Abstract: A clamp assembly for adjustably attaching a pole to a frame or a support member, the clamp assembly includes an elongated housing having a passageway, a slit in open communication with the passageway for adjusting a diameter of the passageway, a first connector plate extending outwardly from the elongated housing and disposed along a first side of the slit and the second connector plate extending outwardly from the elongated housing disposed along an other side of the slit, and a mounting plate or c- shaped clamp for attaching to the frame or support member respectively, and a locking member for adjustably attaching the elongated housing, the first connector plate and the second connector plate to the mounting plate.

Abstract: A dynamically reconfigurable time-space-time (DRTST) switching system for use in conjunction with a high speed transmission media which conveys a plurality of time division multiplex (TDM) channels within a repeated frame of data is provided. The system includes a bypass for selectively opening the transmission media. A control store is connected to the bypass for receiving selected channels, one of said selected channels comprising a control channel. A TST switch having a plurality of inlet ports and a plurality of outlet ports is provided wherein the inlet ports are connected to receive selected channels from the bypass, and the outlet ports are connected to the bypass for transferring data from the TST switch to the transmission media.

Abstract: A slip-free timing adjustment system adjusts channel timing for a multiplexed digital data stream. The data stream in each of c time division channels (10, 11) is modified preparatory to switching in a digital time-division circuit switch (14). The multiplexed digital data stream may arrive at the switch at a rate R0. The switch clock rate may be at a rate R1. Rates R0 and R1 are potentially different.Signal means (12, 13) provide for inserting a variable length timing code, one bit at a time, in each of the c channels in each multiplexed digital data stream. The multibit timing code is composed of successive variable length code words of length L and L+1 bits.Adjustment means (18, 42) receives the multiplexed data stream and adjusts individual channel rates in each of the c channels.

Abstract: A marker circuit communicating with a stored program controller and switch stages, implementing pathfinding, connect, and disconnect operations while using address, status, and data buses to control the switch through exchange of connect information from the stored program controller and disconnect information from the switch control stores.

Abstract: A time folded time space time (TST) switch with the establishing of a communication through path in one direction automatically establishing a path in the opposite direction in an adjacent time slot. With one transfer through a space switch made during an even time slot, the other transfer is made in a symmetrical fashion during the following odd time slot. This time folded TST switch selectively interconnects digital bi-directional Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) transmission paths.

Abstract: An expended cartridge remover for breech guns which employs the application of hydraulic pressure through the gun barrel in the direction opposite the travel of the explosive charge. The remover may be utilized upon the gun barrel removed from the bomb rack or may be adapted to operation on bomb racks where impulse cartridges are fired from breeches permanently incorporated in the bomb racks.

Abstract: A time space time (TST) switch using two basic modules, a time switching module and a space switching module with individual module elements interconnectable to realize a great range of time division switch sizes and configurations. Control stores and state stores associated with respective switching elements are combined and incorporated into the time switch and space switch modules.
