Latest Patents
One of Ronald's latest patents is titled "Methods and apparatuses for electronic time delay and systems including same." This invention discloses electronic time delay apparatuses and methods of use. The system is designed for explosive or propellant applications, particularly in well perforating systems. It includes an electronic time delay assembly that comprises an input subassembly, an electronic time delay circuit, and an output subassembly. The input subassembly is activated by an external stimulus, which displaces an element to activate the electronic time delay circuit. The circuit counts a time delay and raises a voltage until a threshold firing voltage is exceeded. Once this threshold is surpassed, a voltage trigger switch transfers energy to an electric initiator, which initiates an explosive booster within the output subassembly. This booster then provides the necessary detonation output to initiate subsequent explosive elements, such as shaped charges in the well perforating system.
