Abstract: In using a plastic explosive composition (PEC), the ignitor, in spite of initially closed stoppers (12), can be inserted very easily and precisely in the PEC. When the PEC is combined with a booster, safe and central placing of the ignitor in the sleeve (11) is ensured, and the PEC, because of the stoppers on both sides, can be safely and densely packed.  The PEC contains (wt.%): pentaerythritol tetranitrate and/or hexogen and/or octogen as high explosive material (50-80), dibutyl phthalate and/or diamyl phthalate as plastifying agent (15-30), nitrocellulose (0.5-3), inorganic nitrates, e.g. sodium (Na) and/or potassium (K) nitrate (up to 10), and small amounts of impurities, colorants and inert materials.  Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a process for preparation of the PEC having the above properties involving making a mixture containing (wt.%) dibutyl phthalate and/or diamyl phthalate as plasticizer (15-30) and nitrocellulose (0.5-3) to form a gelatin, to which are added pentaerythritol tetranitrate (nitropenta) and/or hexogen and/or octogen as high explosive materials (50-80), inorganic nitrates (up to 10) and small amounts of colorant and inert materials, until a homogeneous composition is obtained; (2) a booster for the explosive material, especially for the borehole loading tube, a small caliber priming, and a boosting charge for tunnel construction, with a tubular sleeve (11) with plastics stoppers (12) at both end sections, of which at least one can be penetrated by the ignitor for the explosive in the sleeve (11), where the sleeve stoppers (12) are strongly and tightly closed, and at least one stopper has a central opening (19) for an ignitor, so that the ignitor is enclosed centrally, and can be arrested.

Abstract: A polymer composite composed of a polymerized mixture of functionalized carbon nanotubes and monomer which chemically reacts with the functionalized nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are functionalized by reacting with oxidizing or other chemical media through chemical reactions or physical adsorption. The reacted surface carbons of the nanotubes are further functionalized with chemical moieties that react with the surface carbons and selected monomers. The functionalized nanotubes are first dispersed in an appropriate medium such as water, alcohol or a liquefied monomer and then the mixture is polymerized. The polymerization results in polymer chains of increasing weight bound to the surface carbons of the nanotubes. The composite may consists of some polymer chains imbedded in the composite without attachment to the nanotubes. The resulting composite yields superior chemical, physical and electrical properties over polymer composites that are only physically mixed and without binding to the surface carbons of the nanotubes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for melting metals uses microwave energy as the primary source of heat. The metal or mixture of metals are placed in a ceramic crucible which couples, at least partially, with the microwaves to be used. The crucible is encased in a ceramic casket for insulation and placed within a microwave chamber. The chamber may be evacuated and refilled to exclude oxygen. After melting, the crucible may be removed for pouring or poured within the chamber by dripping or running into a heated mold within the chamber. Apparent coupling of the microwaves with softened or molten metal produces high temperatures with great energy savings.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides an induction chamber used to sedate one or more living specimens. The induction chamber comprises at least one gas inlet through which anesthesia gas and oxygen are supplied. To minimize escape of anesthetizing gas is into the ambient room or surroundings, the induction chamber includes a gas outlet or port that draws anesthesia gas. The induction chamber also comprises a device that obstructs gas flow through the gas outlet based on the position of the door. In one chamber design, when the door closes, the gas outlet is blocked. Thus, opening the door to the induction chamber causes anesthesia gas is to be drawn through the outlet while closing the door allows anesthesia gas to collect in the chamber and sedate any specimens located therein.
