Systems, methods, and devices for transmitting and controlling ignition output of a controller having a power source, a programmable interface, a wireless transmission module, and an ignition output unit are disclosed.

An expendable remote initiator receiver for initiating at least one shock tube connectable to an explosive charge. The receiver includes a shock tube interface that directly interfaces with a shock tube connected to an explosive charge, a spark initiator that initiates a spark at the shock tube interface to initiate the shock tube, a multifunctional shock tube interface adaptor mounted and connected to the shock tube interface, wherein the multifunctional shock tube interface connects the ground of a printed circuit assembly (PCA) to the shock tube needle to allow a spark to occur upon initiation by the spark initiator and also holds the PCA securely. The remote initiator further includes configuring means adapted to allow the receiver to be field bondable such that the receiver can be configured to any transmitter, zeroizer configured by software to allow the configuration of the receiver to be blanked so that the receiver cannot be initiated by any transmitter until such time as the receiver is field-bonded by the configuration means, a multifunctional battery cap adapted to withstand 25 KV electrical static discharge (ESD) events and allows for the receiver to stand upright, and an antenna capable of withstanding 25 KV ESD events.

A catalytic burner with electric start. The method of using the catalytic burner comprises an electric-start device that may actuated via a switch or remotely via radio signal.

Provided are a remote controllable auto-ignition candle and a control system thereof, and more particularly, a remote controllable auto-ignition candle including a wick portion performing combustion after ignition and including a wick made of a conductive material; a first communication unit communicating with a user terminal in a wired or wireless manner; a control unit controlling an ignition state of the wick portion according to a control signal received through the first communication unit; and an ignition means generating a discharge to the wick so that the wick portion is ignited according to a control of the control unit.

Provided is an auto-ignition unit for a candle including a wick containing a conductive material, wherein the wick is ignited by a discharge (electric discharge). Further, provided is a candle containing the auto-ignition unit for a candle to thereby be automatically ignited by an electric signal.

A remote detonator system is provided. The remote detonator system includes a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver includes a transducer configured to receive an ultrasonic acoustic signal. The transducer is electrically coupled to a first controller, the first controller having a processor responsive to executable computer instructions for detonating a charge in response to the transducer receiving the ultrasonic acoustic signal. A transmitter is provided having a transmitter configured to selectively emit the ultrasonic acoustic signal in response to an actuation by an operator.

The detonation of one or more explosive charges and propellant charges by a detonator in response to a fire control signal from a command and control system comprised of a command center and instrumentation center with a communications link therebetween. The fire control signal is selectively provided to the detonator from the instrumentation center if plural detonation control switches at the command center are in a fire authorization status, and instruments, and one or more interlocks, if included, are in a ready for firing status. The instrumentation and command centers are desirably mobile, such as being respective vehicles.
