Composite ion accelerator grids.

Ion extraction system for low voltage mercury electron bombardment thrustors using glass coating fused to perforated metal grid

Banks, B.↗

Improved method of dicing integrated circuit wafers into chips

Method employing a pressure chamber is used for dicing semiconductor single-crystal wafers, containing integrated circuits, into small chips along pre-scribed lines. Uniform bending of the scribed wafer over the convex surface of a perforated hemisphere, breaks it cleanly into individual chips without damaging the circuits.

Thermal-difference compensation for structural members

Aluminum-thermal difference link maintains constant length of strut despite environmental temperature changes. An extension spring decreases load on the compensator drive linkage when strut is in tension, when strut is in compression, a compression spring is used. Perforated titanium outer tube exposes link to external heat.

Belew, R. R.↗

A reliable liquid helium detector

Detector and indicator system, utilizing commercial perforated germanium cryogenic thermometer as level sensor containing adjustable level discriminator with indicators, operates reliably over pressure range from 50 to 900 mm Hg without electronic adjustments.

High voltage electrical insulation coating for refractory materials

Formula and process have been developed for coating refractory metal surfaces with high voltage electrical insulation for use at temperatures to 600 C. Coatings were specifically developed as an insulation for the surface of a perforated, molybdenum, ion-accelerator grid, but are not limited to this application.

Regenerable metallic oxide systems for removal of carbon dioxide: A concept

Design concepts for portable canisters for removal of carbon dioxide are described. One is screen pack configuration consisting of brazed rectangular canister with four metal oxide packs inserted. Other is radial flow canister with perforated central tube. Methods of production and operating principles are presented.

Sutton, J. G.↗

Hydrophobic liquid/gas separator for heat pipes

Perforated nonwetting plug of material such as polytetrafluoroethylene is mounted in gas reservoir feed tube, preferably at end which extends into heat pipe condenser section, to prevent liquid from entering gas reservoir of passively controlled heat pipe.

Marcus, B. D.↗

Parallel-plate viscometer

Viscometer consists of movable vertical rod with one optical flat fixed to its lower end and centered over second optical flat held rigidly parallel to moveable flat. Two perforated diaphragms of thin metal permit limited amount of vertical movement of rod carrying movable flat, but resist lateral movement.

Study and development of acoustic treatment for jet engine tailpipes

A study and development program was accomplished to attenuate turbine noise generated in the JT3D turbofan engine. Analytical studies were used to design an acoustic liner for the tailpipe. Engine ground tests defined the tailpipe environmental factors and laboratory tests were used to support the analytical studies. Furnace-brazed, stainless steel, perforated sheet acoustic liners were designed, fabricated, installed, and ground tested in the tailpipe of a JT3D engine. Test results showed the turbine tones were suppressed below the level of the jet exhaust for most far field polar angles.

Performance of a small annular turbojet combustor designed for low cost

Performance investigations were conducted on a combustor utilizing several cost-reducing innovations and designed for use in a low-cost 4448-N thrust turbojet engine for commercial light aircraft. Low-cost features included simple, air-atomizing fuel injectors; combustor liners of perforated sheet; and the use of inexpensive type 304 stainless-steel material. Combustion efficiencies at the cruise and sea-level-takeoff design points were approximately 97 and 98 percent, respectively. The combustor isothermal pressure loss was 6.3 percent at the cruise-condition diffuser inlet Mach number of 0.34. The combustor exit temperature pattern factor was less than 0.24 at both the cruise and sea-level-takeoff design points. The combustor exit average radial temperature profiles at all conditions were in very good agreement with the design profile.

Development and verification of design methods for ducts in a space nuclear shield

A practical method for computing the effectiveness of a space nuclear shield perforated by small tubing and cavities is reported. Performed calculations use solutions for a two dimensional transport code and evaluate perturbations of that solution using last flight estimates and other kernel integration techniques. In general, perturbations are viewed as a change in source strength of scattered radiation and a change in attenuation properties of the region.
