Abrégé

A positioning tool (12, 112, 212) is configured to engage and be longitudinally moved along a length of entwined wires. The tool comprises a spreader member (14, 14', 14") which has retainer passages (14a, 14a', 14b, 14b') spaced from each other to define a fixed distance (D) between them. The positioning tool is engaged with entwined wires (16a, 16b) to place a respective entwined wire within each retainer passage (14a, 14a', 14b, 14b') so that in the vicinity of the spreader member of the positioning tool the retained wires are separated from each other by the fixed distance (D). Fixed distance (D) corresponds to the desired distance between wires for attaching the wires to a connector clip or other connector.

A fracture density model (FDM) system may predict the fragmentation size distribution for a blast. The FDM system may generate a model comprising a plurality of volume elements. The FDM system may determine pre-existing joint fractures in the volume elements. The FDM system may also simulate blasts and track fractures, for each of the volume elements, caused by the shock wave of the blast and a shock wave reflected off of a free face of the model. The FDM system may combine the pre-existing joint fractures and the blast induced fractures to determine a predicted fragmentation size for the distinct elements.

A simplified blasting system enables utilization of electronic delay detonators (23e) and pyrotechnic delay detonators (23p) in a simplified blasting set up. Both the electronic time delay detonators (23e) and the pyrotechnic delay detonators (23p) have shock tube fuses (32) which enables both types of detonators to be initiated by a common trunkline such as a low energy detonating cord trunkline (38). This system eliminates the need for separate firing systems, an electric firing system for electrically-initiated electronic delay detonators and a detonating cord trunkline for the non-electrically-initiated pyrotechnic delay detonators.

A booster explosive (10) is comprised of assembled components comprising a canister body (12, 112) having a fuse tunnel (22) formed integrally therewith and a separate cap well (14, 114) mounted within the canister body (12, 112) which is filled with a solid cast explosive (34). The connector end (14c, 114c, 214c) of cap well (14, 114) is configured to engage cap well mounting fixture (28, 128) disposed within the canister body (12, 112). Cap well mounting fixture (28, 128) has a flexible and resilient crown-shaped locking member (28a, 128a) formed integrally therewith and is otherwise configured to positively retain a detonator (16, 116) within the cap well (14, 114). More than one cap well (214a, 214b, 214a', 214b') and more than one fuse tunnel (222a, 222b, 222a', 222b') may be provided in the canister body (212, 212').

An ignition circuit (200) includes: an igniter (210) having first (211) and second (212) terminals; a first diode (225) electrically connected in series with the igniter at the first terminal; a second diode (230) electrically connected in series with the igniter at the second terminal. The first and second diodes each have an anode terminal (226, 231) and a cathode terminal (227, 232), wherein like terminals of the first and second diodes are electrically connected to the igniter, thereby defining proximal terminals and distal terminals. A capacitor (235) is electrically connected across the distal terminals and connectable in parallel with a series-connected energy source (215) and switch (220). The energy source and a switch are electrically connectable across the distal terminals via test lead wires. Current flow through the igniter sufficient to ignite the igniter is prevented until an ignition voltage is applied to the distal terminals that is equal to or greater than the reverse breakdown voltage of the first diode or the second diode.

A blasting control system includes a detonator module, and a blasting machine interface configured for serial communication between a blasting machine and the detonator module. The detonator module includes a detonator, a unique electronic ID, a switch configured to enable/disable the detonator in response to verification of the unique electronic ID, a communication device configured for communication with the blasting machine interface, and a processor responsive to instructions from the communication device. The blasting machine interface includes an I/O device, a communication device, and a processor responsive to the I/O device and the communication device. Upon verification of the unique electronic ID via communication from a user via the blasting machine interface, a state of the switch associated with the detonator is placed in an unlocked mode so as to enable activation of the associated detonator upon a fire signal from the blasting machine via the blasting machine interface.

A connector clip (10, 10′) defines a line-retaining slot (34) and is configured to receive a detonator (16) therein. The connector clip (10, 10′) comprises a body member (12, 12′) and a closure member (14, 14′) which are mounted, one on the other, for movement relative to each other along a travel path between an open position in which the line-retaining slot (34) is accessible to lateral insertion therein of one or more signal transmission lines (68), and a closed position in which the line-retaining slot (34) is closed to secure such signal transmission lines (68) therein. One of the body member (12, 12′) and the closure member (14, 14′) defines a cavity within which at least part of the other of the body member (12, 12′) and the closure member (14, 14′) is encased during travel between the open position and the closed position. The travel path between the open position and the closed position may be as short as from the width of line-retaining slot (34) including its access opening (38), to about two times that width.

A gas-impermeable sealer element (24, 124) for a detonator or other explosive initiation device includes a non-reactive sleeve (26, 126) having a channel (28, 128) formed therein. A reactive material strip (30, 130) is sealed within the channel for transmission of an explosive's initiation signal through the sealer element (24, 124), either alone or in cooperation with transfer charges located at the input and/or output end of the non-reactive sleeve (26, 126). The reactive material strip (30, 130) comprises a reactive metal wire or other substrate (34) having on one or both sides thereof a layer of reactive material (30, 130, 36), either reactive metal foils which react exothermically when ignited, or a deposited fuel-oxidizer reactive material. The reactive materials, upon being energized, react exothermically in the absence of atmospheric oxygen or other extraneous oxidizer and so may be encapsulated, sealed or otherwise isolated from the atmosphere in use.
