An air pressure regulator includes a cylindrical rotor with a hollow interior. The thin walls of the rotor have windows which overlap inlet and exhaust windows in the housing. The rotor is rotated progressively by a stepper motor in response to computer determination of required pressure. The system is used to inflate a pilot's anti-G suit.

A digital signal transmission channel degradation monitor for determining the error rate in a received data signal includes circuitry to generate an eye pattern signal for the received data signal which eye pattern signal is applied to a grid containing a number of cells defining regions in an ideal eye pattern. Each cell contains circuity to count the number of time an eye trace is located in that particular cell over a predetermined period of time. A number of cells within the ideal eye pattern area are grouped to define a predetermined pseudo error region. The number of times an eye trace enters into that error region over a predetermined time provides an indication of the generalized pseudo error rate for the transmission system. In addition, the number of times an eye trace is located in particular cells through the grid over a predetermined period of time can determine the type of stress that the transmission system is undergoing. This detector can be automated to determine both the error rate and type of stress for the data transmission system.

Initiation of a cartridge in the chamber of a firearm is achieved by providing a port in the chamber through which high pressure gas from a firearm barrel strikes the primer of the cartridge and activates the primer. In one form, the gas driving a projectile through the barrel initiates a plurality of secondary cartridges.

Inflating a fighter-pilot's anti-G suit to the correct pressure is facilitated by the pressure regulator design. Using Preview Control, the movement of the control stick is used to predict what the G-force on the aircraft will be in the time ahead. A computer determines what pressure is needed in the suit to safeguard the pilot at that G-force. The size of the air-flow aperture in the regulator is defined by overlapping windows in the housing and rotor of the regulator. The rotor is moved to give the correct overlap by means of a servo motor or stepper motor, which positions the rotor in response to the computer output. The very fast, stable, response of the regulator to the computer input enables the suit pressure to follow the G-forces predicted by Preview Control with great accuracy.

A hydraulic power system for a utility vehicle having an engine with a crankshaft. The system features first and second rotationally-driven power generating devices, one of which is a hydraulic pump and the other of which is an alternator and one of which is a hydraulic pump. The first device has a first rotational input for operative coupling to the crankshaft for driven rotation thereby. A secondary shaft has an input end portion arranged for rotational coupling to a rotationally driven member of the first device and an output end portion arranged for rotational coupling to a second rotational input of the second device for driving thereof under driven operation of the first rotationally-driven power generating device by the crankshaft. Higher power output of increased reliability is provided over prior art add-on hydraulic solutions using electric-over-hydraulic power packs.

A Multiple-Field-Of-View (MFOV) lidar is used to characterize the size and concentration of low concentration of bioaerosol particles. The concept relies on the measurement of the forward scattered light by using the background aerosols at various distances at the back of the sub-visible cloud. It also relies on the subtraction of the background aerosol forward scattering contribution and on the partial attenuation of the first order backscattering. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the MFOV lidar can measure with a good precision the effective diameter of low concentration bioaerosol clouds.
