Abstract: A viewing system for use in low visibility atmospheres, such as fog, rain, snow, dust, smoke, etc., particularly under nighttime conditions. A cyclically-operated pulsed light source illuminates the scene for brief instances. A shutter is operated in synchronism with the light source for transmitting to a human observer (or TV camera) light rays reflected from objects located selected distance intervals away from the light source; light rays from other zones or areas are excluded. By thus excluding light reflections from zones outside the selected distance interval, it should be possible to minimize glare associated with the excluded light, thereby improving the view of objects located within the selected distance interval.

Abstract: A resilient hollow annular frustro-conical roller bearing whose wall thicss varies according to the roller diameter. Any abnormal load placed upon the roller causes an increase area of contact between the roller and the opposing race surfaces. The hollow annular construction of the bearing is such that the load causes the roller to be stressed substantially uniformly along its entire length.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for breaking the bead of a tire from the tire rim e wherein commonly and readily available tools are used, such as tire irons, tire jack and a log chain. The log chain wrapped around the tire and rim forms a sling. The jack base rests on the tire sidewall with the jack extensible portion engageable with the chain sling whereby expansion of the jack depresses the tire bead from the rim edge.

Abstract: A bolt of a dead bolt lock is moveable between a locking position and an ocking position by application of a pressurized fluid. In both the locking and unlocking positions a plurality of locking balls are urged into locking engagement with a locking groove and are maintained in such locking engagement by a resiliently urged locking cam without the necessity for maintaining the pressurized fluid once the required condition is attained. Application of the pressurized fluid unlocks the bolt, displaces it to its alternate position and locks it in place.

Abstract: A method of forming a variable sensitivity transmission mode negative eleon affinity (NEA) photocathode in which the sensitivity of the photocathode to white or monochromatic light can be varied by varying the backsurface recombination velocity of the photoemitting material with an electric field. The basic structure of the photocathode is comprised of a Group III-V element photoemitter on a larger bandgap Group III-V element window substrate.

Abstract: An on-line indicator connected to each fuse of an electrical circuit includes an LED which becomes illuminated if its protected fuse blows. Groups of these on-line indicators can be connected via an OR gate to a single master fuse status indicator which also includes an LED which becomes illuminated if any of the on-line indicators connected thereto has its LED illuminated. The circuitry can accommodate power supplies of different voltages of either polarity. Opto-isolators can be used to reduce stand-by current drain and to isolate the on-line indicators from each other.

Abstract: A dry powder aerosolizer for both dispersing and investigating the propers, behavior and measurement of airborne particles has a cylinder and a piston head dividing the cylinder into first and second sub-chambers. The first sub-chamber contains a quantity of dry powder and the second sub-chamber has an inlet opening in communication with an input flow controller admitting pressurized air flowing into the first sub-chamber about the periphery of the piston head to aerosolize the dry powder. The aerosolized powder exits the aerosolizer through a flow control tube extending through a square shaft to which the piston head is mounted. An opposite end of the square shaft extends through a Pelton turbine wheel to which a tangential flow of pressurized air is introduced from the input flow controller to cause rotation of the piston head.
