Reliability and failure modes of adaptive restoring circuit module Transor
Minimum effort restoration of perturbed system to equilibrium state defined as time varying function of instantaneous state of system
Single, simple exclusive-or logic connective eliminates excessive hardware and the number of interconnections between logic modules. This circuit performs the necessary switching for the exclusive-or operation and amplifies, restores, and inverts the signal.
Mathematical formulas are used to determine if, and to what extent, an instrumentation system that has been exposed to the elements should be dried out to restore minimum permissible leakage resistance to ground. Formulas are also derived and used for an intermediate number of systems that are exposed to moisture penetration.
When a gas or vapor is allowed to come to equilibrium with a solid surface, the concentration of gas molecules is always found to be greater in the immediate vicinity of the surface than in the free gas phase, regardless of the nature of the gas or of the surface. The process by which this surface excess is formed is termed adsorption. In any solid, the atoms at the surface are subject to unbalanced forces of attraction normal to the surface plane; the balance of forces is partially restored by the adsorption of gas molecules. If the forces responsible for adsorption are of van der Waals type, the process is called physical adsorption. Furthermore, if the solid (and its surface) are maintained at relatively low temperatures (say 50°K or below), the term cryosorption is used.
Damping technique effect on performance of gravity-gradient satellite stabilization, noting means of creating restoring torques
Quick-opening, intermittent flow valve requires a small amount of electrical energy to open and which closes by the restoring action of a rubber stop. This eddy current disk valve opens in less than 100 microseconds and takes only 10 joules of energy.
Quick-opening lightweight solenoid hammer valve requires a low amount of electrical energy to open, and closes by the restoring action of the mechanical springs. This design should be applicable to many quick-opening requirements in fluid systems.
Mathematical model for representing restoring force in hereditary springs showing hysteretic damping
Unique, inflated, expandable socks are attached within the inflated chamber of a raft or a float in such a way that collapse of the chamber wall through damage, causes the adjacent sock to expand and restore the original configuration.
Bearing designs, which shape the surface to create artificial fluid-film wedges in the absence of any applied radial load, generate radial restoring forces to keep journals from whirling. Helical- or herringbone-grooved journals or rotors show most promise of stable operation, with no sacrifice in load capacity.
Modified spectrometer system with a low-noise preamplifier reduces rate-dependent distortions at high counting rates, 25,000 counts per second. Pole-zero cancellation minimizes pulse undershoots due to multiple time constants, baseline restoration improves resolution and prevents spectral shifts.
Multichannel analyzer, used with a gating system incorporating pole-zero compensation, pile-up rejection, and baseline-restoration, achieves good resolution at high rates of input. It improves resolution, reduces tailing and rate-contributed continuum, and eliminates spectral shift.
Blood volume in rats exposed to high altitude and deacclimated at ambient pressure, noting changes and control level restoration
Amplifier and stretcher system, which minimizes thermal effects and compensates for repetition-rate effects, maintains resolution levels in spectrum analysis. An additional inverting amplifier is used in the system to provide a noiseless charge restorer.
Vertical steel tubular pins restore the shear strength of honeycomb panels and improve the quality of the repaired panel. New repair method eliminates diagonal pins. Vertical pins are welded to face sheets, forming ''Vierendeel Truss'' arrangement to transmit shear loads.
