CHEMICAL AGENT DELIVERY RECEPTACLE WITH REUSABLE DIGITAL CONTROL CARTRIDGE
A digitally controlled hand-tossable explosive delivery receptacle comprises a ruggedized reusable compartment enclosing a digital circuit and a disposable cartridge holding one or more explosive chemical agents and a primer. The disposable cartridge is configured to be mounted to the ruggedized reusable cartridge, and a high-strength bulkhead incorporated into the reusable or disposable compartment that separates the digital circuit from the chemical agents. The reusable compartment is sufficiently ruggedized to withstand the ignition of the primer and the detonation of the chemical agents to be reused with one or more additional disposable cartridges. In one implementation, the delivery receptacle uses a commercial airbag initiator as the primer, which is arranged in relation to the one or more chemical agents so that when the initiator is activated, it generates a pressure wave that expels the one or more chemical agents from the grenade.

DEVICE PERFORMING SIMULTANEOUS LOCALIZATION AND MAPPING
A peripheral device that is used with a mixed reality system that is thrown by the user of the mixed reality system and captures scene and mapping data of the area the peripheral is thrown into. Upon capturing the scene and mapping data, the peripheral transmits the data (in some embodiments, including processed results of evaluation of the data) to the mixed reality system. The mixed reality system displays a visual representation of the scene and mapping data on a near eye display. In some embodiments, the visual representation appears in real space enabling an effect where the user of the mixed reality system can see through walls or other obstructions. In some embodiments, the peripheral is configured to detonate upon the satisfaction of a variable set of conditions.

ELECTRONIC TIME WARHEAD FUZE
An electronic time warhead (EOT) fuze for a hand grenade comprises a body housing a clamp with two terminals maintaining a spring and a handle in the armed position. The handle holds the spring in the armed position while the user wields the grenade. The spring is housed in a spring pin and this initializes the EOT. When throwing the grenade, the spring seeks a resting position, expelling the handle and activating a switch that energizes an electronic circuit. A battery is electrically connected to the electronic circuit. In addition, an initiator element is mounted on the body and the initiator element consists of a conductive filament impregnated with a chemical mixture generating a flame from the electrical signal applied by the electronic circuit. The initiating element can be an electrical or electronic component. The electronic circuit accounts for a delay time until the grenade's initiating flame is effectively activated. In some embodiments, the electronic circuit is a microprocessor circuit that applies the electrical signal to the conductive filament at the end of the delay time, activating the grenade.
Electronically activated hand grenade
An electronic hand grenade is provided, which includes a body having at least one charge therein. An electronic detonation unit is attached to the body for detonating the at least one charge. A pull pin is removably attached to the electronic detonation unit, for activating the electronic detonation unit upon removal thereof. The electronic detonation unit includes an accelerometer for detecting movement and acceleration of the body, a controller containing an operating program for controlling operation of the electronic detonation unit, a detonator for providing a spark to ignite the at least one charge, and a power source for powering the electronic detonation unit.
