Inventor: DYE GARY ROBERT
IPC: B65B55/20
Filed: 2007-07-06
Granted: 2009-09-24
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the use of consumable materials in packaging machines is provided. The system generally includes a plurality of packaging machines that are configured to selectively operate in first and second modes to perform different packaging operations, e.g., by using consumable materials at different consumable usage rates to form different packaging devices. A controller in each machine controls the operation of the machine in the different modes and is configured to communicate the consumable usage data via a port. A portable module can be electronically connected to each machine during a connection session to communicate with the controller and receive the consumable usage data. The data from the module is then received by a user interface that provides an indication to a user of the usage of the machines in the first and second modes, e.g., to indicate to the user which machines are being used to form which packaging devices and/or how much of the operation of the machines is being used to form each of the packaging devices.

Title: An explosive charge
Inventor: ALFORD ROLAND
IPC: F41H11/11
Filed: 2007-03-05
Granted: 2012-05-10
Abstract: Container (10) is generally cylindrical except for a longitudinal concave groove (11) extending along its entire length. Upon explosion, the contour of this groove (11) results in a focussing effect on the wall material due to the oblique angle at which the expanding cylindrical detonation wave front impacts upon its inner wall. This produces the forging of a rough rod-like projectile (11) which, being coherent, maintains its velocity and consequently travels much further than the randomly shaped projectiles (10).
