Lattice column, made up of many individually collapsible sections connected in tandem, rapidly raises measuring instruments to a level appreciably above that where data is to be recorded and evaluated. The column may be collapsed by collapsing each section in sequence and is deployed by extending each section in sequence.
Breadboard and prototype models developed for solar constant measuring instrument
Optical measuring instrument flown on IMP satellite to monitor spacecraft contamination
Interplanetary field and particle instrument measurements of Mariner 4 mission
Matching measuring instruments to systems for minimum disturbance when instrument is connected
Interaction effects in matching measuring instrument to system so minimum disturbance is generated when instrument is connected
Solar constant and solar spectral irradiance measurements from high altitude research aircraft, discussing radiation measuring instruments
Surveyor 5 alpha particle backscattering instrument measurement, TV pictures of lunar surface elemental composition and magnetic and mechanical measurements
Three dimensional laser Doppler instrument measures both local mean and fluctuating gas velocity of air flow. Technique is used for measuring atmospheric wind velocity and turbulence. Under certain conditions liquid flows can be measured.
Modified version of Sievert's apparatus accurately calibrates low pressure measuring instruments. Metal-gas system is composed of hydrogen in two-phase equilibrium with erbium to obtain reproducible hydrogen pressures.
Parallel motion suspension device for measuring instruments
Instrument measures metabolic breathing rate and dynamics of human beings in atmospheres ranging from normal air to 100 percent oxygen at ambient pressures from 14.7 to 3.0 psia. Measurements are made at rest or performing tasks up to maximum physical capacity under either zero or normal gravity.
Radio astronomy studies including sensitive interferometers, digital correlators, and related measuring instruments also radar techniques for lunar topography
Development of method for improving signal to noise ratio and accuracy of Wheatstone bridge type radiation measuring instrument
Alpha and gamma radiation detectors and measuring instruments for semiconductor materials, process control, and devices
Measuring instrument for amorphous and polycrystalline materials resistivity and Seebeck coefficient as function of temperature and pressure
Instrument measures concentration of small particles in aqueous medium in terms of amount of light scattered and degree to which light transmission is attenuated. Sensitivity to small particles is optimized because both scattered and transmitted illumination levels are detected by photodiodes.
Bileaf lever detects small deformations by highly magnifying linear displacements. Device is applicable to force measuring instruments, pressure cells, temperature gages, existing strain gages, dial gages, or extensometers. Additional magnification is obtained by cementing a small mirror to mobile end of bileaf.
