Abstract: A sturdy three-dimensional master model constructed using CAD/CAM and N/C machine tool techniques by digitally processing surface data to obtain low density, unsweetened, template contour lines offset below the surface on an axis normal thereto, and then simultaneously constructing a rough model having a surface offset above the surface on an axis normal thereto, while developing the surface data to sweetened, high density cutter path data and then using the cutter path data to N/C mill the rough plus model.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toolless retention system for a pair of connectors intermated to form a connector assembly.

Abstract: A training aid to simulate a warhead to provide realistic training for cring and cutting procedures to gradually release pressure for disablement of the warhead.

Abstract: 1. In combination, means for receiving a signal wave accompanied by a pilot impulse, means to combine with the received signal wave a locally produced wave in predetermined phase relation comprising means to produce a local pilot impulse in definite relation to said locally produced wave, signal storage means, means responsive to said first pilot impulse to enable said storage means to receive and store said signal wave, a signal responsive device, and means controlled by said local impulse to impress said stored signal wave upon said signal responsive device together with said locally produced wave.8. In a speech transmission system, means to sample input speech waves twice per cycle of the highest component frequency of the speech to be sent, means to produce pulses representative of the sampled speech equal in length to the time between sampling instants, means to combine said pulses with individual key pulses to disguise the speech pulses and means to transmit the combined pulses.
