    摘要: A cryogenic liquid heat exchanger system has a subatmospheric pressure reservoir, a tube, and an initial fluid ejector. The sub-atmospheric pressure reservoir has a vacuum exhaust. The tube extends through the reservoir. The initial fluid ejector has a suction chamber inlet that is functionally connected to the reservoir vacuum exhaust. The system may have a plurality of fluid ejectors connected to one or more exhausts either in series or parallel. The initial fluid ejector may receive one or more pressurized fluid streams, and the streams may be steam. A process for generating sub-atmospheric pressures in a cryogenic fluid heat exchanger reservoir includes the step of discharging an initial fluid stream into an initial fluid ejector having a suction chamber functionally connected to an exhaust of the reservoir. A process for generating sub-atmospheric pressures in a cryogenic fluid heat exchanger reservoir includes the step of using a fluid ejector to reduce the pressure in the reservoir. In either process, cooling cryogenic fluid is directed through the reservoir. The cooling cryogenic fluid may be liquid nitrogen or liquid hydrogen. In either process, an incoming cryogenic fluid stream is directed through a tube that extends through the reservoir. The incoming cryogenic fluid may be liquid oxygen or liquid hydrogen, or any other suitable cryogenic fluid.

    摘要: The amplifier assembly includes a driver bellows and an output bellows. The driver bellows includes a first end and a second end. The first end is positionable adjacent a microactuator. The output bellows includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the output bellows is securely attached to the second end of the driver bellows. The second end of the output bellows is positionable adjacent a device to be actuated. The output bellows has a smaller volume than the driver bellows. Each bellows is filled with a working fluid. When the driver bellows is compressed by the microactuator the fluid displacement of the driver bellows is translated to the output bellows causing a displacement in the output bellows equal to the fluid displaced in the driver bellows. Thus, an amplified output stroke is provided of the desired magnitude.

    摘要: A radar system and method for obtaining low sum and difference side lobe patterns from a phased array antenna comprising radiators distributed amongst four quadrants A, B, C, and D. The quadrants are arranged in a clockwise order of A, B, D, and C. Each quadrant is further divided into an inner portion and an outer portion. The monopulse sum pattern is determined by adding signals received by radiators in the A quadrant, B quadrant, C quadrant, and D quadrant. The elevation difference pattern is determined by subtracting a CD sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the C outer portion and the D outer portion from an AB sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the A outer portion and the B outer portion. The azimuth difference pattern is determined by subtracting a BD sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the B outer portion and the D outer portion from an AC sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the A outer portion and the C outer portion.

    摘要: A method is provided for hypersonic laminar flow control which uses the effect of boundary layer stabilization by an ultrasonically transparent coating. A hypersonic body surface is covered by the coating which absorbs the flow disturbance energy and does not trip the boundary layer flow. In one embodiment, the coating is made from a porous material of regular structure containing cylindrical blind microholes normal to the body surface. In another embodiment, the porous material has random distributions of pore shape and orientation. Extraction of the flow disturbance energy by pores causes stabilization of the boundary layer on the coated surface and leads to laminar-turbulent transition delay. The method can be used to decrease the aerodynamic drag of hypersonic vehicles and reduce heat transfer on vehicle surfaces.

    摘要: A process is provided for protecting, containing, and/or completing fragile microelectronic and microelectromechanical (MEM) structures on a low conductivity substrate during anodic wafer bonding of a covering wafer. The wafer includes raised areas that contact the substrate at selected bonding regions to support the wafer as a covering structure over the substrate. The covering wafer includes additional raised areas, such as pillars or posts, that contact selected electric circuit lines on the substrate to form temporary shorts through the wafer. During anodic bonding of the wafer to the substrate, the temporary shorts maintain the connected circuit lines and microstructures at nearly the same electric potential to prevent unwanted arcing and electrostatic forces that could damage the fragile structures. The pillars or posts can be formed at the same time as the raised bonding areas, but on unwanted and otherwise unused portions of the covering wafer. Anodic bonding produces only weak bonds between the wafer posts and the metallic conductor material of the circuit lines. After anodic bonding, the unwanted portions of the covering wafer can be removed to leave covering structures over the selected microstructures. Because of the weak bonds, removal of the unwanted portions of the wafer also removes the posts and eliminates the temporary shorts, with no additional processing needed to electrically separate the circuit lines on the substrate.

    摘要: The invention is a process for simultaneously improving at least two mechanical properties of mill-processed (.alpha.+.beta.) titanium alloy, which may or may not contain silicon, which includes steps of heat treating the mill-processed titanium alloy such that the (.alpha.+.beta.) microstructure of said alloy is transformed into an (.alpha.+.alpha..sub.2 +.beta.) microstructure, preferably containing no silicides. The heat treating steps involve subjecting the mill-processed titanium alloy to a sequence of thermomechanical process steps, and the mechanical properties which are simultaneously improved include (a) tensile strength at room, cryogenic, and elevated temperatures; (b) fracture toughness; (c) creep resistance; (d) elastic stiffness; (e) thermal stability; (f) hydrogen embrittlement resistance; (g) fatigue; and (h) cryogenic temperature embrittlement resistance. As a consequence of the process, the (.alpha.+.alpha..sub.2 +.beta.) microstructure contains equiaxed alpha phase strengthened with .alpha..sub.2 precipitates coexisting with lamellar alpha-beta phase, where the .alpha..sub.2 precipitates are confined totally to the equiaxed primary alpha phase. The invention also encompasses a composition of matter produced by the inventive process, especially one comprising a titanium alloy having an (.alpha.+.alpha..sub.2 +.beta.) microstructure.

    摘要: An optics assembly for observing a panoramic scene comprises a plurality of optical elements. A flat reflective element redirects light from a panoramic scene. A plurality of refractive elements, successively receive the redirected light from the reflective element and create a real pupil. An optical relay system receives light from a last of the plurality of refractive elements. The optical relay system establishes the focal length of the optics assembly, corrects optical aberrations produced at the real pupil, corrects field aberrations and produces an annular image on a flat focal plane assembly. The optics assembly produces a small F-number at field angles perpendicular to the optical axis of the optics assembly over a panoramic scene.

    摘要: The in-phase channel 28 of a complex demodulated resonator data output signal 12 should contain all of the sensed information, and the quadrature-phase channel 32 should contain none of it. This will not happen if the phase of the reference signal 14 is incorrect. The phase may be adjusted by first filtering each demodulated channel with a respective low-pass dc-blocked filter 34, 38 which passes only the frequencies of the sensed information. If the sensed information gets through on both channels, then there will be a non-zero cross-correlation between the channels. This cross-correlation can be servoed to a minimum by use of a feedback signal 22. Doing so will cause all of the sensed information to be in one channel 28, and diagnostic information to be in the other channel 32.

    摘要: The vehicle includes a fuselage; a plurality of lifting surfaces attached to the fuselage having control devices attached thereto; and, an articulated propulsion system attached to the fuselage. The propulsion system includes a duct assembly pivotally connected to the fuselage. The duct assembly includes a duct and a propeller assembly mounted within the duct. A motor assembly is connected to the propeller assembly. The duct assembly may be positioned in a substantially vertical position to provide sufficient direct vertical thrust for vertical take-off and landing and may be directed in other positions to provide a varying spectrum of take-off and landing configurations, as well as a substantially horizontal position for high speed horizontal flight. Use of the control surface in the ducted propulsion assembly provides VTOL capability in a very small environment. The environment is not required to be prepared in any special manner. During horizontal flight, the wings provide the lift, which is more efficient than a propeller providing lift. The present invention takes advantage of a center line propulsion, so that there are no asymmetric propulsion loads.

    摘要: The optical coupler includes first, second and third port assemblies and a deflecting element. The first port assembly receives a first optical signal, the first port assembly including a first lensing element. The second port assembly emits a predetermined, transmitted portion of the first optical signal. The second port assembly includes a second lensing element. The deflecting element is positioned between the first and second port assemblies. The third port assembly includes a third lensing element. The deflecting element and the third port assembly are so positioned and arranged such that a deflected portion of the first optical signal is deflected from the deflecting element and directed through the third port assembly. The predetermined, transmitted portion of the first optical signal is directed through the second port assembly without being deflected by the deflecting element. The transmitted and deflected portions of the first optical signal are expanded and collimated while passing through the optical coupler by appropriate positioning of the lensing elements to provide efficient and accurate control of the first optical signal.
