New shield for gamma-ray spectrometry

Gamma-ray shield that can be evacuated, refilled with a clean gas, and pressurized for exclusion of airborne radioactive contaminants effectively lowers background noise. Under working conditions, repeated evacuation and filling procedures have not adversely affected the sensitivity and resolution of the crystal detector.

Brar, S. S.↗

Digital-voltage curve generator

Curve generator capable of producing precisely repeatable curve for any single-valued function of voltage versus time uses digital approach, implemented by means of clocked feedback shift register, large scale integrated circuit diode matrix comprising about 12,000 diodes, counter, and digital-to-analog converter.

Perlman, M.↗

Data relay satellite phased array

S band communications repeater using retrodirective phased array on synchronous altitude data relay satellite /DRS/ for intersatellite and ground links

Dod, L. R.↗

Multiple shutters for a stereoscopic camera

Focal plane shutter assembly composed of three mechanically separate rotary shutters permits exposure of three separated photographic films simultaneously with exposure time of 0.08 second. Exposure time is repeatable within 2 percent, uniformity of exposure over all three films is within 5 percent.

Marxer, L. W.↗

Methyl alcohol used as penetrant inspection medium for porous materials

Porous material thoroughly wetted with alcohol shows persistent wet line or area at locations of cracks or porosity. Inspection is qualitative and repeatable, but is used quantitatively with select samples to grade density variations in graphite blocks. Photography is employed to achieve permanent record of results.

Hendron, J. A.↗

Improved sheath removal technique for very small thermocouples

Standard ''weldmatic'' spotwelder and tweezer-type welding head burns and vaporizes sheath material to expose undamaged thermocouple wire. Firing is repeated to remove additional sheathing and after three or four firings electrodes require cleaning.

Mueller, R.↗

Shutter design for stereoscopic camera

Shutter design consists of two axially mounted spring driven rotating blades with two lenses mounted between the blades. Features include excellent repeatability and flash synchronization. Design permits packaging in small volume and is beneficial where focal distance, magnification, and exposure time are fixed.
