The visual observation of comets

Comets structural features via visual observations, emphasizing inner coma structures and expanding envelopes surrounding nucleus

A visual-display and storage device

Memory and display device uses cathodochromic material to store visual information and fast phosphor to recall information for display and electronic processing. Cathodochromic material changes color when bombarded with electrons, and is restored to its original color when exposed to light of appropiate wavelength.

Human visual response to nuclear particle exposures

Experiments with accelerated helium ions were performed in an effort to localize the site of initial radiation interactions in the eye that lead to light flash observations by astronauts during spaceflight. The character and efficiency of helium ion induction of visual sensations depended on the state of dark adaptation of the retina; also, the same events were seen with different efficiencies and details when particle flux density changed. It was concluded that fast particles cause interactions in the retina, particularly in the receptor layer, and thus give rise to the sensations of light flashes, streaks, and supernovae.

Development of visual-display aid to air navigation

The design, development, and fabrication of a visual display aid to air navigation are discussed. The display will locate an aircraft on a standard navigational chart when activated by two independent directional signals. The display consists of a radial pattern of electrically conductive line pairs, liquid crystal material contained between the line pairs, and addressing and activating electronics. The application of a voltage to the addressed line pair will cause the liquid crystal to become white in color, thus indicating the direction to the selected VOR station.
