Use of acrylic sheet molds for elastomeric products

Molds constructed of acrylic sheet are more easily machined than metal, are transparent to ensure complete filling during injection, and have smooth surfaces free of contamination. Technique eliminates flashing on molded parts and mold release agents.

Heisman, R. M.↗

Miniature spray-painting booth

Transparent spray booth provides method for quality painting and repair of surfaces in clean room or other specialized environments. Overspray and virtually all contaminating vapor and odor can be eliminated. Touch-up painting is achieved with spray gun.

Investigation of an Optimum Detection Scheme for a Star-Field Mapping System

An investigation was made to determine the optimum detection scheme for a star-field mapping system that uses coded detection resulting from starlight shining through specially arranged multiple slits of a reticle. The computer solution of equations derived from a theoretical model showed that the greatest probability of detection for a given star and background intensity occurred with the use of a single transparent slit. However, use of multiple slits improved the system's ability to reject the detection of undesirable lower intensity stars, but only by decreasing the probability of detection for lower intensity stars to be mapped. Also, it was found that the coding arrangement affected the root-mean-square star-position error and that detection is possible with error in the system's detected spin rate, though at a reduced probability.

Fiscal output data produce versatile graphic-numeric charts

Refined computerized plotting system produces low-cost graphic-numeric charts that illustrate fiscal data on monthly incremental or cumulative basis, or both. Output is in the form of hard copy or microfilm, or visual-aid transparencies prepared from hard copy for rapid management status presentations.

Improved reflective coating for integrating spheres

Inorganic salts or oxide material is transparent in single-crystal form, has high refractive index, smooth cleavage, and chemical stability, is stable to radiations of interest, partially soluble and easily dispersed in liquid for spraying, and readily dried /cured/ with reasonable cohesion and adhesion, and has good mechanical stability.
