Abstract: Fluid flow control devices are described particularly useful as drip irrigation emitters provided with flow regulation to reduce their pressure-sensitivity, thereby enabling them to be used in long lines and in undulating terrain. The disclosed devices include a first flexible plastic strip bonded on one surface to a second plastic strip along bond lines defining a pressure-dropping passageway. A third plastic surface is bonded to the opposite surface of the first flexible plastic strip along bond lines defining therewith a static pressure chamber in which the first flexible plastic serves as a common wall with the chamber and the passageway for at least part of the length of the passageway. Thus variations in the velocity of the fluid through the pressure-dropping passageway causes the common wall to be flexed to vary the cross-sectional area of the passageway and thereby to regulate the fluid flow therethrough. Both linear-source emitters and point-source emitters are described.

Abstract: An apparatus attached to the flight control surface designed to lock the surface in a fixed and generally neutral position when a hydraulic pressure failure occurs. A spring loaded hydraulic actuator is mounted in the fixed wing structure but has an arm with a locking roller extending into a wedge shaped recess in the adjacent movable control surface. When hydraulic pressure is present the actuator spring is compressed and the locking roller on the actuator arm is moved to the wide end of the wedge, effectively avoiding any contact between the roller and the flight control surface surrounding it irrespective of the control surface orientation. Upon the occurrence of a hydraulic pressure drop, the compressed spring translates the actuator arm drawing the locking roller into a detent in the narrow end of the wedge, thereby inhibiting control surface rotation and flutter.
