System for a displaying at a remote station data generated at a central station and for powering the remote station from the central station

A system for displaying at a remote station data generated at a central station and for powering the remote station from the central station is presented. A power signal is generated at the central station and time multiplexed with the data and then transmitted to the remote station. An energy storage device at the remote station is responsive to the transmitted power signal to provide energizing power for the circuits at the remote station during the time interval data is being transmitted to the remote station. Energizing power for the circuits at the remote station is provided by the power signal itself during the time this signal is transmitted. Preferably the energy storage device is a capacitor which is charged by the power signal during the time the power is transmitted and is slightly discharged during the time the data is transmitted to energize the circuits at the remote station.

Load transfer in composite bolted joints

The study deals with composite bolted joints, specifically those required to transmit primary loads. Consideration is given to the ultimate load capacity of quasi-isotropic bolted joint specimens as a function of the width of the joint, the diameter of the bolt, the joint thickness, and the number of bolts. Emphasis is placed on the effect of adding a second bolt, in tandem, on the load capacity of the joint.

Simpler cabling and power link for remote readouts

Display power and segment data are multiplexed over same coaxial line. Thus, only one wire and return lead are needed, and single power supply at central location can service all remote displays.

Investigations into the mechanical behavior of composite bolted joints

Testing procedures, data reduction, and data interpretation methods used to study the mechanical behavior of graphite-polyimide bolted joints at room temperature, -157 C (-250 F), and 315 C (600 F) are described. The load transfer characteristics, from one bolt to another, in double-bolt joints were determined by examining data generated in previous investigations. From the results, it appears the increase in load-carrying capacity by adding a second bolt in tandem can be predicted.

Investigations into the mechanical behavior of composite bolted joints

Testing procedures and data reduction and interpretation techniques were established for a program to study the mechanical behavior of bolted joints at room temperature, -157 C (-250 F), and 315 C (600 F). The load transfer characteristics, from one bolt to another, in double-bolt joints were investigated by examining data generated in previous investigations. From the results, it appears the increase in load-carrying capacity by adding a second bolt in tandem can be predicted.

Strain measurements in composite bolted-joint specimens

Strain data from a series of bolted joint tests is presented. Double lap, double hole, double lap, single hole, and open hole tensile specimens were tested and the strain gage locations, load strain responses, and load axial displacement responses are presented. The open hole specimens were gaged to determine strain concentration factors. The double lap, double hole specimens were gaged to determine the uniformity of the strain in the joint and the amount of load transferred past the first bolt. The measurements indicated roughly half the load passed the first bolt to be reacted by the second bolt.

Determining the response of an FM receiver

Frequency response to frequency-modulation (FM) receiver is measured with aid of phase-modulation (PM) transmitter by applying correction to output power level. As modulating frequency is increased, output level obtained in response to PM input is reduced by 6 db per octane.

Test plan/procedure for the checkout of the USA cable communications test configuration for the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests

A series of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests were conducted in May, 1975 in the Soviet Union. The purpose of the EMC tests was to determine the effects of the operating environment of the Soviet aircraft, Soyuz, upon the electrical performance of the USA's cable communications equipment located in Soyuz. The test procedures necessary to check out the cable communications test configuration in preparation for the EMC tests are presented.
