodynamic forces. The axis of rotation of each flap is positioned at an oblique angle to the radial plane of the missile.
