Refractory oxide insulated thermocouple designed and analyzed for high temperature applications
Study establishes design criteria for constructing high temperature thermocouple to measure nuclear fuel pin temperature. The study included a literature search to determine the compatibility of material useful for thermocouples, a hot zone error analysis, and a prototype design for hot junction and connector pin connections.

An improved method for electrical cable terminations
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.

Two-functional seal for hose connection
Seal, machined from a plastic material, prevents liquid hydrogen leakage from hose connectors. It serves as a block-type seal supporting maximum loading of the poppet with slight elastic deflection or as a lip-type seal that is deformed elastically in bending, tension, or compression by the seated poppet.

Development of a portable life support system and emergency life support pack
The design, development, and fabrication of a feasibility model of a breathing bag life support system for extravehicular activity are discussed. The breathing vest and back pack portable life support system contains connectors which allow external water and gas supply. At a metabolic rate of 2000 BTU per hour, the two low pressure bottles provide 27 minutes of breathing gas for a total filled system weight of 30.5 pounds.
