Low-observable projectile
A radar-absorbing material projectile system including a projectile with an outer layer of radar-absorbing material (RAM). A carrier or armature is disposed around the projectile, protecting the layer of RAM during the firing sequence. In some embodiments the carrier is a discarding carrier which falls away after firing, rendering the projectile low-observable with regard to radar detection due to the layer of RAM.
Permanent magnet seed field system for flux compression generator
An explosive device composed of an auxiliary flux compression generator operating to produce a high intensity magnetic field to seed a primary flux compression generator The auxiliary flux compression generator has a first section with a magnetic field supplied by a cylindrical permanent magnet array, the first section is composed of a helical winding having a prescribed pattern configured to convert explosive energy into magnetic energy that will be used as seed magnetic field for the primary flux compression generator.

Projectile Construction, Launcher, and Launcher Accessory
A projectile includes a projectile housing with at least one compartment, an energizable energy storage means, a payload, a control circuit, and an initiator. The payload may be sequestered in one compartment of the projectile until the projectile is separated or opened. A ram element within the projectile may move within the projectile to cause the opening of a projectile. The projectile may include a means for activating the initiator via dynamic induction. In an example embodiment, the projectile comprises a coil that is operatively coupled to a magnetic element of a launcher. The projectile may be charged dynamically as via interaction between the coil and magnetic element as the projectile moves within the launcher.

EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF A VEHICLE
An exhaust system for a combustion engine vehicle includes an exhaust pipe extending between an exhaust inlet disposed opposite an exhaust outlet. The exhaust inlet and exhaust outlet are in fluidic communication with one another. The exhaust inlet is configured to receive an exhaust gas produced by an internal combustion engine of the combustion engine vehicle. A second pipe has an air inlet extending from and connected to the exhaust pipe. The second pipe is configured to be in fluidic communication with the exhaust outlet. The air inlet is configured to receive an outside flow of air. The exhaust gas from the combustion engine vehicle and the outside flow of air captured by the air inlet when the combustion engine vehicle is moving forward are configured to be combined and to cooperatively exit out the exhaust outlet.
Jewelry organizer
A jewelry display includes a ferromagnetic planar substrate and a bracket configured to be attached to a wall. The bracket has at least one wall engagement surface disposed along an inner surface and at least one ferromagnetic planar substrate engagement surface disposed along an outer surface. An adhesive backed non-slip covering adhesively attaches to the substrate engagement surface. At least one bracket magnet is disposed on the inner surface of the bracket. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate, each jewelry fixture having at least one permanent fixture magnet and a jewelry holding structure, where the at least one permanent fixture magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate.
