Self-sealing shield for protection of micrometeorite penetration in propellant tank
Lightweight power-conditioning system for ion engines using energy-storage transformers for conversion, nondissipative regulation and protection
Film of beryllium fluoride protects beryllium against corrosion and stress corrosion cracking in water containing chloride ion concentrations. The film is formed by exposing the beryllium to fluorine gas at 535 degrees C or higher and makes beryllium suitable for space applications.
Coating protects newly developed magnesium-lithium alloys against corrosion. The procedure includes heating the ingots in a salt bath and rolling them to the desired sheet thickness. The black coating, which is tough though thin and ductile, is derived mainly from chromium.
Simple dismountable yoke protects construction workers on narrow steel I beams at high levels. The yoke engages the upper flat of the I beam and slides freely along it to permit freedom of movement to the worker while limiting his ability to fall by a harness attached to the yoke.
Electrical shorting cap provides pin alignment, protection from stray voltages, and inspection capabilities. A Teflon straightener insert is built in to overcome any problems with bent or misaligned pins. A clear plastic bottom allows for inspection of the presence and condition of the pins.
Stiffness matrix solution for shells of revolution possessing variable thickness heat protection
Carbon dioxide purge and thermal protection system for liquid hydrogen tanks of hypersonic aircraft, comparing with helium purge system
Swing arm carrier provides protection for flexible lines /fluid, electrical, RF/ connected to a test item that must be rotated through 360 degrees during test. It uses five gates riding on pivots to permit rotation of flexible lines through arcs of plus 180 degrees and minus 180 degrees.
Chamber observer suit visor protects the eyes and ears of the wearer while he is performing rescue operations during a fire. The visor is a simple curved sandwich of selected glass plates, gold coated polyester plastic film, and a dead air space, all mounted in an aluminum frame.
Sensing circuit detects when the output from a matrix is present and when it should be present. The circuit provides short circuit protection for a power distribution system where the selection of the driven load is accomplished by digital logic.
