Abstract: This Simplified Self Powered Attitude Survival Indicator, provides a simple indicator which gives a visual indication of aircraft attitude and provides suitable indicators and alarms when needed. No vacuum or powered gyroscopes are used. The indicator is self powered and readily transportable from one aircraft to another. This invention is not used to replace the standard gyroscopic indicator, but to supplement it.

Abstract: A new type of polymer is described that represents a new composition of matter. This polymer contains alternating electronegative group III-VI elements connected with hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon linkages to form a polyalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl heteroatomic polymer. These polymers can be combined with lithium salts to form a solid polymer electrolyte for use in electrochemical systems such as batteries. These new solid polymer electrolytes exhibit lithium cation diffusion and lithium cation transport numbers that are superior to similar solid polymer electrolytes composed of polyethylene oxide.
