Spray-formed, anti-burst, leak-self-sealing coating structure applicable to the outside surface of a fuel container, and an associated application methodology. In an operative condition relative to such a surface, the coating structure includes (a) a solid, continuous-phase body of fuel-reactive, high-elastomeric material in the form of an expanse having an inner side applied to such a surface, and a spaced, outer side, (b) a field of distributed, fuel-reactive, fuel-imbiber beads embedded in and throughout the expanse of said body, generally spaced from, and centrally between, the body's inner and outer sides, but exposed to neither such side, and (c) an anti-burst fabric web having meshes formed by elongate, stretch-resistant fibers extending generally centrally within and throughout bead field. Meshes in the fabric web, and beads in the bead field, are relatively sized appropriately to permit the ready mesh-through-passage of beads during spray-formation of the coating structure. |

A method of preventing initiation of an explosive device. The method comprises substantially encasing an explosive device with a conductive foam. The explosive device is configured to be initiated by an electromagnetic radiation signal, such as that emitted by a transmitter of a wireless door bell device. Deactivated explosive devices are also disclosed. |

A system for logging authorized detonator usage of identifiable detonators, after removal of the detonators from a controlled store, in which the system includes an inventory control for maintaining an inventory of detonators at the controlled store, and also data concerning authorized removal of detonators from the store for use on site as part of a controlled blasting sequence; and a fire control station which monitors and logs the destruction of each detonator after transmission of a fire signal to each detonator, and transmits detonator destruction data to the inventory control. |

Blasting apparatuses and methods control actuation of a plurality of detonators, and involve the use of one or more authorization keys each associated with a blasting machine. The authorization key(s) are transferable from the blasting machine(s) to a central command station, each authorization key storing a data package comprising a randomly generated access code generated by its corresponding blasting machine. Transfer of the one or more authorization keys to a central command station allows the data packages (and associated randomly generated access codes) to be transmitted by the central command station for receipt by the blasting machine(s). |

The present invention is directed to a method for selecting pressure wave suppression devices from among a menu of pressure wave suppression devices to satisfy the pressure wave requirements of a given job or application. The present invention is further directed to pressure wave suppression devices that can be used in the hole, at or near the opening of the hole, or at a distance from the hole to perform pressure wave and/or flyrock protection. The invention is particularly useful in suppressing airblast and other excavation equipment noise in urban areas. |

Microspheres spacially suspended in a liquid, not normally considered an explosive, cause a propagating detonation in the liquid, and the liquid is reversed to non-explosive configuration by removal of the microspheres. The microspheres are prepositioned in a predetermined quantity in a porous suspending medium, the quantity being sufficient to cause an overdrive of velocity of chemical reaction to detonate the liquid. The suspending medium with the microspheres may be inserted or withdrawn as desired from the liquid, whereby the liquid with the included medium and microspheres will detonate and the liquid without the medium and microspheres will not detonate.

An explosive system for fracturing an underground geologic formation adjacent to a wellbore can comprise a plurality of explosive units comprising an explosive material contained within the casing, and detonation control modules electrically coupled to the plurality of explosive units and configured to cause a power pulse to be transmitted to at least one detonator of at least one of the plurality of explosive units for detonation of the explosive material. The explosive units are configured to be positioned within a wellbore in spaced apart positions relative to one another along a string with the detonation control modules positioned adjacent to the plurality of explosive units in the wellbore, such that the axial positions of the explosive units relative to the wellbore are at least partially based on geologic properties of the geologic formation adjacent the wellbore. |

Detonation control modules and detonation control circuits are provided herein. A trigger input signal can cause a detonation control module to trigger a detonator. A detonation control module can include a timing circuit, a light-producing diode such as a laser diode, an optically triggered diode, and a high-voltage capacitor. The trigger input signal can activate the timing circuit. The timing circuit can control activation of the light-producing diode. Activation of the light-producing diode illuminates and activates the optically triggered diode. The optically triggered diode can be coupled between the high-voltage capacitor and the detonator. Activation of the optically triggered diode causes a power pulse to be released from the high-voltage capacitor that triggers the detonator. |
