Abstract: A discriminating deceleration sensing electrical switch assembly (20) is enclosed within a munitions projectile (10) for providing an electrical circuit path between a pair of electrical contacts (212, 213) upon deceleration of the projectile being greater than a selected deceleration threshold value. The discriminating deceleration electrical switch assembly includes a switch support (30) having a bore hole (32) for holding a sperical mass or ball (40). A tactile dome switch or snap switch (100) is juxtaposed between an electrical contact assembly (200), including a pair of electrically conductive surface regions (212, 216), and the spherical mass(40). The components are arranged along the munitions firing axis (15) such that, upon sufficient deceleration along the firing axis, a force acting on the spherical mass causes the dome switch to deform and contact the conductive surface regions to provide switch closure. Electrical wiring (43, 45) leading from the electrically conductive surface regions is intended to be electriclly connected to a detonation control circuit so as to initiate detonation of the munitions. The switch may also be configured as an acceleration switch without the spherical mass and, alternatively, as a combination acceleration/deceleration switch.

Title: Easy-open composite container with a membrane-type closure
Inventor: DRUMMOND MICHAEL T
IPC: B65D77/20
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: An easy-open composite container has a membrane-type closure and includes a laminated tubular body member of composite materials having a predetermined laminated strength. The body member includes a bodywall portion and a liner portion positioned inside the bodywall portion and forming an inside surface of the body member. An outwardly-rolled rim portion is formed at the upper area of an open upper end of the tubular body member and the liner portion forms a top surface of the body member open upper end and an outside surface of the outwardly rolled rim portion. A cut extends circumferentially around a segment of the outside surface of the rim portion and extends radially-inwardly through at least a part of the liner portion. A membrane closure covers the open upper end of the body member and has an outwardly extending tab portion positioned over the cut in the rim portion of the body member. A bond is formed between the top surface of the body member open upper end and the membrane member for hermetically closing such open upper end. This bond has a predetermined strength greater than the laminated strength of the tubular body member and sufficient to prevent leakage caused by internal pressure within the container. With the above construction, the composite container can be easily opened by pulling the pull tab portion of the membrane closure member which causes radial delamination of a segment of the body member rim portion at the cut in the rim portion to provide an easy start for removing the membrane member with the delaminated rim portion segment from the remainder of the body member rim portion of the container.

Abstract: The Social Bridges board game invention is a social skills training based on learning characteristics and capabilities of individuals with Multi-System Disorders:  Autism/Pervasive Developmental Disorders (P.D.D.), to help develop their socio-behavioural, communication and cognitive skills. Studies have shown that although there were certain improvements seen in high functioning autistic children who were followed-up as autistic adolescents and adults, symptoms such as social oddity and excess behaviours still persist. The unique learning characteristics of individuals with Autism/P.D.D. and the combination of some of effective key intervention elements of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA), Gentle Teaching (GT), Simultaneous Communication (SC) and Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) serve as the foundation of the teachings of the Social Bridges board game invention. This invention concurrently applies the principles of Behaviour Modification approach of the ABA, the Three Interactional Process of the GT, Direct Teaching of the TEACCH  and the Combined use of Gesture and Speech of the SC in carrying out the social skills training through the Social Bridges board game. The fundamental fun elements and simple structural procedures of the Social Bridges board game invention lend itself in the effective implementation of the developmentally and age-appropriate three-level social skills training (basic, intermediate and advanced levels) with underpinning focus on communication and cognitive skills development. The Social Bridges board game enables individuals with mufti-system disorders to have fun and maintain their motivation while learning their targeted skills. These skills are achieved through a structured procedure for a turn-taking game of social skills with a question/answer format. Cues and prompts are afforded to each player (when needed), to ensure that all participants are winners and given rewards as a positive reinforcement. Research-based instructional strategies such as direct teaching and reciprocal teaching are informally incorporated throughout the game to help ensure that individuals with multi-system disorders achieve their optimum level of functioning.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for treating the heavy hydrogen isotope content of the contaminated water by contacting the contamined water with a molecular separation material (28) including a support medium carrying a plurality of hydration sites having associated waters of hydration, whereby a portion of the waters of hydration are replaced with heavy hydrogen isotope water molecules from the contaminated water. The hydrogen isotope water molecule content of the contaminated water is thus decreased. The molecular separation material (28) is preferably a polymer, such as a polystyrene/divinyl benzene cross-linked polymer, having hydration sites with associated waters of hydration. Preferred hydration sites are obtained by reacting the polymer which has been sulfonated or phosphonated to create reactive sites, with a salt of, for example, aluminum, sodium, magnesium, copper, zinc, cobalt, iron, nickel, manganese, potassium and chromium. Before or during contact with the molecular separation material (28), the contaminated water may be brought into contact with a separation membrane (12) selectively permeable to light water molecules relative to hydrogen isotope water molecules, to remove light water molecules from the water, thereby increasing the concentration of said hydrogen isotope molecules.
