Circuit includes two data channels and one shared precision power supply installed on a single 11.4 cm square circuit card. The unit is relatively inexpensive, compact, and suitable for most tests where low-noise and high-gain signal processing is required.
Sampler is useful on or under earth's surface or on sea bottom. Larger sample amount is obtained relative to sampler size and weight and limited particle size sample material is continuously delivered. Silicone rubber linear in transport tube nearly eliminates grinding or particulate processing during sampling, and reduces required torque.

A classical model for laser action is discussed, in which an active medium consisting of anharmonic oscillators interacts with an electromagnetic field in a resonant cavity. Comparison with the case of a medium consisting of harmonic oscillators shows the significance of nonlinearities for producing self-sustained oscillations in the radiation field. A theoretical model is presented for the pressure dependence of the intensity of a gas laser, in which only velocity-changing collisions with foreign gas atoms are included. A collision model for hard sphere, repulsive interactions was derived. Collision theory was applied to a third-order expansion of the polarization in powers of the cavity electric field (weak signal theory).
The problem of controlling a time-invariant system with parameter uncertainty is considered with incomplete state feedback. The controller is designed by minimaximizing a quadratic performance criterion and a sensitivity (or loss) criterion, involving the state of the system, the control, and the uncertainty vector. The resulting optimal controller is linear and optimal feedback gain matrix must satisfy a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. some algorithms for algebraic minimax problems are presented.
A theoretical model for the pressure dependence of the intensity of a gas laser is presented in which only velocity-changing collisions with foreign-gas atoms are included. This is a special case where the phase shifts are the same for the two atomic-laser levels or are so small that deflections are the dominant effect of collisions. A collision model for hard-sphere repulsive interactions is derived and the collision parameters, persistence of velocity and collision frequency, are assumed to be independent of velocity. The collision theory is applied to a third-order expansion of the polarization in powers of the cavity electric field (weak-signal theory). The resulting expression for the intensity shows strong pressure dependence. The collisions reduce the amount of saturation and the laser intensity increases with pressure in a characteristic fashion.
