Miniature stress transducer has directional capability

Miniature stress transducer uses a semiconductive piezoresistive element to detect stress only on specific axes. Measurement of internal mass stress is based on the compressive deformation of the transducer. The device is applicable to constant stress monitoring in building and dam structural parts.

Contact stresses calculated for miniature slip rings

Using mathematical formulations to plot the graphs of the contact preload versus the Hertzian load, calculations of unit loading of the preloaded brushes on slip rings can be made. This optimizes the design of contact brushes and miniature slip rings.

Miniature bearings lubricated by sonic dispersion method

Evenly distributing a monomolecular film over the balls and tracks of miniature precision ball bearings by sonic dispersion results in precise lubrication which prevents lubricant bleed out to adjacent components. Varying the lubricant to solvent ratio of the mixture causes varying lubricant coating thicknesses.

High-performance RC bandpass filter is adapted to miniaturized construction

Miniaturized bandpass filter with RC networks is suitable for use in integrated circuits. The circuit consists of three stages of amplification with additional resistive and capacitive components to obtain the desired characteristics. The advantages of the active RC filter network are the reduction in size and weight and elimination of magnetic materials.

Miniature telemetry system accurately measures pressure

Miniature, low power, telemetry system that can be used with commercially available strain gage pressure transducers accurately measures pressure with a small implantable pressure cell and transmitter. The system has been used to date only with pressure transducers, but the circuit is equally applicable to any measurement using a strain gage sensor.
