摘要:
An oxidation protection coating for metal substrate surfaces. The coating, according to a preferred embodiment, comprises an initial or first layer of a glass-ceramic, such as a barium aluminosilicate composed chiefly of baria, silica and alumina; or mullite, composed of silica-alumina or, alternatively, baria-silica. Titanium dioxide, nickel oxide or SnO.sub.2 can be added. The next layer of the coating is comprised of alumina or silicon carbide. The third or final layer is comprised of a thin layer of silica or a high-silica material, e.g., a silica containing 4% B.sub.2 O.sub.3. For a thicker third layer, particles of a dark solid, such as boron silicide, ferrous oxide, ferric oxide, nickel oxide, manganese dioxide, carbon or silicon carbide, can be incorporated. The three-layer coating provides high emittance and low catalytic activity for the recombination of oxygen and nitrogen, as well as being a hydrogen diffusion barrier.

A compact diffuser for recovering pressure from a supersonic flow with boundary layers. Sharp splicer plates near the wails form boundary layer scoops and separate the flow into an inner coreflow chapel and outer chambers containing small supersonic ejector nobles. The coreflow without boundary layers undergoes a single near-normal shock to recover pressure. The boundary layers are pumped to the recovery pressure in the outer ejector chambers. The subsonic part of the boundary layer flow to the outer chambers can be choked against boundary layer scoop inlet corners to isolate the upstream flow. The leading edge angle of the splicers may be selected to help induce coreflow shocking.

Noise may be reduced or eliminated from a digital sawtooth signal representing the phase of a periodic signal. This may be done precisely, even when inexpensive fixed-point arithmetic is used. In one aspect of the invention, the input signal (noise plus true signal) 12 is filtered to produce, in succession: (a) mod one differentiated noise plus slope of true phase signal 28; (b) mod one differentiated noise plus slope of residual phase signal (true phase signal minus estimated slope of true phase signal) 36; (c) mod one differentiated noise 46; (d) estimated noise 62; and (e) smoothed phase signal 72. In a second aspect, a noisy phase signal 12 is extracted from a first arbitrary periodic signal and the above steps are used to generate a noise-reduced phase signal 72. The noise-reduced phase signal 72 is then used to generate a second arbitrary periodic signal of the same frequency.
摘要:
An apparatus for attenuating traveling wave reflections from a surface, due to an impedance mismatch between the surface and free space. The apparatus includes a resistive element having an impedance between that of the surface and free space. The resistive element is positionable relative to the surface so as to minimize the impedance mismatch between the surface and free space. The resistive element is preferably a resistively graded element, which includes a forward end with an impedance approaching the impedance of the surface. An aft end of the resistively graded element has a high impedance relative to free space. The aft end is positionable sufficiently distant from the surface so as to minimize any traveling wave reflection due to impedance mismatch between the surface and free space.

The tool comprises the first step of providing a first software component, serving as a timing element, for receiving global synchronization commands as input and issuing global simulation scheduler task dispatch commands as output. A second software component is provided, serving as a global simulation scheduler, for receiving the global simulation scheduler task dispatch commands as input, synchronizing discrete event model and continuous model task dispatch as a function of simulation time, and issuing local simulation scheduler task dispatch commands as output. At least a single third software component is provided, serving as a local simulation scheduler, for receiving the local simulation scheduler task dispatch commands as input and issuing local simulation task execution commands as output. The combination of these steps provides a processing environment wherein the local simulation task execution commands invoke user supplied simulation application tasks in a time synchronized manner.

The identifiable bullet includes a jacket having sidewalls and a rear base; a bullet core contained within the jacket, the bullet core comprising a rear end; and, an identification member positioned between the rear base and the rear end. The invention provides an inexpensive method to add identification members to bullets that will remain legible following cartridge discharge, bullet impact and post firing environments.

In the construction of cylindrical tanks having end domes wherein the domes are attached by stir friction welding, a wagon wheel is placed inside the tank at the interface of the tank cylinder and the dome such that it provides backup support for the pressure exerted by the stir friction welding tool and strengthens the weld area and the tank by being welded into the tank by the stir friction welding process.

The sacrificial tube shock attenuation device services as a deformable energy absorbing system designed to be employed between a bumper receiving a potentially destructive force and a payload which is to be protected from the force. The device is composed of a tube assembly running through and aligning apertures of a maul, or series of mauls, which is (are) attached to the bumper and the apertures of a pair of stators, or multiple pairs of stators, that each maul is situated between. The stators are attached to the payload. When overloaded the maul(s) moves relative to the stators causing a misalignment of their respective apertures resulting in deformation of the tube assembly. A simple tube assembly may be comprised of a single tube. A more complex tube assembly may be comprised of multiple tubes within tubes depending on the anticipated overload. In a multi-tube assembly the inner tubes receive the load consecutively as the misalignment of the apertures of the maul and stators progresses. A rod may be inserted into the innermost tube for safety in case the load is high enough to sever each of the tubes in the tube assembly. The rod would stop further misalignment of the apertures of the maul and stators thereby positively limiting stroke. The sacrificial tube shock attenuation device absorbs shocks such that it takes increasing force to deform the tubes as the deformation process progresses.
