A filter system for mechanical pumps is designed with a baffle assembly that rotates in a circulating oil bath which traps destructive particles. This prevents severe damage to the pump and is serviceable for long periods before it requires cleaning.
Nimbus satellite - electrical and mechanical subsystems
Mechanical tethering system using angular momentum to retrieve astronaut separated from space vehicle
Delayed vent valve system in a mechanical backing pump in a vacuum system allows the pneumatic foreline valve to seal before the pump vent opens. The system is designed to be fail-safe and operate even though there is loss of electrical power.
Mechanical features of 25.4 mm light gas gun model launcher and performance data for developmental firings
Heat exchange, mechanical separation, surface tension, and dielectrophoretic methods of separating vapor from liquid at zero gravity for vapor venting
Design considerations for mechanical configuration of Mariner Mars 1964 spacecraft
Partial restraining device for rats in operant conditioning studies
Computer programs perform landing stability studies of mechanical impact system designs for advanced spacecraft. The programs consider variation in spacecraft vertical and horizontal velocity, attitude and orientation, shock strut load-stroke characteristics, and ground coefficient of friction.
Rolamite, a mechanical suspension system, provides substantial reductions in friction in the realm of extremely low bearing pressures. In addition, rolamite devices are easily microminiaturized, are extremely tolerant of production variations and are inherently capable of virtually all functions to construct most electromechanical devices.
