Coulometer battery state-of-charge indicator

Mercury-column electrochemical coulometer is a linear ampere-hour integrating device consisting of a sealed glass tube containing two columns of mercury separated by a gap containing an electrolyte. The drive circuit uses operational amplifier techniques to match nonlinear charge-discharge characteristics of an alkaline battery.

Electronic ripple indicator

Electronic circuit for monitoring excessive ripple voltage on dc power lines senses voltage variations from few millivolts to maximum of 10 volts rms. Instrument is used wherever power supply fluctuations might endanger system operations or damage equipment. Device is inexpensive and easily packaged in small chassis.

Davidson, J. K.↗

Calibration-interval adjustment indicator - A concept

Circuit, when used with decision table, permits relatively unskilled personnel to maintain effective quality control. Design determines required changes in calibration intervals. Interval readings are recorded to nearest integer, making high precision unnecessary. Specific required performance-history information is discussed.

Hedene, P. S.↗

Perload indicating turnbuckle

Low cost, easily manufactured turnbuckle was developed for applying a predetermined load on strap assemblies. Unit consists of sleeve and nut assembled on turnbuckle that is pulled to predetermined load in tension test machine.

Noncontacting measuring device to indicate deflection of turbopump internal rotating parts

Noncontacting, nondestructive techniques to measure vibrations and deflections of parts in future LOX and LH2 multistage turbopump prototypes are reported. The measurements include shaft vibration, vibration of turbine wheel and blades, blade clearance, vibration of impellers, value component flutter, and vibration of face seal components. Three techniques were selected for development: ultrasonic Doppler devices, flash X-ray, and light-pipe reflectance.
