Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for the remote control of missiles or torpedoes launched from a launching container, by means of a cable of which a portion is wound onto a supply reel connected with the launching and of which the other portion is wound onto a supply reel in the missile or the torpedo. The supply reel in the launching container is arranged on the forward end of the container, and the supply reel in the missile or torpedo is arranged on the rearward end of the missile or torpedo. The cable section between the two supply reels, before the launching of the missile or torpedo, is fastened along the major portion of its length on the interior wall of the launching container, by means of a gluing arrangement which consists of a material whose combustion temperature is at least by 800.degree. C. lower than the melting temperature of the optical waveguide, or by means of a flexible clamping arrangement whose holding force can be adjusted.

Abstract: A refueling process for cryogenic liquids, in which the cryogenic liquid in question is transferred from a storage tank into a receiving tank via a detachable line connection. Before or during the refueling process, the cryogenic liquid is cooled in the storage tank to a temperature that is below the lowest operating temperature intended in the tank and above the freezing point of the liquid. The cryogenic liquid is transferred into the tank through a filter with a fineness of 5 to 40 .mu.m, and its temperature is increased during the transfer to a value that at least approximately corresponds to the intended operating temperature in the receiving tank.

Abstract: A pressed explosive charge with high performance capacity and low sensitivity is formed of a pressable granular product. The pressable granular product has a high explosive content, preferably above 94% by weight and even more preferably above 96% by weight. The binder is a gel-like silicon rubber.

Abstract: An axially extending fragmentation warhead having a plurality of separate axially extending deformation charges in its radially outer surface. The deformation charges are located in a damping layer enclosing a fragmentation layer covering a cylindrical jacket enclosing a main explosive charge. The deformation charges facing a target can be individually ignited to inwardly deform the cylindrical jacket and the fragmentation layer prior to igniting the main explosive charge for selectively directing the fragmentation layer at the target. The deformation charges can be ignited individually or in selected groups to increase the effectiveness of the fragments directed at the target.

Abstract: Biological preparations or specimens are treated for a subsequent microscopic inspection. For this purpose it is necessary that the inner structure that is to be studied does not change prior to and during inspection. It is thus necessary to subject the specimens to a chemical and/or mechanical pretreatment for increasing the permeability of the specimen surface to a fixation substance in the form of an aqueous solution that contains an aldehyde fixation agent, preferably a highly volatile fixation agent or substance. The exposure of the specimens to the fixation substance takes place by immersion and/or spraying and/or fumigation. The fixation agent is preferably volatile and in the form of an aldehyde proportion of about 5% by volume or of an acrolein proportion of about 10% by volume.

Abstract: Vibrations of pipes or other components installed in a container such as a tank intended for holding liquids, are damped by surface area damping bodies, e.g. plates with through-holes that are immersed in the liquid in the container. These plates are rigidly connected to the pipes or components to be damped. The vibration damping plates are constructed of metal, for example, and the through-holes reduce the mass and advantageously affect the damping effect. The materials for making the perforated damping plates are selected to be compatible with the content of the containers, such as a fuel in a tank in a spacecraft. The surface area ratio of all cross-sectional areas of the through-holes to the total plate surface area is optimized to achieve a maximum damping effect. These perforated plates are secured to pipes, braces, filters, ducts, or other internal components of fuel tanks of land vehicles, aircraft, and spacecraft.

Abstract: A guided missile is directed toward a ground level or sea level target despite the presence of laterally and vertically offset decoys by causing the missile first to "acquire" one of the target or decoys. The guidance system then directs the missile in the azimuth plane toward the acquired target while it directs the missile along a predetermined path that ends in a low level horizontal flight. A simulator simulates a flight path toward the acquired target in the elevational plane. When the simulated flight path toward the acquired target deviates from the predetermined elevational path by a preset amount, a logic system causes the missile to unlock from the target and acquire a new one. Thus the missile will ultimately only lock onto the sea level or ground level target.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of classifying and identifying an object, for example satellites, aircraft, land vehicles and ships with a Doppler radar system in which a video signal is generated by means of coherent signal processing and tracking data including, position and changes in position, are determined from the video signal for the object. The method includes representing the object as an inverse synthetic radar aperture image and then selecting a reference object with the aid of the tracking data and the rotational axis of the object. A representation of the reference object is rotated into a position that corresponds to the spatial rotational axis of the object and then superimposed over the inverse synthetic aperture radar image of the object. Identification of the object is effected by comparing the representation of the rotated reference object with the inverse synthetic aperture radar image.

Abstract: A transport plane with stub tail, which is preferably propelled by two jet engines. The intake air is fed to the engines directly integrated in the fuselage tail via a diffusor, the diffusor is a short diffusor. The air obtained by boundary layer suction via a suction slot with a combination of ejectors and diffusors is fed into the rest of the intake air.

Abstract: Injection element of coaxial design for rocket combustion chambers with a combustion chamber pressure of 3 to 30 bar and for operation with two hypergolically reacting propellants, with a central body for the oxidant, whose flow channel has a twisting insert, a cross section contraction and a sharp opening edge, and with a sleeve concentrically surrounding the central body to limit an annular flow channel for the propellant, wherein the flow channel has a circular cylindrical outlet with a sharp opening edge. The flow channel of the central body has a circular cylindrical outlet. The opening edges of the central body and of the sleeve are located approximately in the plane of the front surface of the combustion chamber. A flow divider, which divides the propellant flow into five to twenty equal individual flows is arranged in the flow channel for the propellant. The velocities of flow of the oxidant and of the propellant are between 5 m/sec and 20 m/sec at the point of entry into the combustion chamber.
