Battery-powered telemeter includes FM transmitter and is light enough to be mounted on animal's head. Animal has complete freedom of movement while its neuron responses are transmitted to receiver in laboratory. Construction may also be applied to monitor blood pressure, body temperature, and different muscular signals.
Improved electrical spot terminal has been developed which can be rigidly attached to terminal mounting board. Mounting board is bonded to epoxy board which in turn is bonded to printed circuit board with high temperature adhesive. Conductive lead is coupled between electrical terminal and circuit trace on circuit board. Shape is usually clover-leaf.
The economic aspects of Federal regulation of airlines are discussed. The problems involved in obtaining capital resources for airline operations and expansion are analyzed. The functions of various agencies and their impact on the economic status of the airlines are explained.
Thermocouple implanted in metal mass simulates heat transfer characteristics of connection which is to be soldered. Light signals indicate whether temperature is right, too high, or too low.
Pocket sized transmitter, frequency modulated by crystal derived tones, with integral loop antenna provides police with easy operating alert signal communicator which uses patrol car radio to relay signal. Communication channels are time shared by several patrol units.
Manned shuttle comprehensive optimization and targeting program (MASCOT)
Trajectory algorithm for complete trajectory from liftoff to landing with optimal control and onboard flight computer for use in manned space shuttle
Method utilizes a standard terminal lug, a braided wire passed through the barrel and overlapping the top of the lug, and a ferrule to clamp the end of the wire. Electrical connectors can be sterilized and visibly inspected for reliability.
Pressure-sensitive transducer, consisting of a series of spindle-supported electrically conductive metal washers connected to electrical sensing circuitry, determines the force exerted between a mounting bolt and nut on relatively fragile components.
Method of bonding materials to a flat surface eliminates the use of bolts to hold the pieces together. Two adhesives are used, the primary or permanent bonding material and a quick setting adhesive. No permanent after effects are left on the surfaces to which the materials are bonded.
