Tiny sensor-transmitter can withstand extreme acceleration, gives digital output

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.

Photoelectric sensor output controlled by eyeball movements

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.

Shaft encoder presents digital output

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.

Fast-acting calorimeter measures heat output of plasma gun accelerator

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.

Converter provides constant electrical power at various output voltages

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.
