Piscataway, NJ (PRWEB) April 27, 2012 FocalPoint welcomes Explosive Income System, under the guidance of Jeff Boyle, as the newest addition to the FocalPoint family. FocalPoint is an...

Scientists today described development of a new explosives detector that can sense small amounts of TNT and other common explosives in liquids instantly with a sensitivity that rivals bomb-sniffing dogs, the current gold standard in protecting the public from terrorist bombs. They reported on the technology, suitable for incorporation into a TNT test strip, at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), being held here this week. The sensor also has...

First, the bad news: all across America, trucks and tractor-trailers are transporting industrial explosives on nearly every artery of the country’s interstate and highway system. That’s right, volatile explosives, including munitions, rocket motors, and dynamite, are moving at a high rate of speed down a roadway not too far from you. Now, the good news: America’s track record in transporting these materials is about as safe as they come. Very rarely, almost never in fact, are the...

Military, government and industry officials watched the demonstration of a revolutionary material that increases the explosive force and lethality on enemy targets during a test at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren, Va., Dec. 2. The test material, called High-Density Reactive Material (HDRM), is designed to replace steel in warhead casings with little or no compromise in strength or design. “Today’s test demonstrates this new material’s potential and the ability of...

Explosions of reactive gases and the associated rapid, uncontrolled release of large amounts of energy pose threats of immense destructive power to mining operations, fuel storage facilities, chemical processing plants, and many other industrial applications. To gain a better understanding of what's going on during these explosions, US Naval Research Laboratory research physicist Alexei Poludnenko, and Elaine Oran, senior scientist for reactive flow physics, teamed up with Sandia National...

MIDDLESBROUGH, England, October 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CorDEX Instruments is gearing up for significant sales of its intrinsically safe thickness monitoring device after receiving international certification from a global regulator on explosive environments and safety equipment. The UT5000 Intrinsically Safe Thickness Gauge has been assessed and approved by IECEx, the globally recognised IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in...

A team of researchers from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) has developed a method to determine the chemical composition of liquids seized by police and suspected to be explosive. Some of the samples analysed contained substances hazardous to health, such as methanol and boric acid.Each year police forces seize tonnes of pyrotechnic substances which, in principle, are for indoor firework manufacturing (i.e. flares or those used in artistic or sporting events), but which also may...

JERUSALEM, Aug. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IDenta Corp. (PINKSHEETS: IDTA) CEO Yaacov Shoham today announced the following information. Mr. Shoham stated, "IDenta Alert explosive detectors were recently used to test and identify residue from a recent terror attack in an Asian country that involved deaths and a great amount of damage. "Federal intelligence officers have brought to a meeting with IDenta's representative in the same country, remains from the blast area. They performed three...

A revolutionary material that will replace steel in warhead casings will bring added lethality and increase the likelihood of a hit on an enemy target, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) announced August 10.By combining several metals with standard manufacturing techniques, High-Density Reactive Material (HDRM) has the potential to dramatically increase the explosive impact of most weapons with little or no compromise in strength or design.Unlike conventional munitions, the innovative...

The first few months of 2011 have brought with them some significant milestones for Orica Watercare, including the commissioning of the largest High Rate MIEX® System and Orica Watercare's expansion into the Chinese market, where contracts have been secured for China's first two MIEX® Treatment systems. Watkins, Colorado (PRWEB) May 19, 2011 The first few months of 2011 have brought with them some significant milestones for Orica Watercare, including the commissioning of the...
