Tool facilitates installation of Marmon clamps
Adjustable tool facilitates the installation of Marmon clamps. It provides sufficient mechanical advantage to force the clamps into place, permitting one man operation. Two handles provide the major leverage, and a pivoting arm with a slot enables snap-out action.

Portable fixture facilitates pressure testing of instrumentation fittings
Portable fixture facilitates pressure testing to detect possible leaks in instrumentation fittings mounted on tank bulkheads. It uses a vacuum cup which seals a pressure regulator adapter around one side of the fitting to be pressure tested. Leakage is detected with a gas sniffer.

Fixture facilitates helium leak testing of pipe welds
Fixture facilitates inspection testing of circumferential pipe welds for vacuum tightness, using helium gas as a leakage tracer in conjunction with a mass spectrometer. It consists of a split rubber torus and a mating clamping ring with a vacuum hose fitting.

Cable clamp bolt fixture facilitates assembly in close quarters
Cable clamp bolt holding fixture facilitates forming of electrical cable runs in limited equipment space. The fixture engages the threads of the short clamp bolt through the clamp and maintains tension against clamp tendency to open while the operator installs the nut without difficulty.

Polystyrene cryostat facilitates testing tensile specimens under liquid nitrogen
Lightweight cryostat made of expanded polystyrene reduces eccentricity in a tensile system being tested under liquid nitrogen. The cryostat is attached directly to the tensile system by a special seal, reducing misalignment effects due to cryostat weight, and facilitates viewing and loading of the specimens.

High-pressure gas facilitates calibration of turbine flowmeters for liquid hydrogen
Nitrogen gas at a pressure of 60 atmospheres and ambient temperature facilitates the calibration of turbine flowmeters used for monitoring the flow of liquid hydrogen in cryogenic systems. Full-scale calibration factors can be obtained to an accuracy of 0.4 percent.

Graphite cloth facilitates vacuum evaporation of silicon monoxide
Woven graphite cloth facilitates the vacuum deposition of thin films of silicon monoxide on substrate surfaces. The cloth serves both as a container and electric heating element for the silicon monoxide. It minimizes and prevents the silicon monoxide particle ejection, provides uniform heat distribution, and cools rapidly by radiation.

Gun facilitates adhesive bonding of studs to surfaces
Gun facilitates adhesive bonding of thermoplastic-backed studs to smooth, hard surfaces. Such studs can be used for mounting loads where defacement with drilled holes cannot be tolerated. These studs can be easily removed by softening the plastic bonding with heat from the gun.

Inflatable bladder to facilitate handling of heavy objects - A concept
Inflatable bladder facilitates the removal of heavy, highly finished metal parts from tote boxes or shipping containers. The proposed concept permits removal without danger of damage to the parts or injury to handling personnel.

Tools made of ice facilitate forming of soft, sticky materials
Tools made of ice facilitate the forming or shaping of materials that are soft and sticky in the uncured state. The low-temperature of the ice slows the curing of the material, extending the working time available before setup. Handling problems are eliminated because the material does not adhere to the tool, and the melting ice serves as a lubricant.

An interactive graphics system to facilitate finite element structural analysis
The characteristics of an interactive graphics systems to facilitate the finite element method of structural analysis are described. The finite element model analysis consists of three phases: (1) preprocessing (model generation), (2) problem solution, and (3) postprocessing (interpretation of results). The advantages of interactive graphics to finite element structural analysis are defined.

Facilitation of the growth of protein crystals by heterogeneous/epitaxial nucleation
A preliminary exploration has been made of the effect of inorganic crystals on the nucleation of protein crystals. Four representative proteins were crystallized by the vapor diffusion technique in the presence of fifty species of inorganic crystals. A substantial decrease in critical supersaturation was caused by thirty nucleants for canavalin and by seven to fifteen nucleants for the other proteins. Several cases of anomalous morphology were observed, as well as one instance of epitaxy, i.e., lysozyme on apophyllite. It has thus been shown that inorganic crystals can be used as heterogeneous nuclei or epitaxial substrates for facilitating reliable and controlled nucleation in automated protein crystal growth experiments.

Program Facilitates Distributed Computing
KNET computer program facilitates distribution of computing between UNIX-compatible local host computer and remote host computer, which may or may not be UNIX-compatible. Capable of automatic remote log-in. User communicates interactively with remote host computer. Data output from remote host computer directed to local screen, to local file, and/or to local process. Conversely, data input from keyboard, local file, or local process directed to remote host computer. Written in ANSI standard C language.

Development of a task analysis tool to facilitate user interface design
A good user interface is one that facilitates the user in carrying out his task. Such interfaces are difficult and costly to produce. The most important aspect in producing a good interface is the ability to communicate to the software designers what the user's task is. The Task Analysis Tool is a system for cooperative task analysis and specification of the user interface requirements. This tool is intended to serve as a guide to development of initial prototypes for user feedback.
