Long life, low cost ball valve, with lifted seals and cartridge type construction

Ball valve design incorporates modular construction in easy-to-install, easy-to-replace cartridge housing, and a system of cams to lift upstream and downstream seals away from the ball during rotation. Tests conducted on nitrogen tetroxide prove new valve to be more efficient than previous models in preventing leakage.

Method for constructing periodic orbits in nonlinear dynamic systems

Method is modification of generalized Newton-Ralphson algorithm for analyzing two-point boundary problems. It constructs sequence of solutions that converge to precise dynamic solution in the sequence limit. Program calculates periodic orbits in either circular or elliptical restricted three-body problems.

Foldable patterns form construction blocks

Building blocks with interlocking tabs can be constructed from flat sheets of material using minimum of tools and equipment. Blocks can be used for storing and shipping supplies to remote areas, then filled with soil and stacked to form inhabitable structures which can be dismantled and reused.
