Title: W Norman Lange, Jr: Innovator in Guided Projectile Technology
Introduction
W Norman Lange, Jr. is a notable inventor based in Tucson, AZ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of guided projectile technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique method and apparatus for energy and data retention in guided projectiles.
Latest Patents
Lange holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for energy and data retention in a guided projectile." This invention involves the transfer of energy and mission data from a projectile setter over an inductive interface. The guided projectile is designed to include an energy storage element to store energy and a data storage element for mission data. The precision GPS clock circuitry of the projectile receives power from a capacitive energy storage element during loading until a flight battery is activated. In one embodiment, the capacitive energy storage element includes at least one super capacitor and a gun-hardened capacitor. The clock circuitry can receive power from the gun-hardened capacitor if the super capacitor fails during the launching operation. Additionally, the capacitive energy storage element may include one-way energy transfer elements coupled between the super capacitor and the gun-hardened capacitor. A regulator is also included to regulate the input voltage to the clock circuitry.
