Simple, accurate temperature-measuring instrument

Compact instrument, composed of integrated circuits and a temperature-sensitive platinum resistor, measures temperature over a wide dynamic range. Ultimate accuracy is limited by nonlinearity of the platinum resistor. With proper calibration and current regulation to within 0.01 percent, a measurement accuracy of 0.05 percent can be achieved.

Simple method for predicting viscosity of gas mixtures

Method is derived from the Chapman-enskog theory which describes viscosities at low-to-moderate pressures. Mixtures of nonpolar gases require the viscosities and molecular weights of the constituents in addition to the mixture composition. Dipole moments, boiling points and liquid boiling point densities are also needed with polar gases.

Simple chamber facilitates chemiluminescent detection of bacteria

Test chamber enables rapid estimation of bacteria in a test sample through the reaction of luminol and an oxidant with the cytochrome C portion of certain species of bacteria. Intensity of the light emitted in the reaction is a function of the specific bacteria in the test sample.

Simple technique extends life of angular-contact ball bearings

Split ring, angular-contact bearing has only one ball path on the inner race and the outer race. Upon failure of either races or balls, bearing is reversed in its housing so that force is applied to opposite points on the races and bearing operation is unaffected by previous failure.

Simple bonding technique for high-temperature ceramic coatings

Coatings, consisting of zirconia powder bonded with orthophosphoric acid and a small amount of hydrofluoric acid, are hard, strong, and refractory, resist thermal shock, and provide good thermal protection. After the aqueous coating is applied to a metallic surface, only a 600 deg F cure is required before service.

Simple data-smoothing and noise-suppression technique

Algorithm, based on the Borel method of summing divergent sequences, is used for smoothing noisy data where knowledge of frequency content is not required. Technique's effectiveness is demonstrated by a series of graphs.
