An adaptive multi-stage inflator for inflating an air bag in an air bag safety system. The adaptive multi-stage inflator comprises a housing, a primary igniter assembly and a secondary igniter assembly. The housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall, which together define an interior chamber therebetween. The primary igniter assembly is disposed in the interior chamber of the housing and is configured to initiate the generation of a primary inflation fluid to inflate an air bag. The secondary igniter assembly is also disposed in the interior chamber of said housing. The secondary igniter assembly is configured to augment the primary inflation fluid by producing a secondary inflation fluid to further inflate the air bag. The inflator also includes a bypass assembly that is configured to provide the secondary inflation fluid to the air bag at substantially the same temperature as it was produced by the secondary igniter assembly, thereby increasing the pressure of the primary inflation fluid. The bypass assembly comprises a bypass passage configured such that the secondary igniter assembly is in direct fluid communication with the air bag. The bypass assembly has a retainer disk which in combination with the interior surface of the housing defines the bypass passage. The inflator also includes a filter disposed in the housing proximate to the side wall thereof to prevent the passage of particulates. The bypass assembly is configured to direct the secondary inflation fluid to the air bag without the secondary inflation fluid passing through the filter. Both the primary igniter assembly and the secondary igniter assembly comprises a quantity of igniter material.

The invention provides a single-tube combustor device of a ground combustion gas turbine. The single-tube combustor device of the ground combustion gas turbine comprises a casing and a flame tube arranged in the casing. A natural gas inlet pipeline is arranged on the top of the flame tube in an externally connected mode. A first-stage beveling hole whirlcone and a second-stage radial whirlcone which are opposite in rotation direction are arranged in the neck position of the flame tube sequentially from top to bottom. The first-stage beveling hole whirlcone is of a circular truncated cone structure and provided with a through hole enabling the side wall and the bottom face to communicate. The two stages of whirlcones are each provided with a Venturi tube. An igniter assembly, a main combustion hole and a mixing hole are formed in the side wall of the flame tube sequentially from top to bottom. A plurality of tiny full-coverage air film cooling holes are formed in the surface of the flame tube. A pair of symmetrical air inlets are formed in the side wall of the casing, and a convergence outlet is formed in the tail of the flame tube. By arranging the two stages of whirlcones on the neck of the flame tube and arranging the main combustion hole, the mixing hole and the tiny cooling holes in the flame tube, reasonable distribution of a combustion flow field, outlet temperature and wall temperature and reasonable temperature rise of a combustor can be achieved, and the service life of the flame tube is prolonged.

A corona igniter 20 includes a central electrode 34 for receiving a high radio frequency voltage from a power source and emitting a radio frequency electric field to ionize a fuel-air mixture and provide a corona discharge 22. The corona igniter 20 includes an insulator 38 extending along the central electrode 34 longitudinally past the central electrode 34 to an insulator firing end 40. The insulator tiring surface 42 and the center axis A present an angle α of not greater than 90 degrees therebetween, for example the insulator firing surface may be concave. The central electrode 34 may also include a firing tip 50, in which case the insulator firing surface 42 surrounds all sides of the firing tip 50. The geometry of the insulator firing surface 42 concentrates and directs the corona discharge 22.

This parachute flare igniter assembly has a novel slider for attaining high reliability in firing efficiency. The slider moves along a raceway of an igniter assembly housing. Also disposed in the housing is a cartridge retained in a stationary state relative to the housing. The cartridge includes a stationary primer and a spring. A striker arm connected to the cartridge is movable into a cocked state in which the spring urges the striker arm towards the primer. The slider has an igniter composition chamber and a cocking wall portion, and is movable in tandem with the igniter composition chamber along at least a portion of the length of said raceway from a loaded position to a firing position. In the loaded position, the striker arm is maintained in the cocked state by the cocking wall portion. In the firing position, the igniter composition chamber is aligned and in communication with the primer and the striker arm is free of the cocking wall portion to permit the spring to drive the striker arm from the cocked state into the primer with the force sufficient to detonate the primer.

A core gun igniter assembly features a resistor under 50 ohms that is welded rather than soldered to a circuit. Upon energizing the circuit, the resistor creates the heat needed to directly set off the propellant to directly drive the core barrel into the surrounding formation to obtain the desired core sample. The use of a titanium powder ignition mix on a nichrome wire with its attendant safety risks is eliminated.

An inflator (10) is provided for supplying gas to a vehicle airbag from the combustion of pyrotechnic materials. The inflator (10) has a two-piece inflator body (12) held together by crimping the body components, rather than welding. An igniter assembly (18) is positioned in a bore (22) in an upper piece (14) of the inflator body and is held in place with a press-fit interface and an adhesive seal. The upper piece (14) of the inflator body is rounded, increasing its strength, and fits partially into the lower piece (16). A booster tube is unnecessary, making the inflator lighter in weight and increasing available volume for propellant.

A parachute flare igniter assembly includes a novel safety for arresting the motion of a slider when subjected to external forces, but allows slider motion when subjected to intended cable actuation forces. The igniter safety includes a housing, a slider, a cable and a sleeve. The slider, connected to the cable, is slidably received within the housing. The cable moves the slider by applying a cable force conventionally obtained by actuation of a parachute associated with the flare and connected to an end of the cable opposite an end connected to the slider. The sleeve is connected to the cable and is disposed between the housing and the slider, so that the sleeve will arrest the slider with respect to the housing when the cable force is not present. A flare and a method of providing a safety in an igniter assembly is also provided.
