Publication number: 20070119827Abstract: A plasma jet system includes a housing with a single opening. A plasma generator is coupled to ionize a fluid in the housing. An electromagnetic accelerator is coupled to generate an electric field that accelerates ionized fluid in the housing toward the opening. A controller can modulate the frequency of the electric field to cause the ionized fluid to form a plasma vortex flow through the opening. A magnetic field is applied normal to the direction of the plasma vortex flow to mitigate the momentum of the electrons. The electrons slowed by the magnetic field can be collected and conducted to a location where they are re-inserted into the plasma vortex flow to maintain charge neutrality.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2007Publication date: May 31, 2007Applicant: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Daniel Miller, Paul McClure, Charles Chase, Robert Boyd

Patent number: 7224308Abstract: A surveillance system is provided for surveillance of objects within a secure area. A surveillance sensor transmits surveillance signals to all objects within the secure area, the reflections of which are received back by the surveillance sensor to determine the locations of objects, and communicates the determined locations to a pressing facility. Objects authorized to be in the secure area are equipped with an Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) unit that includes a GPS receiver and a data communication transmitter. In response to predetermined conditions, the IFF units broadcast their position and identification to the processing facility for correlation with locations defined by the reflection signals.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2003Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Inventors: Walker Butler, Charles Chase

Patent number: 5873748Abstract: A unitary lampholder (10) including a lamp socket (12,14) as well as a multi-position switch which can take the form of a three-way, two circuit switch for operating a two filament lamp, a single circuit switch for operating a single filament lamp or arranged to permit the switch to be operated from a remote point. The lampholder has a bottom housing (14) and a top housing (12) which includes an access door (16) which is slidably and rotatably mounted to the remainder of the top housing by a guide member (54) which moves within slots (93,94) and permits the access door (16) to be rotated from a position on and perpendicular to the top housing axis to one parallel to that axis in which position it can be slidably moved towards the bottom housing. Upon slidably moving the access door towards the bottom housing, projections (160,162) on the base of access door force insulated conductors (92,94) into the insulation displacing terminals (86,88) of the contacts (60,62) to make electrical contact therewith.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1997Date of Patent: February 23, 1999Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Arkady Getselis, Anthony Tufano, Charles Chase, Anthony DeVincentis

Patent number: 5795059Abstract: A lighting fixture composed of a lampholder which can receive an electrical lamp and supply to it AC power and a body member into which the lampholder can be placed for support and protection. A locking member in the form of a flat, resilient metallic band with end portions bent at an acute angle provides a one-way clutch which permits the lampholder to be placed into the body member but prevents its withdrawal. Channels in the interior wall of the body receive the band ends to prevent rotation of the lampholder. The channels are employed in pairs and a single pair or two pairs at right angles to each other are employed.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1996Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Stanley S.

Patent number: 4346742Abstract: Improved method for the pick up and delivery of a liquid test sample and diluent therefore by a single syringe having a syringe valve for placing the syringe barrel in fluid connection with either a diluent pick up line or a sample pick-up line. The method is comprised essentially of the steps of priming the apparatus, picking up the diluent through the diluent pick-up line and thereafter with a continuing downward stroke of the syringe plunger picking up a percentage volume of liquid sample. Preferably, an air bubble is picked up in the end of the sample pick-up line before the sample pick-up cycle. After the full downward stroke of the syringe plunger, the diluted sample is delivered by depressing the plunger to its zero volume setting.An apparatus is provided having a computer controlled syringe plunger drive which includes a zero volume switch, and a computer controlled syringe valve having branch ports adapted to be connected to a diluent and a sample pick-up line.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1980Date of Patent: August 31, 1982Assignee: P.M.
