摘要:
A pen size dosimeter designed to be viewed longitudinally for reading dosage of neutron radiation and gamma radiation and that is reset by being charged through a conductor pin carried by a longitudinally compressible spring urged assembly near one end of the dosimeter but which may lose the correct dosage reading under shock and vibration conditions is improved by the addition of a novel latch for the spring-urged asembly to release the spring urged assembly to permit displacement for charging and to relatch when charging is terminated.

A ceramic-metal material system is fabricated by cold compressing separate adjacent volumes of different ceramic material or different particle sizes to form a porous ceramic compact; infiltrating each separate volume of the compact with a molten metal, the first separate volume of the compact being infiltrated with a metal having a higher melting point than the metal which infiltrates the second separate volume and forms an interface with the first infiltrated metal.

An adjustable tripod support for the firing tube of a mortar is provided with a digital type of fluidic control system responsive to sensing means which detect a predetermined amount of the azimuth and elevation components of the recoil displacement imparted to the tube during firing. In response to such detection, the fluidic control system functions elevation and aziumth pistons which automatically restore the firing tube to the previously selected sighting inclination. The compressed air required by the fluidic control system is stored in an accumulator arranged to be automatically replenished by the discharge gases generated in the mortar tube during the firing thereof. As the firing tube is subjected to recoil displacement, the rotation of a chordally slabbed control shaft associated therewith serves to unblock one of a pair of sensing orifices for activating the control system to provide the required restoration movements of the firing tube. The combination of chordal edges and sensing orifices in each sensing means can be adjusted to provide a given deadband zone through which each control shaft must be rotated before the respective restoration movement is imparted to the firing tube.

A resonant oscillator produces sonic oscillations from a steady fluid flow. The oscillator includes a stationary pointed sting or rod that extends outwardly from a symmetrical resonating cavity. An inward end of the cavity is closed by a diaphragm which oscillates, due to pressure variations in the cavity. The oscillating diaphragm can serve as a prime mover for mechanical mechanisms or an electrical transducer.

A fluidic battery activator utilizing the high temperature generated by a resonant tube placed within a supersonic fluidic stream. A projectile has a resonant tube located within it so that ram air will impinge upon the tube from a nozzle in the nose of the projectile causing oscillations which create a high temperature at the closed end of the resonant tube. The heat generated by the tube initiates operation of a battery activation system.

Barium salicylate and/or other organobarium salts, barium oxide, and organometallic salts of lanthanum, hafnium, and tantalum and oxides of the same are used as ballistic modifying means for solid propellants. The specific ballistic modifying means can be used as replacements for the lead, copper, etc., compounds currently employed as ballistic modifiers in solid propellants. The propellants containing the specified ballistic modifying means retain the highly desirable plateau-burning characteristics, pressure exponents, and temperature coefficients but are particularly attractive because they produce considerably less smoke during the burning thereof.
摘要:
A sabot and projectile ammunition round having a mismatched load transfer interface to eliminate interface stripping failures. The pitch of the sabot grooves, or threads are slightly larger than the pitch of the mating projectile grooves or threads. The initial contact only exists between the forwardmost tooth of the sabot and the projectile. When fired the powder pressure force causes shortening of the sabot grooves and lengthening of the projectile grooves. Thus the power pressure load is transferred from the sabot to the projectile by successive loading of respective sabot and projectile teeth.

A shock absorbent collar for a protective torso armor plate for human beings made of expanded plastic material. The expanded plastic is crushable and, therefore, impact absorbing. The collar protects the neck, chin, and face or other portions of the head of the wearer of the armor plate in case of sudden deceleration of the body of the wearer of the armor plate, which would shift upwardly in such event and in the absence of the collar would strike the neck or chin or other parts of the head of the wearer with damaging force.

1. A frequency diversity radar system comprising a source of pulses of recurring frequency, a source of relatively high power radio-frequency energy periodically energized into oscillations by said recurring pulses and adapted to be voltage tuned over a relatively wide range of frequencies, an antenna responsive to the output of said pulsed oscillations, a source of relatively low power continuous-wave radio-frequency energy adapted to be voltage tuned over said range of frequencies, means responsive to said recurring pulses for voltage tuning said radio-frequency energy sources whereby the respective frequency-outputs therefrom are instantaneously and simultaneously shifted to successive discrete frequencies by successive recurring pulses, means coupled between said sources whereby the output frequency of said low power source is maintained constant for the duration between a pair of successive recurring pulses at the frequency of said high power source due to the first of said succesive pair of pulses, a radar receiver adapted to receive echo signals and including local oscillator means for converting said received signals to a prescribed intermediate frequency, and means for heterodyning the successive frequency outputs from said low power source and said intermediate frequency whereby there is produced the local oscillator frequency to convert said received signals to said intermediate frequency.
