Semiconductor mechanical sensors

Piezojunction effect and applications in transducers, showing needle and mesa configurations as most promising methods

Monteith, L. K.↗

A study of rotor blade-vortex interaction

Surface pressure and lift measurement on model lifting rotor blade as function of vortex interaction, using flush mounted pressure transducers

Mccormick, B. W., Jr.↗

Study aids accuracy of turbopump axial thrust analysis

Test program to verify theory used in calculating axial thrust uses turbopump instrumented with /a/ proximity transducers for measuring shaft position, /b/ a strain gage thrust bearing carrier to measure axial thrust, and /c/ internal pressure taps to define component pressure gradients used in thrust calculations.

Nielson, C. E.↗

System accurately controls pressure in cryogenic tanks

High-resolution differential pressure transducer senses very small positive or negative pressure variations in the cryogenic tank relative to absolute reference pressure. System is useful in calibrating instruments where working fluid must be maintained at closely controlled temperature, or in processes requiring very fine pressure control.

Kirchmeier, W. E., Jr.↗

Portable low-frequency vibration measuring and recording system

Information gathering system measures and records vibrations which affect personnel comfort in space, air, and surface vehicles. Three vibration transducers with mutually perpendicular axes control the frequency output of voltage controlled oscillators /VCO/. Outputs of VCO'S are multiplexed and then recorded on one track of stereo tape recorder.

Clevenson, S. A.↗

Ultrasonic scanning system for in-place inspection of brazed-tube joints

System detects defects of .051 cm in diameter and larger. System incorporates scanning head assembly including boot enclosed transducer, slip ring assembly, drive mechanism, and servotransmitter. Ultrasonic flaw detector, prototype recorder, and special recorder complete system.

Haralson, H. S.↗

Bootstrap Unloader-Patent

Bootstrap unloading circuits for sampling transducer voltage sources without drawing current

Pfiffner, H. J.↗
