An imaging system for a precision mammographic needle biopsy system includes an x-ray camera whose housing includes a compression panel (24) for the breast, a portion of the compression panel being transparent to x-rays that have passed through the breast so that the surface on which the breast is positioned forms the outside surface of the camera head. Adjacent the interior of the transparent surface, are a scintillator and optics (38) for guiding an image formed when x-rays impinged upon the scintillation material to a CCD board (32) within the sealed camera housing. The x-ray camera contains within its housing all necessary analog and digital circuitry (47)-(49) for processing the image captured by the CCD array (32) and converting the image into a digital image. Included within the camera housing is a hermetically sealed inner housing (34) with cooling provisions for the CCD array (32).

An apparatus for preventing, detecting and predicting the formation and propagation of cracks in structural members includes a plurality of strain sensors (105) integrally formed with a patch (101) to be fixed to an area on the surface of the structural member. The patch operates to reduce stress levels in the patch-covered area for deterring the formation or propagation of a crack therein. The sensors monitor changes in the strain field in the patch-covered area for detecting crack formation and detection. The apparatus may also include a temperature-compensating strain sensor (107) and a temperature sensor (190) both integrally formed with the patch for detecting and predicting crack formation and propagation, respectively.

A low cost, office environment platform for performing off-station verification and integration of Automatic Test Program Generation test program sets for digital circuit boards includes a general purpose computer (1) which oversees integration of the test program sets developed on the simulator with the digital circuit boards using a basic test control unit such as the HP16500 Logic Analysis System (2). A method of utilizing this apparatus involves generating and simulating the test program sets and applying the test program sets to the digital circuit board during development with feedback to the host computer on which the test program sets are generated.

Portable antenna test apparatus has a test set positioned a determined distance from a number of antennas (3) of an aircraft. A transmitting module (6) of the test set contains low frequency, mid frequency and high frequency antennas connected to a radio receiver (15) and power amplifier (14) in and of the test set for receiving control commands and for transmitting a number of simultaneous test signals to the number of antenna (3) in the aircraft. A signal generator (7) produce low frequency, mid frequency and high frequency signals. A hand-held computer (5) is connected to a communications radio (2) in and of the aircraft via a radio interface adapter (4) of the hand-held and a control computer (10) is connected to the signal generator. The hand-held computer transmits commands via the aircraft radio, which commands are received by the receiver in the transmitting module. This receiver conveys the said commands to a control computer which then programs the signal generator. By this means, an operator in the aircraft cockpit remotely controls the signal generator.
摘要:
An acoustic liner comprising a sound permeable inside plate forming a first closed annulus, and a sound impermeable outside plate forming a second closed annulus located outside of and extending around the first closed annulus. The inside and outside plates are spaced apart and thus form an annular chamber therebetween; and a core member is secured in this annular chamber, between the inside and outside plates. The core member forms or has the shape of a sine wave form annularly extending around the inside plate, and the core member and the inside plate form a multitude of varying depth sound absorption chambers to attenuate sound waves over a broad band of frequencies.

An assembly (5) for restraining the upper limbs of an occupant of a seat, particularly an aircraft ejector seat (1), includes a storage unit (65) which is adapted to be fixedly secured to an upper back portion (16) of the seat (1). The storage unit (65) houses a pair of movable cover members (69, 70) and first and second bladder units (75, 76). The cover members (69, 70) and bladder units (75, 76) are connected by means of straps (90, 91) to quick release fittings (94, 95) which mate with corresponding connecting members (111, 112) carried by the occupant and then to a fixed structure adjacent the seat (1). When it is desired to deploy the restraint assembly (5), a tension is applied to the straps (90, 91) which causes the cover members (69, 70) to extend around opposite sides and laterally inward of the occupant's body, about respective arms of the occupant, and the bladder units (75, 76) to extend about the occupant's neck. The bladder units (75, 76) are then inflated so as to permit undesirable movement of the occupant's head.

A dielectric probe, of the type in which an electromagnetic wave is reflected from a dielectric/magnetic structure and spectrum analyzed (6), further includes a coil (7) for applying a magnetic field to the structure as the wave is being reflected. Information about the intrinsic electromagnetic properties and structure of the material is obtained by comparing the reflected spectra for both the magnetic field on and off conditions.

An infrared detection system is disclosed comprising a planar array segment of infrared detector elements (21), a multi-layer module (10) and a buffer board (15) disposed intermediate the detector array segment and the multi-layer module. The buffer board is disposed parallel to the planar array segment of detector elements and transverse to the plane of the module layers (11). The buffer board is disposed in abutting electrical connection with the detector elements and conductive patterns formed on the multi-layer module. The buffer board facilitates electrical communication between the detector elements and the module and conductive patterns formed on the module layers, and also enhances the structural characteristics and separate testability of the system components.
