Test device using a mandrel with a collapsible linkage assembly enables a fluid flow sensor to be properly positioned in a restricted passage by external manipulation. This device is applicable to the combustion chamber of a rocket motor.
Self-sealing closure enables small amounts of specific biochemical solutions to be withdrawn from or added to containers in inaccessible or small spaces. It uses a self-sealing septum of a silicone elastomer through which a hypodermic needle can be inserted.

Double precision ephemeris package for IBM 360/95 in FORTRAN with stored planetary positions and velocities
Decoder circuit with complementary-symmetry circuit configuration composed of MOS and n-p-n bipolar devices minimizes power consumption. Emitter-follower drive scheme results in low power dissipation and high speed operation.
Broad beam Tracking Data Relay Satellite /TDRS/ for manned and automated spacecraft using VHF bands
Communications satellite system uses pseudo-random time frequency multiplexing technique for extracting real-time meteorological data from great number of isolated weather stations /data collection platforms/ situated randomly throughout the world.
Ratio of intensity of solar protons for north polar cap to that of south polar cap, as observed by Explorer 33 and 35 satellites
A summary is provided of all proton events observed with OGO/4 and observed flux profiles for several events. Pertinent data are indicated relating to the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field. The events whose profiles are presented are divided into three classes: EDP events (normally associated with co-rotating features), solar flare events, and events having characteristics of both EDP events and flare events (class C events). A description of these classes of events and the criteria used to distinguish between EDP events and flare events are discussed. In addition, the 1 December 1967 EDP event and the 2 November 1967 solar flare event are discussed in some detail. Accompanying the profiles of each event is a brief list of notable observational features of the event. Events are presented chronologically.
With this system, it is possible to sample and generate two or more simultaneous formats; one can be transmitted to ground station in real time, and other is stored for later transmission. Sensor output comparison data, plus information to control format, compression algorithm, and allowable degree of sensor activity, are stored in memory.
Installing and extracting component of tool is plastic tubing with inside diameter which provides snug fit over bulb. Other components, which provide sturdiness and ease of operation, consist of metal tube, with collar near one end, and plunger, with knob on one end and Teflon tip on the other.
Energetic solar proton observations in the interplanetary medium by Explorer 33 and Explorer 35 and over the polar caps by Injun 5 during the period from September 1968 through March 1970 have been examined in detail. The solar proton intensities observed over the polar regions were compared with the interplanetary intensities on an absolute basis. The high polar latitude (HPL) proton intensities tracked the magnetic field aligned interplanetary intensities well (solar-antisolar intensities as determined from the sectored Explorer data). The tracking was in agreement with the open magnetosphere model about 90% of the time - i.e., the intensities observed on the HPL magnetic lines of force, which would be connected to magnetic lines of force from the sun in an interconnected geomagnetic and interplanetary magnetic field, were in agreement with the maximum intensity of the interplanetary proton pitch angle distribution. The intensities observed at the HPL region of the opposite polar cap were in agreement with the minimum intensity of the interplanetary pitch angle distribution. The low polar latitude intensities generally tracked the maximum interplanetary intensity very well.
Program performs traditional file creation, maintenance, and output. MARC II compatible data records can be added, changed, or deleted in bibliographic file.
A line by line description is given of sessions using the set-theoretic data system (STDS) to interact with technical data bases. The data bases contain data from actual applications at NASA Langley Research Center. The report is meant to be a tutorial document that accompanies set processing in a network environment.
