摘要:
A flexible, adjustable refractory filler (1) is disclosed for filling gaps between ceramic tiles (10, 11) forming the heat shield of a space shuttle vehicle, to protect its aluminum skin (20) during atmospheric re-entry. The easily installed and replaced filler (1) consists essentially of a strip of ceramic cloth (3) coated, at least along both its longitudinal edges (4, 5), with a room temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber compound with a high emittance colored pigment. The filler may have one or more layers (2, 3), as the gap width requires. Preferred materials are basket-weave aluminoborosilicate cloth, and a rubber compounded with silicon tetraboride as the emittance agent and finely divided borosilicate glass containing about 7.5% B.sub.2 O.sub.3 as high temperature binder. The filler cloth strip or tape is cut to proper width and length, inserted into the gap, and fastened with previously applied drops of silicone rubber adhesive.

摘要:
This invention relates to the protection system for battery current collectors in cameras mounted on a gun, bow, or shooting device. More particularly, the present invention relates to the system of protecting the current collectors from fracture in a camera attached to a gun barrel or shooting device as a result of recoil and shock and vibration during shooting device discharge.
摘要:
A composite thermal protection structure, for applications such as atmospheric re-entry vehicles, that can withstand temperatures as high as 3600° F. The structure includes an exposed surface cap having a specially formulated coating, an insulator base adjacent to the cap with another specially formulated coating, and one or more pins that extend from the cap through the insulator base to tie the cap and base together, through ceramic bonding and mechanical attachment. The cap and insulator base have corresponding depressions and projections that mate and allow for differences in thermal expansion of the cap and base.

A heat shield for thermally insulating the leading edge of a wing of a spacecraft during ascent and reentry includes a plurality of rigid tiles. Each tile is formed with a pie-shaped element which interlocks with the complementarily-formed element of another tile. The combination of structure afforded by the pie-shaped elements substantially impedes hypersonic flow of any gases that might enter the gaps between tiles.

A uni-brace mechanism is provided which allows a vehicle seat to be attached to the vehicle seat slide adjusters made by various manufacturers. A front bracket and a rear bracket are spaced apart and attached to the underside of a vehicle seat. Each bracket includes two pairs of receiving holes, with each receiving hole having at least one corresponding engagement hole spaced apart from the receiving hole. The various engagement holes combined to form various generally rectangular patterns, spaced at distances to correspond to the bolt patterns found on vehicle seat slide adjusters. A pal nut is inserted into a receiving hole and into engagement with the proper corresponding engagement hole. Pal nut includes a hub with an internal thread which is positioned within the engagement hole. The bolt on the vehicle seat slide adjuster are threaded through the engagement hole and into the hub, attaching the vehicle seat slide adjuster to the bracket.

The present invention is for an electrochemical cell and method for quantitatively detecting noxious gas which comprises a first working electrode comprising a gas diffusion membrane having bonded thereto a catalytic portion electrochemically reactive with the noxious gas; a second working electrode having electrochemical activity with the oxidation/reduction products produced at the first working electrode; a counter electrode; a reference electrode; an electrolyte; means for containing said electrolyte and said electrodes; means for maintaining a fixed potential on said first working electrode relative to said reference electrode of from about 1.0 to 1.8 volts with respect to the potential of the reversible hydrogen couple of the electrolyte of the cell; and means for maintaining a fixed potential on said second working electrode relative to said reference electrode of from about 1.0 to 2.2 volts with respect to the potential of the reversible hydrogen couple of the electrolyte of the cell, the fixed potential on said working electrode being maintained at a voltage higher than the fixed potential being maintained on said first working electrode.
摘要:
In some radio communication systems, a tone of selected frequency (usually below the voice frequency) is transmitted so as to activate only selected radio receivers in the system. Each of such radio receivers is provided with a circuit for detecting a selected tone frequency. The detecting circuit includes means for producing sequences of pulses at a rate N times higher than the selected tone frequency, so that each sequence contains one through N numbered pulses for each cycle of tone. A selected portion of each cycle of tone of desired frequency coincides with the same pulses of each sequence, and these coincidences produce vectors of the same angular phase (corresponding to the pulse numbers). If the sum of a plurality of such vector outputs exceeds a certain threshold level, an output signal is produced to indicate that the proper tone frequency is received, and this output signal can activate the receiver. The selected portion of each cycle of tone of undesired frequency causes coincidences with different pulse numbers in each sequence, and these coincidences produce vectors of different phases, so that the vector sum does not reach the needed threshold level for receiver activation.
