A cesium iodide crystal is fused to the lithium fluoride faceplate of a photon scintillator image tube. The conventional silver chloride solder is then used to attach the faceplate to the metal support.
A connector for use in the thermocouple circuits which is silver-brazed to the metal thermocouple sheath on one end and crimped over the insulation of the flexible lead on the other, assures protection against breakage and abrasion. A moisture-proof insulating material is used to encapsulate the wire junctions.
To obtain high quality waveforms from a subject engaged in physical activity, an improved electrode assembly has been devised. This consists of a cup containing an electrically conductive paste and a silver electrode. The paste maintains contact between the skin and the plate.
A plastic holder, which retains a crystal blank with standard silvered contacts sandwiched between two copper contacts, protects the crystal against vibration during high acceleration and impact.
Brazing alloy of palladium, silver and silicon is used in brazing titanium to stainless steel without embrittling metals at the brazed interfaces.
Porous nickel mesh screen catalyst bed produces gas evolution in hydrogen peroxide thrust chambers used for attitude control of space vehicles. The nickel wire mesh disks in the catalyst bed are plated in rugose form with a silver-gold coating.
Silver 15 zinc brazing alloy avoids the liquid- metal stress cracking of base metals when applied to 347, 316, and 410 stainless steels and certain other alloys.
Silver electrodes treated with an anodizing electrolyte containing gelatin are used for long term monitoring of bioelectronic potentials in humans. The electrodes do not interact with perspiration, cause skin irritation, or promote the growth of bacteria.
Short sections of stainless steel tubing of slide-fit sizes fitted together and silver-soldered at the junctions form small-diameter tubing assemblies with accurately stepped-down dimensions. This method of fabrication eliminates the costly swaging operations formerly used.
External pressure band is used to bond aluminum alloy collars to large diameter, stainless steel rings. The band contracts while cooling and exerts pressure on the joint between the silver plated surfaces of the ring and collar which expand toward the band. This diffusion bonding by differential expansion minimizes aluminum deformation.
Hydrogen-oxidant galvanic cell removes small amounts of hydrogen gas continually released from equipment, such as vented silver-zinc batteries, in enclosed compartments where air venting is not feasible. These cells are used in satellite compartments.
Metal boot splices hard sheathed instrumentation cables used with high temperature strain gages and thermocouples. Silver brazing the conductors together, hermetically seals the splice. This boot is a highly reliable sealed splice which is equally effective at cryogenic temperatures, high temperatures, nuclear environments, and combinations of the above.
Method for preparing copper-cadmium and silver- cadmium cermet alloys without cadmium loss - evaluation of breaking electric contacts and collector plates
Application of gallium phosphide crystals for hot-electron cold cathode research - life tests for silver-barium oxide phototubes - surface film, semiconductor, and vacuum requirements
Life cycle test data on nickel-cadmium and silver- cadmium battery cells
Thickness of gold, silver and copper thin films determined, using measurements of resistance and Hall voltage
Water-cooled, silver-infiltrated tungsten electrode has twice the operating lifetime of the pure tungsten electrode used in plasma jet generators. This electrode reduces the erosion rate, ensures excellent heat transfer, and reduces thermal stresses.
Feed-through device connects RF power to an RF coil in a vacuum chamber. The coil and leads are water cooled and vacuum tight seals are provided at the junctions. The device incorporates silver soldered copper tubes, polytetrafluoroethylene electrical insulators, and O-ring vacuum seals.
