The heat pipe - A simple, versatile, efficient heat transfer tool

Heat pipe transports large quantities of heat from source to sink with only small temperature drop. Thermal energy is transferred to and from heat pipe by any combination of conduction, convection, or radiation heat transfer. Pipes transport energy from open flames, nuclear sources, and electronic equipment.

Support for flexible conductor cable between drawers or racks holding electronic equipment and cabinet assembly housing drawers or racks

Mchaffie, D. J.↗

Improved system for measuring speed of rotating machinery

Gear designed with spaces for 61 or 62 teeth but having 1- or 2-tooth gap provides reference point that can be detected electronically and retains convenient count of 60 per revolution obviating need for duplicate electronic equipment.

Smith, E. G.↗

Systems effectiveness evaluation program

Eight integrated computer programs provide needed capability to reduce man-hours needed to perform routine monitoring and assessment of effectiveness, reliability, and maintainability of large electronic equipment systems.

Detection of nonlinear transfer functions by the use of Gaussian statistics

The possibility of using on-line signal statistics to detect electronic equipment nonlinearities is discussed. The results of an investigation using Gaussian statistics are presented, and a nonlinearity test that uses ratios of the moments of a Gaussian random variable is developed and discussed. An outline for further investigation is presented.

Development of nonflammable potting compounds for spacecraft

The requirements for nonflammable potting compounds for use in spacecraft electric and electronic equipment are discussed. The development of a suitable nonflammable compound is described. Flammability testing and acceptance criteria for Apollo spacecraft are presented. The dielectric properties of various ceramic materials used as conformal coatings are examined.

Heat pipe applications for the space shuttle.

Discussion of six specific applications for heat pipe (HP) devices on the space shuttle. These applications were chosen from 27 concepts formulated as part of a study to evaluate the potential benefits associated with HP use. The formulation process is briefly described along with the applications which evolved. The bulk of the discussion deals with the 'top' six - namely, HP radiators for waste heat rejection, an HP augmented cold rail, an HP circuit for electronic equipment cooling, modular heat sink for control of remote packages, an HP temperature control for compartments, and air-cooled equipment racks. The philosophy, physical design details, and performance data are presented for each concept along with a comparison with the baseline design where applicable.

Cosmic dust or other similar outer-space particles location detector

Cosmic dust may be serious radiation hazard to man and electronic equipment caught in its path. Dust detector uses two operational amplifiers and offers narrower areas for collection of cosmic dust. Detector provides excellent resolution as result of which recording of particle velocities as well as positions of their impact are more accurately determined.
