Filters were back ordered upon order. No problem though as the other filter was delivered within 6 days. A few days later another order arrives with 1 of the SN-2530 filters and 3 days later the second filter arrives. By the way filters are being used to fabricate a breather system for a 650 Kawasaki dirt tracker.

I was somewhat disappointed in the sound increase maybe its because of the exhaust system I already had but I can definetely feel the horsepower gain! The increased gas mileage is also a plus! I would recommend this product.
April 15, 2014
I replaced my factory filter with the K&N as soon as a purchased the car! Very easy to replace and I know that my car will appreciate the improved airflow!

My Buick Verano absolutely LOVES this air filter. I can actually hear and feel the car INHALE. The filter dropped in perfectly with only the aid of a Phillips screwdriver to open the housing. Buy one now. It's a life-time filter and your car's gonna love you for it!

Just installed this a week ago in my 2014 F250 6.2. The jury is still out. I have not felt or seen a significant change in power or gas mileage. Though it gives the truck a deeper throttle sound when I give it gas.

I installed the product as shown and immediately noticed a huge improvement. The product works great and is simple to install. I have used your products in the past and they do exactly as shown. It is so great to buy a product, install it and it actually performs like the advertisement. I would say that the video on YouTube did make it super easy to install. I have recommended the product to several of my Ford friends and they are purchasing the product as well. Thank you again.

Great fit and great product. Instructions were clear and precise. Wouldn't expect anything less from a brand like K&N. Only down fall for me would be like a quick access to the filter rather than Allen bolts to access it

I am fully satisfied with my K&N air filter. The combustion of the engine, I think, is much better. The exhaust sound is much rawer, so is the torque, much rawer, higher. I don't know if the consumption of gas will decrease ... because the fun of riding is so much increased. My bike asks now to have fun ... and that's what my wife and I are doing ... have fun.

I installed my first K&N filter in 1975 while I was the manager at Small Car Accessories, a high performance VW shop in Sunnyvale CA. At the time I ran these filters on both of my Corvair powered VW's, a '58 Single Cab pickup, which I still drive, and a '71 bug. They worked really well on the street, giving me an extra mile or two per gallon with pretty much 'filter-less' performance, and worked especially well in the shop's sand rail. Other filters would pack it in when running the dunes at Pismo and until the K&N's came along, you carried a couple of extra filters. The K&N's not only kept the sand out, but did well when packed with sand. A quick stop and a quick tap or two and they were ready to go again. Because they flowed air so well and were so easy to clean. We sold a lot of them to our off-roading customers, and they loved them. At the time, RURA racers ran their buggies and Bajas at a track near the old Fremont Drag Strip where they used them for their performance value and reusability. These days I run a K&N filter in my '99 Ranger, where I picked up just over 1 mpg with just the filter change. I still use a K&N in my old Single Cab, which since 1981 has sported a 351 Ford Windsor engine and Ford drive train (over 60,000 miles). My '82 Yamaha 650 Seca still has the K&N air filter I installed at the first filter change over 52,000 miles back. There is also a K&N on my Café style Iron Head Sporty (48,000 miles), my wife's modified 750 Virago (two pod style filters), my '05 Triumph Tiger (added three HP on the dyno) and the '97 GS500 Suzuki I recently saved from the back of a neighbor's yard. I'm taking the time to write this because the K&N filter is a product which is truly as excellent as the manufacture claims. Besides the maximum star rating I also give K&N filter a 'two thumbs up.'

Good service in shipping the order and the replacement filter fit perfectly. It was just as easy as replacing the OEM filter and the best part is you can clean it as often as you want and reuse the filter. A few dollars for cleaning supplies and filter oil and you're ready to go again.

This is a great product! Very easy to install and it gives your engine a little boost. One of the best features is the sound you get out of the engine at 4500rpms to 6500rpms! I'm looking forward to seeing how much more performance I get with this and an exhaust system!

Oh, of course. She married John Anton Steffan and moved to California. I have found that her father's name was Ludger, but when she emigrated they encouraged her to write 'Lujay Pelky' instead of Ludger Pelletier. With this information, I dug through marriage records and found that he married a Jennie Greenwood.
There is a general family idea that Jennie had been born in England, though I've found no proof of that. Ludger's nationality and Margarets were both listed on the documents I've found as 'French'.
One of the cousins told me he thinks Margaret called herself 'Margaret Mary' not 'Margaret Marie.' More Anglicization of her name, I fear. Or perhaps not. It makes it difficult. He also told me she had a brother, Charles.
Thank you so much. I wasn't sure there was much chance this forum was active currently.

Lobbying for Equality and Justice
May 2, 2013 by Cathryn Oakley, Legislative Counsel, State & Municipal Advocacy
On Tuesday, hundreds of people – myself included – lobbied and rallied in Albany, New York in favor of the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act. This bill, which is also known as GENDA, would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression in employment, housing, public accommodations, and credit.
Lobby days are always a lot of fun, and Equality and Justice Day – promoted by the Trans Rights Coalition, organized by the Empire State Pride Agenda and sponsored in part by the Human Rights Campaign – was no exception. It was a particularly meaningful lobby day for me, as I am a native New Yorker and grew up only miles away from where the rally was taking place. Lobby Days in general are an exciting time in a legislative campaign: it is the culmination of a lot of behind the scenes work, and it is so inspiring to be surrounded by so many passionate, committed, politically engaged people!
Our representatives need to understand that the issues they debate affect the lives of real, three-dimensional people. They also need to know they'll be held politically accountable for the way they vote. People came from all corners of the vast state of New York to talk to their Senators and Assembly members about why prohibiting discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people is so important to them. Their passion is infectious, and some of that lobbying may have already paid off – the Assembly passed GENDA on Tuesday while Equality & Justice Day attendees filled the gallery.
I know I am not alone in believing that participating directly in democracy is a powerful thing. If you are a New Yorker but couldn't attend Equality and Justice Day, it is not too late to be a part of making this important bill become a law. Tell your Senator that you want to see GENDA brought to the floor of the Senate and then passed. It is beyond time that discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression be prohibited by a state that has always been a leader on matters of LGBT equality – make me proud once again, New York.
Pictured, from left to right: Cathryn Oakley and Nick Martin, HRC staff and native New Yorkers; and Rhonda Patillo and Michael Olivarri, HRC volunteers who rode the bus from Lower Manhattan in order to attend.

Finally! Teenage girls are practicing more safe sex -and waiting longer to have it!
Moms, you can breathe a sigh of relief! Contrary to what every adolescent movie, CW television show, and birth control/sex education protester would have you believe, teenage girls are actually waiting longer to have sex, according to a newly released survey.
Conducted by the CDC, the study asked 2,300 teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19 and found that 57 percent had never had sex, compared to 49 percent in 1995. And the good news doesn't end there! The survey also found that the 60 percent that did have sex were using the best and most effective kinds of contraception, like the pill, patch, contraceptive shot, etc. (Condoms were deemed only moderately effective). Again, this is significantly higher than in the '90's when less than half were using sufficient types of birth control.
The trend could suggest a growing awareness of pregnancy risk among teens –and health officials also say it could explain why there's been a consistent decline in the U.S. teen birth rate since 1990 and why it's at an all-time low today.
Read more ¿Qué más?: Purity Ring 3000 would be a hilarious mamas Latinas dream come true
While I'm thrilled to hear this news, I can't help but feel a hint of smugness. I mean, could it be that teenage girls are actually, you know, learning accurate information and applying it to their sex lives? And finding birth control useful? I know, groundbreaking!
If only I could give Rush Limbaugh and every other abstinence-only, anti-contraceptive person with medieval beliefs a big, fat "I told you so!" I hope they are biting their tongues now...but somehow I doubt it.

In any case, this is really great news for both parents and teens. It shows that despite what many think, adolescents don't always allow themselves to be influenced by what they might see or hear on TV and media. In fact, perhaps seeing certain programs (like Teen Mom and similar shows) has even helped them become more aware.
Whatever the reason is, I'm glad that teens are becoming increasingly educated about the importance of safe sex and using the knowledge to make intelligent, adult decisions to protect themselves.
What do you think of the survey?

Word of Abby's letter spurs tips of no use
Law enforcement officers immediately followed up on the tips, which "were not all confined to the Conway area" in origin, she said. Thousands of tips have been investigated by authorities thus far.
Authorities have not detailed the letter's origin or content, but said "the tone" of the letter is consistent with Abigail's writing. Authorities also said they have accounted for the delay in the letter being postmarked and Abigail's mother receiving it, but would not disclose the reason.
Noting that Abigail has no independent financial means, FBI Special Agent Kieran Ramsey said Friday "our worst fear right now is that, though she could have left willingly, someone may now be coercing her or someone may be manipulating her."
Paul Kirsch, who has been leading many of the volunteer efforts, said volunteers will be vigilant in getting Abigail's name, photo and story out to the world in hopes that someone with information about her whereabouts will come forward.
"We ask everyone to keep their efforts going looking for her and sharing her information with everyone they can and to keep reporting any tips or sightings to the FBI," he said.

Indian Prime Minister Modi urges expatriates in Australia to invest back home17 November 2014 - Thousands of expatriate Indians thronged Sydney's Allphones Arena on Monday, many travelling 1,000 km (620 miles) on a train dubbed the Modi Express, to clap and cheer Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Prime Minister Modi's appearance at the 21,000-seat arena underscored the popularity he enjoys among some Indians at home and abroad. He promised lifetime visas to people of Indian origin, repeating an offer he made to expatriates in the United States that would seek to strengthen cultural and business ties between overseas Indians and their home country. Mr Modi arrived on Friday for the G20 economic summit in Australia, where about 300,000 Indians live. He urged overseas Indians to boost investment at home, reprising an appeal made elsewhere, including the US. (more)

The spouses of the G20 leaders paid a visit to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on Saturday. Koalas, which are not actually bears but rather marsupials that carry their young in a pouch, are an iconic symbol of Australia. Aside from koala bears, the sanctuary is also home to over 100 species of animals. More than 80 per cent of Australia's wildlife is unique to the country. (more)
Peru aims to cover rural electrical gap with solar panels by 202012 November 2014 - Peru plans to nearly close its gap in electrical coverage in rural regions by the end of the decade with a recently-awarded $28.5 million solar-energy contract, the government said on Wednesday. Only 70 per cent of rural Peru is now connected to the electrical grid, compared to 90 per cent nationally. Energy and Mines Minister Eleodoro Mayorga said the photovoltaic panels will boost rural electrical coverage to 96 per cent in five years -- much faster than waiting for the grid to reach Peru's far-flung provinces.

Success of Maharishi's Programmes10 Short Summaries of Top Stories
Meditation sessions a hit in US Congress12 November 2014 - The success of programmes for veterans and other at-risk groups has inspired a congressional leader to organize meditation sessions for people working in Washington, DC at the US Congress. Rep Tim Ryan began the meditation sessions, which he calls, 'Quiet Time Caucus' two years ago and the New York Post is calling the sessions 'wildly popular' with members of Congress and staffers.

Guardian Liberty Voice: Research shows group meditation can reduce crime rates11 April 2014 - A recent article in the US publication Guardian Liberty Voice took an in-depth look into scientific research on the coherence-creating effect of group meditation, detailing how it 'was not only able to reduce the crime rate, but also can save cities millions of dollars'. Noting more than 50 research studies on this phenomenon, known as the Maharishi Effect, the article explains that it is produced by a specific form of meditation--the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme, an advanced practice of Transcendental Meditation. In one study in Merseyside, England, 'During periods when a meditating group slightly larger than the square root of one percent of the population held sessions the monthly data showed a 13.4 percent drop in crime. This was very significant in contrast to the national crime rate, which had actually increased by 45 percent.' (more)
Belgium: Peace Assemblies in Brussels create harmonious atmosphere for EU leaders' summits10 March 2014 - European Union Summit meetings bring together heads of state in Brussels, Belgium, every few months to make important decisions for the whole EU.

A few hundred metres away, special Peace Assemblies of advanced Transcendental Meditation practitioners have been held coinciding with the summits, with the aim of creating a coherent, harmonious atmosphere for EU leaders' deliberations, so that they will have the most life-supporting effect for all of Europe.

Hundreds in Albania and Kosovo learn Transcendental Meditation9 September 2013 - Dr Bevan Morris, President of Maharishi University of Management in Iowa, USA, toured Kosovo and Albania in the past year to present the latest developments and research regarding the Transcendental Meditation programme around the world. At the time of Dr Morris's visit, for the past few months a foundation started by a wealthy businessman had sponsored about 700 people to learn Transcendental Meditation in Albania and Kosovo. Because of this, several officials and educators Dr Morris met with had already heard of the technique. (more)

US: Senator supports MUM's substantive research on cardiovascular health12 July 2013 - In a recent review of the past year's developments, Dr Bevan Morris, President of Maharishi University of Management, described the appreciation, help and support given to the university through the years by Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, the home state of MUM in the USA. Senator Harkin, a member of the United States Senate for 28 years, gave the 2013 commencement address at the MUM graduation ceremonies last spring. He has assisted the university particularly in the area of its substantive research on alternative approaches to treating and preventing heart disease. (more)
Study at military academy finds Transcendental Meditation improves cadets' resilience23 April 2013 - In a study conducted at Norwich University, America's first private military college, researchers found that practising Transcendental Meditation quickly increased resilience among cadets in training.

Known for his strong interest in alternative medicine and sustainability, Senator Harkin has visited the MUM campus twice. In 2004, when he was working on health care legislation, he came to learn more about the university's prevention-oriented wellness programme and the National Institutes of Health-funded research in natural medicine. He also visited the new Sustainable Living Center last August.
Coherence-creating conference of advanced meditators convenes in Brussels 'to support unity and stability in Europe' during EU summit6 March 2013 - A four-day conference of advanced Transcendental Meditation practitioners is in progress in Brussels, Belgium--'to support unity and stability in Europe' during the current summit of European Union leaders, organizers said. Scientific research has found that large groups practising these advanced technologies of consciousness reduce social stress and create a measurable influence of coherence and harmony in the surroundings. Similar conferences held during EU summits last year had 'remarkable' effects, said Dr Stijn van den Bosch, director of the Transcendental Meditation programme in Belgium. The first was held in June during an important EU summit meeting about the financial crisis. 'Although expectations for a good outcome were very low, heads of state came to an agreement on the first day.' A news article commented, 'After 20 failed EU summits, here is finally one that has some good results.' (more)

Guyana in political crisis after suspension of parliament17 November 2014 - Guyana President Donald Ramotar's decision to suspend parliament to avoid a no-confidence motion against him has plunged the small former British colony into political crisis, as foes decry the President as a dictator. Opposition parties, which have a small legislative majority, last week demanded a no-confidence vote to protest spending of some $22.5 million without parliamentary approval on items ranging from school stipends to an airport expansion project. That followed years of complaints that the government has refused to provide details on millions of dollars in spending on infrastructure projects. Perched on the shoulder of Latin America, Guyana has a population of only 740,000 people. Much of the country is covered in dense jungle, the site of some both legal and clandestine gold, diamond, and bauxite mining. It also produces sugar and timber. Since gaining independence in 1966, Guyana has struggled with ethnic tensions between Guyanese of Indian and African descent. (more)
Nearly 36 mln people are slaves, Qatar in focus: global index17 November 2014 - Almost 36 million people are living as slaves across the globe with an index on Monday listing Mauritania, Uzbekistan, Haiti, Qatar, and India as the nations where modern-day slavery is most prevalent. (more)
Rohingya relatives says thousands missing in boats en route to Malaysia15 November 2014 - Thousands of Rohingya boat people who have left Myanmar in the past month have yet to reach their destinations, say relatives and an advocacy group for the persecuted minority, raising fears their boats have been prevented from reaching shore. The boat people are headed for Malaysia, but most transit through Thailand, where smugglers and traffickers hold them at jungle camps near the Malaysian border until relatives pay ransoms to secure their release. About 460 boat people were found and detained by the Thai authorities in November, but thousands more have not made landfall or contacted relatives after what is usually a five-day voyage. 'Where are they?' said Chris Lewa of the Arakan Project, which plots migration across the Bay of Bengal. 'We have become very concerned.' (more)
Ukraine says rebels get reinforcements, shelling batters truce11 November 2014 - Kiev accused separatists of preparing for renewed conflict in east Ukraine on Tuesday by bringing in 'Russian mercenaries' and rearming as heavy shelling increased strains on a crumbling ceasefire. Shelling around Donetsk, the main rebel stronghold, and artillery exchanges elsewhere punctured a truce that has been violated by what Kiev says are armed Russian incursions, and what the rebels call a new offensive by government forces. Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the rebels had beefed up positions around the port city of Mariupol in the southeast, control of which would open up roads to territory in southern Ukraine that some Western leaders say Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes to claim. The ceasefire agreed on 5 September was intended to end a conflict that has killed more than 4,000 people since the separatists rose up in the mainly Russian-speaking east against the Western-looking government in Kiev. Russia has denied providing the rebels with military support. A Reuters correspondent saw a convoy of about 50 military trucks without insignia on Tuesday carrying equipment such as artillery guns and missile-launchers near Makiivka, on the eastern outskirts of Donetsk. The OCSE also reported a sighting of what appeared to be the same convoy. (Organization for Security and Cooperation, a body that includes Russia, Ukraine, the United States, and Western European countries) (more)
Drug cartels find Argentina attractive transit way10 November 2014 - The interception of a drug shipment earlier this year called attention to a worrying trend in Argentina, the increasing use of its roads and ports as a trade route for cocaine and other drugs bound for markets in the US, Europe, and beyond. Bordered by long stretches of sparsely developed land to its north and west, and 3,100 miles (nearly 5,000 kilometers) of Atlantic coastline on the east, Argentina is proving attractive for traffickers exporting cocaine from neighbouring Bolivia and from nearby Peru, which in 2012 surpassed Colombia to become the world's biggest cocaine producer. The rising use of Argentina as a passageway is also leading to greater consumption within the country, fuelling growing violence between gangs battling to control turf and markets. (more)
Worst east Ukraine shelling for month; ceasefire looks in doubt9 November 2014 - East Ukraine's rebel stronghold Donetsk was pummelled on Sunday by the heaviest shelling in a month, and the OSCE said it spotted an armoured column of troops without insignia in rebel territory that Kiev said proved Moscow had sent reinforcements. A two-month-old ceasefire to end a war that has killed 4,000 people has appeared shakier than ever in the past few days, with each side accusing the other of having violated the terms of the peace plan. Ukraine's military said its standoff with the Russian-backed separatists in the east had intensified in the past week, which saw the rebels swear in new leaders after elections the government says violated the terms of the truce pact. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) operates in East Ukraine with the blessing of all sides and is widely seen as neutral. Its statement that it spotted an unidentified armoured column in rebel territory helps support Kiev's position that Moscow has been sending in reinforcements to protect separatist enclaves the Kremlin now refers to as 'New Russia'. Although Russia blames the crisis on Kiev and the West, NATO has said it has overwhelming evidence that Russia has aided the rebels militarily in the conflict. (more)
Mexican meth increasingly supplanting at-home labs in US8 November 2014 - America's Heartland is ridding itself of the scourge of homemade methamphetamine, with lab seizures down by nearly half in many high-meth states. There is no cause to celebrate: Meth use remains high, but people are increasingly turning to cheaper, imported Mexican meth rather than making their own. Mexican cartels have upped their meth-making. At first, the Mexican meth was aimed mainly at big cities and suburbs. Now the imported drug has even reached rural areas. 'The great news is that meth from Mexico doesn't explode, doesn't burn down your house and your neighbour's home, doesn't contaminate your property, doesn't kill children the way meth labs have done here in the US for decades,' said Jason Grellner, the chief narcotics officer in Franklin County, Missouri. The US Drug Enforcement Administration's website lists thousands of homes contaminated by meth. One only needs to go to the morgue to know that, despite fewer lab busts, the meth problem isn't going away. (more)
US: Chef, 90, faces jail, fines for feeding the homeless8 November 2014 - For decades, 90-year-old Arnold Abbott has hauled pans filled with food onto a south Florida beach park to feed hundreds of homeless people. For his good deeds, Mr Abbott finds himself facing up to two months in jail and hundreds of dollars in fines after new laws that restrict public feeding of the homeless went into effect in Fort Lauderdale, Florida earlier this year. He was first cited last Sunday, along with two clergymen and a volunteer from his nonprofit, Love Thy Neighbor. On Wednesday, several police cars waited for Abbott at a downtown Fort Lauderdale park, and officers pulled aside the frail man, clad in a white chef's coat, soon after the first plates were ready to be served. At least 57 cities in the US have limited or banned public feeding. A widely agreed-upon solution -- giving the longtime homeless beds as they work their way into treatment programmes -- is too costly for many municipalities that struggle with homelessness. (more)
US: Showdown looms as California eyes pesticides8 November 2014 - With organic food growers reporting double-digit growth in US sales each year, producers are challenging a proposed California pest-management programme they say enshrines a pesticide-heavy approach for decades to come, including compulsory spraying of organic crops at the state's discretion.

AP Exclusive: Myanmar profits off Rohingya exodus6 November 2014 - Small wooden boats leave the shores of western Myanmar nearly every day, overloaded with desperate Rohingya Muslims who are part of one the largest boat exoduses in Asia since the Viet Nam War. Helping them on their way: Myanmar's own security forces, who are profiting off the mass departure of one of the world's most persecuted minorities by extracting payments from those fleeing. A report to be released Friday, 7 November by the Bangkok-based advocacy group Fortify Rights, and reporting by The Associated Press, indicate the practice is far more widespread and organized than previously thought, with Myanmar naval boats going so far as to escort asylum seekers out sea, where larger ships operated by transnational criminal networks wait to pick them up (more)

The thing that impressed me most though was the customer service I received. I didn't know how to make changes to the look and feel - which is almost certainly due to lack of joomla knowledge on my part - and instead of brushing me off the guys here actually made the edits for me on my site. This was so far beyond what I would expect from extension support. Very cool.

November 28, 2014
WEST (October 2, 2012)—A Tuesday morning wreck involving five vehicles had traffic blocked in both directions on Interstate 35 north of West for several hours.
All lanes were reopened by 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The accident involved four truck tractor, semi-trailers and one car.
One of the truck drivers was flown from the scene to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, in Waco, for treatment.
The other drivers were not injured.
Department of Public Safety troopers and rescue units from West Fire Department were sent just after 11 a.m. to mile marker 355 where the trucks had collided in the northbound lanes.
Rescuers asked for the Jaws of Life to help free one of the drivers from the wreckage.
A medical helicopter was sent to the scene to fly the injured driver to a Waco hospital.
Traffic was being diverted on the northbound side of the roadway at the 352 mile marker and on the southbound side at the 356 mile marker.
One DPS trooper at the scene said the highway likely would remain closed until around 2 p.m.
The extent of the drivers' injuries was not immediately known and there was no detail on how the accident happened.

I prefer the name of LaVeyan. Satanism and using Lucifer/Satan as a symbol is pretentious, which is one of their own sins. LaVeyan is a kind of social Darwinism, with some guidelines on how not to be an ignorant piece of shit and to live your dahm life. Satanism is mainly for posers who just liked the whole middlefinger to christianity and chok value, and this is a nice way to distinguish the two. No satan, no lucifer, just LaVey

the whole done to death with the 'arrow to the knee jokes' began when people who didn't even play skyrim starting to use it everywhere and ruined it. Hopefully it won't happen with Avatar. The arrow in the knee was just a random line that gained notoriety among the non-players of the game. the 'but then everything changed when the fire nation attacked' line was a crucial line to the story of avatar. that showed the contrast between the peaceful and harmonious times before a violent invading force began a quest to take over the world and began one hundred years of tyranny and savage warfare.
#16 - itsthatguyagain (08/03/2013) [-]
Good point there. Also, I never really liked Avatar. I lost interest in Skyrim.

The present invention generally relates to the field of pyrotechnic initiators, and more particularly to a pyrotechnic initiator having a crimped sleeve for retaining a pyrotechnic charge.
Pyrotechnic initiators have many uses in industrial and consumer applications. One important use is in triggering the inflation of airbags in motor vehicles. Significant efforts have been made in the automotive industry to reduce the cost of manufacturing reliable airbag initiators. One advance has been the use of liquids and slurries in loading pyrotechnic charges into the initiators. There remains a substantial need for further reduction in the costs of manufacturing reliable initiators, however, and hitherto, a narrowed sleeve has never been used to retain a pyrotechnic charge in an initiator.
In accordance with the present invention, a sleeve with a narrowed end retains a pyrotechnic charge in place in an initiator.
The FIGURE is a sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention.
Various initiator configurations can be used, or modified appropriately for use, in the present invention. As can be seen from the FIGURE, a preferred embodiment of an initiator 10 according to the present invention includes a number of features typically found in a pyrotechnic initiator. For example, there is a molded insulating body 55, and a coaxial sealed header assembly 20 hermetically attached to a can 65 that is surrounded by an insulator cup 56. The depicted coaxial header assembly 20 in turn consists of a coaxial, isolated center pin 40, glass 50, an eyelet 60, a welded bridgewire 70, and a ground pin 30, with both of pins 30 and 40 extending beyond body 55 to form a connector end.
In the depicted embodiment of the present invention, however, the lower region of a preferably uniformly cylindrical sleeve 90 is slid onto eyelet 60 until approximately the upper half or third of sleeve 90 remains above the top surface of header assembly 20. Then, the lower end 92 of sleeve 90 is circumferentially crimped inwardly along a corresponding circumferential indentation in eyelet 60, so as to firmly secure sleeve 90 onto eyelet 60. Other suitable methods, such as welding, can also be used to secure the sleeve.
Following that, preferably substantially the entire open area within sleeve 90 (i.e., the area within the aforementioned upper half or third that remains above the top surface of header assembly 20) is loaded with a suitable pyrotechnic charge 82. Preferably, this is done using a slurry loading technique or similar means known in the art. Some examples of relevant slurry-loadable pyrotechnic compositions are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,686,691 to Hamilton, et al., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full. Preferably after (although, less preferably, it could be done before or during) drying of the slurry, the upper end 91 of sleeve 90 is circumferentially crimped inwardly so that it becomes narrowed and compresses charge 82. During or after this step, the top of charge 82 is preferably (although it is not necessary) pressed downwardly to pack charge 82 more tightly and more firmly press it against bridgewire 70. Pressing preferably produces a concave top on charge 82 (as shown in the FIGURE), although the top of charge 82 could alternately be formed flat or even project convexly above the top of sleeve 90.
Although sleeve 90 is preferably loaded after it is attached to the header assembly as just described, sleeve 90 could alternately be separately pre-loaded (preferably with a slurry, and preferably upside-down on a flat surface or suitable fixture) with charge 82 (so as to fill the desired portion of the upper region of sleeve 90). Then (preferably after drying of slurry), the top of header assembly 20 could be inserted into sleeve 90 such that the bottom of charge 82 makes intimate contact with bridgewire 70. The lower end 92 of sleeve 90 could then be firmly affixed to eyelet 60 and the upper end 91 of sleeve 90 crimped inwardly, as described above.
Alternately still, rather than forming the narrowed upper end 91 of sleeve 90 by crimping it after loading sleeve 90, sleeve 90 could be formed with a narrowed end right from the outset, and the slurry charge just loaded and allowed to dry in the sleeve without the need for crimping the sleeve. This is less preferable, however, than forming the narrowed end after the slurry has dried within the sleeve.
In any case, once the slurry dries, the resulting pyrotechnic charge 82 is physically retained in place by sleeve 90. Specifically, the obstruction of narrowed upper end 91 (which has a smaller inner diameter than the outer diameter of charge 82 below narrowed upper end 91), and the cohesion and/or friction between charge 82 and the walls of sleeve 90, retain charge 82 in intimate contact with bridgewire 70 (or other suitable electrical initiating element). Thus, the process of assembling the pyrotechnic charge 82 to the header assembly 20 in intimate contact with bridgewire 70 is simplified and yet more reliable.
Subsequently, the resulting initiator subassembly (including the header assembly 20 and the sleeve 90 loaded with the pyrotechnic charge 82) is pressed into and hermetically sealed and attached to can 65, such as with a through-weld 61. The interior of can 65 is depicted in the FIGURE as not in contact with the upper end 91 of sleeve 90, however, the interior of can 65 could alternately be in contact with upper end 91 of sleeve 90 if desired. To complete initiator 10, a suitable insulator cup 56 and insulating body 55 are provided as is well known in the art.
A preferred embodiment of a pyrotechnic initiator having a narrowed sleeve retaining a pyrotechnic charge, and many of its attendant advantages, has thus been disclosed. It will be apparent, however, that various changes may be made in the form, construction, and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred or exemplary embodiment thereof. Therefore, the invention is not to be restricted or limited except in accordance with the following claims.
