Design concepts using ring lasers for frequency stabilization
Laser frequency stabilization methods are based on a frequency discriminant which generates an unambiguous deviation signal used for automatic stabilization. Closed-loop control stabilizes cavity length at a null point. Some systems have a stabilized ring laser using a piezoelectric dither and others use a Doppler gain tube.

Design concept for improved photo-scan tube
Conceptual photo-scan tube avoids complexity of internal beam scanning and beam-current adjustment by optical scan readout. It differs from a conventional image orthicon in its use of an external oscilloscope tube.

Design concept to decrease relative speed of ball bearings
Intermediate ring decreases the rolling speed of a ball bearing relative to the rotational speed of the shaft. It has raceways on its inner and outer peripheries and an additional row of balls. The modification permits operation at much higher shaft speeds than usual.

Rolamite - A new mechanical design concept
Rolamite, a mechanical suspension system, provides substantial reductions in friction in the realm of extremely low bearing pressures. In addition, rolamite devices are easily microminiaturized, are extremely tolerant of production variations and are inherently capable of virtually all functions to construct most electromechanical devices.

Design concept for nonarcing electrical connector
Connector plug automatically minimizes arcing during mating and demating. This plug uses a high-resistivity outer sheath as an extension to the regular pin contact. It is used in atmospheres containing explosive gases, and reduces erosion at the contact surfaces where mating and demating are performed frequently.

New circumferential seal design concept using self-acting lift geometries
Seal operating temperatures, leakage (pressurizing gas flow), torque, and wear of a conventional circumferential shaft seal were measured and compared to those of a conventional seal modified to have self-acting lift geometries. Both seal types had a 2.625-in diameter bore and were operated at a sliding velocity of 150 ft/sec with differential pressures ranging from 0 to 100 psi. Results of this investigation show that the self-acting seal operated at lower bulk carbon temperatures with half the torque and approximately one-tenth the wear of the conventional seal. Seal leakage of the self-acting seal was of order of 0.04 scfm for pressures above 60 psi which is well within the accepted range for gas turbine engine applications.
