A self-pulsing oscillator transmits a pulsed signal. The time between pulses and the frequency are controlled by two networks. Variations in the component values in each of the two networks, due to environmental changes, appear as changes in frequency and time between pulses in the transmitted signal. Such a sensor is used to measure physical magnitudes.

Sensor incorporating a circular spirit level, electrical lamp and two pairs of photocells, provides an electrical indication of flat surface level deviation.
The difference between the infrared absorption of the iris and infrared reflectivity of the eyeball controls the operation of a device consisting of an infrared source and amplifier, a cadmium selenide infrared sensor, and an infrared filter.
Forced-balanced pressure transducer and associated circuitry controls pressure testing of space equipment systems under actual operating conditions. The transducer and circuitry automatically converts the sensed pressure to digital form.
Self-balancing wheatstone bridge acts as all-electronic digital readout ohmmeter.
Electromechanical remote control system has a capacity of 1000 individual on-off functions yet uses only seven pairs of telephone-type lines for interconnection. Installation and maintenance costs are decreased by using this system.

Circuits that include compensation circuitry time a capacitance relative to a reference voltage so that a digital presentation occurs that is representative of the positional condition of the mechanical shaft being monitored. This circuitry may be employed in multiples to furnish binary encoding of a number of rotating devices simultaneously.

Calorimeter measures the exhaust energy from a shot of a pulsed plasma gun accelerator. It has a fast response time and requires only one measurement to determine the total energy. It uses a long ribbon of copper foil wound around a glass frame to form a reentrant cavity.
Power converter, using an inverted flyback technique, transfers electrical energy at a constant rate from a solar cell source to a number of individual batteries, which are to be charged one at a time. The converter inverts the polarity of the solar cell source and provides the correct charging voltage.
