Abstract: A molded cable comprises a plurality of conductors and a webbed conductor harness. The webbed harness has openings formed by intersecting strands, the strands including channels therethrough for the conductors. The webbed harness can be made in combination with the conductors or with a preform to form the channels. The preform can then be replaced by the conductors to form the molded cabling.

Abstract: A molded cable and a method of production which generally consists of a plurality of conductors and a plastic like material interlaced with the conductors in a woven pattern to hold and secure the conductors in a spaced relationship. The woven pattern of plastic like material is typically formed by an injection molding process.The cable can have a plurality of conductors generally labeled as a first conductor, second conductor, and continuing to a last conductor held in spaced relationship with each other and each of the conductors have a beginning end and a terminating end. A narrow strip of the plastic like compound forms a beginning base around the conductors, then it is woven over the first conductor, under the second conductor, over the third conductor and continuing in this woven pattern until the last conductor is included.

Abstract: A disposable pen-reservoir unit for a paper-chart recording instrument, includes a reservoir chamber surrounding the pen drive fork, with center of gravity of the unit located between the fork and writing tip, and the center of gravity below the line of bearing of the pen unit knife edge on the drive fork. Pen cross section is minimized. Reservoir diameter to depth ratio is minimized to keep the mass of the reservoir and ink supplies as close to the pen pivot axis as possible, to minimize inertia and dynamic over-shoot of the writing system. A closed system allows maximum utilization of ink supply with virtually no loss to evaporation.

Abstract: A permissive make double throw electromagnetic switch having maximum efficiency in utilizing electrical energy supplied thereto, though being extremely small and compact for use on printed circuit boards. The means for moving the contact actuator comprises a pivotal armature which carries a permanent magnet and a pole piece whereby the permanent magnet causes the pole piece to be drawn into engagement with the core of an electromagnetic winding to thereby move the armature to a retracted position. Energization of the winding causes the armature to be drawn into attracted position in engagement with the core, the flux path through the armature being directly through the core and other flux-conducting means.

Abstract: A miniature armature relay having a substantially flat header and a cover therefor. Attached to the header is an electromagnetic operator which comprises an electromagnetic winding and a reciprocatable armature therewithin which carries a disc-shaped contactor.Mounting lugs are fixed to the header on opposite sides of the armature, and individually carry a stationary contact to be engaged by the contactor. Alignment means comprising a pair of anchor lugs on opposite sides of the armature, and a flexible member secured to the armature and such anchor lugs is also included. A biasing spring urges the armature to retracted position and the electromagnetic operator overcomes such spring in response to energization of the winding thereof.

Abstract: A self telemetering miss-distance radar method and system of high sensitivity and free of second-time-around echoes is provided by phase modulating a continuous wave signal with the output of a repetitive code source such as a pseudo-random noise generator. That signal is transmitted as the radar signal. Returning echoes are applied to one input of a product detector to whose other input a sample of the unmodulated CW signal may be applied. The mixer output contains the product of the CW signal and the echo. The echo includes the CW signal modified to include the noise code and Doppler shift. That product signal is applied to a second product detector to which a delayed version of the noise code is applied. If the code in the echo arrives at the second product detector in unison with the delayed code, the output level will be high. If not, it will be low. The second detector output, the second product signal, is passed through a Doppler filter.

Abstract: An electrically conductive moveable support member for use as a contact carrier, contactor or armature support.Such electrically conductive support member is formed of electrically conductive material of sufficient cross section to carry the desired current, and is formed with reverse convolutions which may be interleaved to provide a small, compact, support member. The convolutions are formed about the mid-point of the length of the material, to leave opposite end portions, one of which may be supported to a base member and the other of which is provided with a contactor, armature or the like.

Abstract: A watt/watthour meter of improved accuracy and relatively lower cost than a conventionally designed device with similar specifications. A current proportional to instantaneous power is obtained from a current-voltage multiplier circuit and is maintained as a current signal through amplifying and filtering, through the watt output load and through integrating in the watthour section. The multiplier uses a chopper modulator which provides two identical output current sources both floating with respect to ground so that one may be connected to the watt output amplifier and one to the watthour integrator. The signal from the power line which is proportional to the voltage modulates the signal which is proportional to the power line current by alternatively switching the modulated current between the two source outputs and by maintaining zero average input current flow from the modulated current signal through use of dc blocking capacitors.

Abstract: A watt/watthour meter of improved accuracy and relatively lower cost than a conventionally designed device with smilar specifications. A current proportional to instantaneous power is obtained from a current-voltage multiplier circuit and is maintained as a current signal through amplifying and filtering and through the watt output load and through integrating in the watthour section. The watthour integrator uses a charge compensation integrator circuit to integrate one of the watt signal currents and it can integrate in either direction corresponding to power in or power out. This can be accomplished because circuitry is disclosed to provide a current pulse having a precise magnitude and in either of two alternative, opposite current flow directions.

Abstract: A circuit for providing an output direct current which is a linearly proportional analog of the average and the effective magnitude of a sinusoidal input voltage or current. A transformer couples the sinusoid to a rectifier which applies a rectified sinusoid to a filtered current mirror circuit of low power requirements in order to provide a ripple free, high impedance current source output. The current mirror circuit is imbalanced in order to provide a non-linear characteristic which compensates for the transformer-rectifier non-linearity. The current mirror circuit also has an RC feedback network with sufficient feedback and gain to obtain an active, low pass filter characteristic. Component values are selected to give a sharp cutoff, active filter just below the ripple frequency to give efficient ripple elimination yet permit a rapid response time.
