Improved geodetic results from camera observations of satellites
Positron scintillation camera for detecting real and simulated brain tumors
Image orthicon camera tube for detecting faint stars, with photocathode and metal-oxide storage target for c image integration
Circuit using zero-order light is reflected to a photomultiplier in the incoming radiation of a spectrograph monitor to provide an error signal which controls the advancing and driving rate of the film through the camera.
Microfiche is prepared using an automatic control system for a planetary camera. The system provides blank end-of-row exposures and signals card completion so the legend of the next card may by photographed.
Projecting a grid pattern on a steel layout board facilitates the alignment of camera copy for photo-offset reproduction. Small flat bar magnets fasten the copy to the board.
Small, lightweight camera systems use solid state imaging devices in the form of phototransistor mosaic sensors instead of vidicon tubes for light sensing and image conversion. The digital logic circuits scan the sensor mosaic at 60 frames per second to produce pictures composed of a series of dots rather than lines.
Cable run circuit with switching junction connectors at strategic locations enables television cameras to be plugged in with minimum effort wherever needed. Crimp-type contacts for mating connections reduce installation time and require a lesser level of technician skill than do soldered and potted connections.
High resolution electronic camera mounted on spacecraft for geological survey of planet Mars
Lunar facsimile camera, noting large angular field coverage and electromechanical scanning system with optically narrow instantaneous field
Tesseral harmonics of Earth gravitational field camera tracking of five satellites
Small magnetic sweep deflection circuits operate a hand-held lunar television camera. They convert timing signals from the synchronizer into waveforms that provide a raster on the vidicon target. Raster size remains constant and linear during wide voltage and temperature fluctuations.
Polaroid Land camera with an illuminated 7-power magnifier adapted to the lens, photographs weld flaws. The flaws are located by inspection with a 10-power magnifying glass and then photographed with this device, thus providing immediate pictorial data for use in remedial procedures.
Ultraminiature television camera with a total volume of 20.25 cubic inches, requires 28 vdc power, operates on UHF and accommodates standard 8-mm optics. It uses microelectronic assembly packaging techniques and contains a magnetically deflected and electrostatically focused vidicon, automatic gain control circuit, power supply, and transmitter.
Spinning cryostat, or chemical camera, for sampling supersonic gas stream and recording chemical kinetics
Cloud photographs obtained on board ATS-I SATELLITE with camera equipped with reflecting telescope show feasibility of short-lived weather systems from synchronous altitude
Dual camera for Lunar Orbiter, design, performance and hardware modifications
