Touchdown dynamics analyses for soft landing on Moon by leg-type spacecraft, accounting for all parameters
Spring-loaded clamp applies specific pressure to hold materials together during bonding, welding, and machining. The clamp has two adjustable legs terminating in suction cups for easy attachment to a surface.
Alignment tool facilitates spotting and cementing plastic pins on the true vertical to irregular concave and convex surfaces. The tool consists of a wood tripod with individually adjustable legs, a wood block with a hole for placing the pins and two spirit levels at a 90 degree angle for easy alignment.
Flux switching in multipath ferrimagnetic core materials - computational analyses for unloaded core, loaded core, core-diode-transistor binary counter, and loaded three-leg core
Pulsatile leg cuffs used in cardiovascular conditioning experiments on Gemini V and VII ASTRONAUTS to determine blood pressure and pulse rate changes
Metal knee hinge with an adjustable sleeve worn on the outside of a leg cast facilitates movement of the knee joint. This helps eliminate stiffness of the knee and eliminates bulkiness and adjustment difficulty.
Static seal permits compensation for flange separation and flange-groove tolerances without large seal-leg deflections.
Mechanical impact attenuation system for Apollo spacecraft provides stable land landing platform, noting deployed heat shields, extended legs, pneumatic bags, etc

Distillation apparatus in the form of a U tube supplies small amounts of pure cesium vapor at constant pressure to a thermionic converter. The upstream leg of the U tube is connected to a vacuum pump to withdraw noncondensable impurities, the bottom portion serves as a reservoir for the liquid cesium.
Pulsatile leg cuffs effectiveness in lessening postflight orthostatic intolerance and blood pooling in lower extremities of Gemini 5 and 7 astronauts
This volume of the NASA Planetary Flight Handbook contains trajectory data to aid the mission analyst in the planning of stopover missions to Mars that employ the Venus swingby mode. Compared to other mission modes, the Venus swingbys yield substantial reductions in propulsive velocity and Earth entry speed requirements when employed as part of a round trip stopover mission. Conversely, the swingbys are at best, of marginal utility for one-way missions. Consequently, this Handbook has been tailored expressly for use in the planning of round trip missions. The relevant charts, graphs, and tabular data are presented for the totality of such missions, i.e., in terms of total round trip mission duration and stopover time at Mars. Recognizing, however, that within the context of round trip missions the single-leg data can be of importance in certain phases of the mission analyses, all such data has been preserved on a master magnetic tape. Copies of this tape will be made available to interested organizations.
Soft landing spacecraft landing gear design for legged assemblies, discussing load, clearance and stability requirements
Automatic closed loop distortionless control of magnetic field modulation using light sensitive resistor as one leg of attenuator
Antidiuretic hormone /ADH/ and bradykinin effects on human thermal and cholinergic sweating after subdermal injection in forearm, abdomen and leg
System collects medical data directly from patients and permanently records and displays several parameters - electrocardiograph, electroencephalograph, heart rate, respiration rate, auscultatory blood pressure, leg circumference changes, body temperature, and time. Components and operation of the system are described.
Human renal function, electrolyte and water metabolism during bed rest with daily leg exercise
