Thermocouples electrically checked while connected to data system

Constant current source is connected across the input of the millivolt measuring system to monitor the electrical continuity and resistance of multiple thermocouple installations without disconnecting them from a data system. This technique monitored gage thermocouple leads during the assembly and preflight testing of the Project Fire reentry packages.

Checking flat conductor cable spacing by means of a moire pattern

Moire tester detects small variations in flat conductor cable spacing by a quick, visual inspection. This device compares the cable to be tested with the negative of a very precise standard cable. The moire, consisting of bands of light and dark zones and its irregularities, can be interpreted as errors in spacing.

Volume-checking tool

Tool, consisting of a graduated storage vessel and a control panel, can determine the amount of gas entrained by fluid in a closed system, the amount of fluid remaining in a dried system of known volume, or the volume of a container of unknown size.

Chatter-free check valve - A concept

Valve head moves in spiral motion away from seat. Motion is controlled by travel of pin along spiral groove in valve guide. Clearances between pin and groove permit free motion of valve, but effectively dampen vibration and chattering.

Numerical check on the accuracy of spherical-wave expansions.

A simple and sensitive test for evaluating the numerical accuracy of a spherical-wave expansion is presented. The basic idea is to compare two different expansions of the same electromagnetic field, computed with respect to different coordinate origins. The use of the technique is illustrated by an example based on the experimental pattern of a horn antenna.
