Self-starting circuit for switching regulators

Schematic is provided on a self-starting circuit for a switching regulator which uses a logic circuit to sense a change in output voltage and provides a correction signal for dc power sources. With this device, the total power consumed by the logic circuitry is held to a minimum, and the circuit receives the optimum regulated supply power.

Magnetotail changes in relation to the solar wind magnetic field and magnetospheric substorms

An attempt is made to understand some of the magnetotail dynamics by using simultaneous observations from several satellites: Explorers 33 and 35 in the solar wind, IMP 4 in the near magnetotail (30 RE), ATS 1, and OGO 5 in the magnetosphere. It was observed that in the main lobes of the tail the magnetic field increases slowly when the interplanetary magnetic field turns southward, and can decrease slowly after a substorm. The plasma sheet changes indicate a thinning when the interplanetary magnetic field turns southward and an expansion when it turns northward. When combined with the plasma sheet expansion, which has been observed to follow a substorm, these results allow a schematic view of the relations between the changes in the orientation of the solar wind magnetic field, the substorms, and the changes in the tail parameters to be developed.

Generalized simulation technique for turbojet engine system analysis

A nonlinear analog simulation of a turbojet engine was developed. The purpose of the study was to establish simulation techniques applicable to propulsion system dynamics and controls research. A schematic model was derived from a physical description of a J85-13 turbojet engine. Basic conservation equations were applied to each component along with their individual performance characteristics to derive a mathematical representation. The simulation was mechanized on an analog computer. The simulation was verified in both steady-state and dynamic modes by comparing analytical results with experimental data obtained from tests performed at the Lewis Research Center with a J85-13 engine. In addition, comparison was also made with performance data obtained from the engine manufacturer. The comparisons established the validity of the simulation technique.
