    摘要: Embodiments are directed toward a monopropellant continuous detonation engine. In some embodiments, the continuous detonation engine includes an engine body, a monopropellant feed assembly, and a detonation initiator. The engine body defines a detonation wave channel. The monopropellant feed assembly delivers monopropellant from a monopropellant storage tank into the detonation wave channel. The detonation initiator initiates continuous detonation of the monopropellant in the detonation wave channel, preferably without a catalyst to promote decomposition of the monopropellant. Accordingly, specific impulse is increased compared to constant-pressure reaction thrusters that catalytically decompose the monopropellant with deflagration combustion.

    摘要: A handheld surgical device with a working portion driven by a motor, wherein the working portion is contained in a concave-shaped portion when it is not activated, and the working portion becomes exposed from the concave-shaped portion when it is activated. The activation of the working portion can be controlled by a switch located at a handle portion of the handheld surgical device. The handheld surgical device includes a concave-shaped portion with a cutting edge, which is not driven by the motor.

    摘要: A gunsight reticle defines a system of dimensioned indicia spaced at specific separations to improve aiming accuracy of a gun. The indicia may include perpendicularly intersecting center vertical and center horizontal hairlines, and four (or more or less) horizontal range-marker lines disposed at specific angular separations below the horizontal hairline in bisected relationship with the center vertical hairline. Spacing of the range marker lines below the center horizontal hairline is proportional to bullet drop at selected ranges, depending upon ballistic characteristics of bullet used. Relative lengths of said range-marker bars on each side of the central vertical crosshair are proportional to a specific crosswind (say 10 mph) at target range reflected by respective range marker. The method involves employing this reticle to determine distance to target, and using distance thus determined to ascertain a precise aiming point on the reticle. These indicia also have other useful characteristics that allow the shooter to easily mentally calculate corrections for crosswind, moving targets and shooting at targets that are above or below the shooter at a significant angle.

    摘要: A storage receptacle-bundler assembly for newspapers and the like is made from a flat blank provided with crease lines to be formed at the point of use into the required shape including a box-like receptacle portion with an open top and opposed openings in opposed side sections together with a base portion with support surfaces at opposed positions relative to the side openings lying in a plane above the lower edge forming the side access openings to provide a throughspace for passing a tie line under a collection of newspapers supported on the support surface in the receptacle portion and then up along the top thereof to be tied into a bundle. The flat blank is preferably made of paperboard or a like lightweight, imperforate, disposable material and the receptacle and base portions are made from a single flat blank or separate flat blanks which fit together to form the complete assembly. A line cutting blade and roller support for the tie line is carried by the assembly in a convenient location.
