Patent number: 5033496Abstract: An electro-pneumatic transducer converts an electrical input signal into a proportional (direct or indirect) pneumatic output signal. A circuit will sense the magnitude of the input signal, monitor the output fluid pressure and adjust a piezoelectric beam voltage until a desired output fluid pressure is achieved. The output fluid pressure is controlled by the deflection of a piezoelectric beam which is polarized and will deflect with an applied voltage. The output fluid pressure is monitored by a pressure sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1990Date of Patent: July 23, 1991Assignee: ITT CorporationInventor: Roney A. Reid

Patent number: 5029963Abstract: An image intensifier retrofit system for a Generation II based driver's viewer assembly, identified as AN/VVS-2. The system includes a housing which is dimensionally the same as the Generation II tube housing. Positioned at one end of the housing is a Generation III image intensifier tube and at the other end of the housing is a fiber optic element. Positioned between the tube and the fiber optic element is a relay lens assembly. The Generation III tube receives the light from a viewed scene from an objective lens assembly of the dirver's viewer. The intensified image output from the tube is received by the relay lens system which inverts and magnifies the image and transfers the image to the input surface of the fiber optic element. The fiber optic element in turn transfers the image to its output surface from which surface the image is viewed by the user of the driver's viewer through a biocular eyepiece.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1990Date of Patent: July 9, 1991Assignee: ITT CorporationInventors: Charles Naselli, Albert F.

Patent number: 5015192Abstract: A method is described for installing contacts with their rear tail ends soldered to holes of a circuit board and their front mating ends insulative housing layers, which facilitates inspection of the solder connections to the circuit board and defluxing of the assembly after soldering. The front contact portions are partially inserted into holes in an elastomeric housing layer (50, FIG. 3) until a first forwardly-facing shoulder (76) on each contact abuts an abutment (92) on the elastomeric layer. The contact rear ends are inserted into corresponding holes in the circuit board (56) until a second rearwardly-facing shoulder on each contact abuts the front face of the board, and the contacts are then soldered to the board. The distance (H, FIG. 2) between the first and second contact shoulders is sufficient to provide a considerable gap (A) between the board and the elastomeric layer, so the solder connectiosn can be visually inspected.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1989Date of Patent: May 14, 1991Assignee: ITT CorporationInventors: David E. Welsh, Albert H. Wilson
