An electronic system for providing a safe/arm signal. A number of digital accelerometers are located in various parts of a moving body such as an artillery shell when the shell is fired, accelerometers measure acceleration in the setback acceleration the acceleration in the direction of travel. Other accelerometers measure spin acceleration. When predetermined levels of both setback and spin accelerations have been present for predetermined times, a safe/arm signal is provided by logic circuitry.

An electric detonator system is disclosed which includes a primer-oscillating slide for closing one portion of a detonator circuit, and an impact switch for closing another portion of the detonator circuit. The slide is shiftable from a safety position to a primed (circuit-closing) position. The impact switch is shiftable from a circuit-open position to a circuit-closed position in response to impact of an associated projectile. The slide, when in its safety position, is operable to lock the impact switch in the latter''s circuit-open position. Upon being shifted to its primed position, the slide permits movement of the impact switch to the latter''s circuit-closed position. The various elements of the detonator system are compactly arranged to define a structure which may be conveniently inserted as a unit within a detonator housing.

FISHER E |
An electric bomb charging device self-contained within the bomb requiring no external charging gear. The device is placed within a charging well located along the longitudinal surface of the bomb and is adapted so as to receive the slipstream of air flowing along the bomb''s surface after it is released from the aircraft. The charging device transforms the air slipstream into the electrical energy necessary to operate a proximity sensor and electric fuze located within the bomb. The device is provided with a protective cover that is removed by a lanyard only upon the bomb''s release, and a minimum threshold velocity must be attained before the charging device is actuated. In a first embodiment form, the device is comprised of a modified fluidic generator, while in a second embodiment it takes the form an anemometer-type vane coupled with an electric alternator. Both embodiments employ electronic circuits to regulate the output voltages derived therefrom.

1. A contact fuzing system for use in ordnance which will operate at first contact with a target and does not depend upon deformation or deceleration of the weapon carrying the fuzing system for activation comprising: A. A GUIDED MISSILE HAVING FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTING AREAS BEING SEPARATED BY A DIELECTRIC MATERIAL THEREBY FORMING TWO PLATES OF A CAPACITOR, B. AN ELECTRIC POWER SOURCE CONNECTED ACROSS SAID FIRST AND SECOND CONDUCTING AREAS FOR CHARGING SAID AREAS TO A POTENTIAL INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS, C. A LOAD RESISTOR CONNECTED IN SERIES WITH SAID POWER SOURCE AND SAID CONDUCTING AREAS FOR PRODUCING AN OUTPUT SIGNAL VOLTAGE WHEN ONE OF SAID CONDUCTING AREAS IS DISCHARGED BY CONTACTING A TARGET, D. FULL-WAVE RECTIFYING CIRCUIT MEANS CONNECTED ACROSS SAID LOAD RESISTOR FOR PRODUCING A CONSTANT POLARITY OUTPUT SIGNAL WHEN EITHER OF SAID CONDUCTING AREAS IS DISCHARGED.

BILLOT JEAN |
This invention relates to a safe-starting device for a detachable missile fed with current from a source situated on board a vehicle carrying the missile, by means of a cable connected to a removable terminal. In the actual missile housing between a starting mechanism and a current input fed by said cable, there is a provided a time-delay relay in which the electric current emanating from the carrier vehicle is converted into mechanical energy which actuates a transducer capable of supplying an electric current intended to be used directly or to ensure control of the starting mechanism. This device increases the safety of using detachable missiles while at the same time enabling the length of the feed cable to be reduced.

HELD MANFRED |
An ignition system, for the simultaneous ignition of several charges arranged in different cross-sectional planes of an elongated warhead and extending perpendicular to the longitudinal center line of the warhead, includes a rod displaceable along the longitudinal center line, relative to the cross-sectional planes, and having two possible positions spaced longitudinally from each other. The rod has, at locations therealong, and in crosssectional planes corresponding to the cross-sectional planes of the warheads, devices operable to ignite the charges. The corresponding cross-sectional planes of the warhead and the rod coincide in one of the two possible positions of the head. These two positions can be termed, respectively, the ''''ignition locked'''' position and the ''''ignition released'''' position.

Disclosed is a count comparison circuit for use in artillary fuze timers and the like. The comparison circuit comprises a counting register and a storage register. The complement of the number to be detected is stored in the storage register. OR gates are coupled to the corresponding stages of the registers and when the count is reached the OR gates activate and AND gate to produce an electrical output.

LEIBER CARL-OTTO; HEIMKE GUNTHER |
A magnetic electric switch element particularly appropriate as a component for projectile fuzes or similar uses. A switch element having a magnetic field has a contact bridge serving as a switching relay inserted therein which can be loaded through pressure or when under pressure it can be unloaded, made of a metal alloy with a Curie temperature which varies through pressure and when applying a certain pressure it lowers the Curie temperature from ferromagnetic into a paramagnetic condition and inversely when decreasing the pressure while increasing the Curie temperature it changes from a paramagnetic condition into ferromagnetic.
