Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree ‘Malus Pumila Mil’ named ‘Emmons’ and which is characterized as to novelty by a uniqueness of shape, color, flavor and texture of the fruit, and a date of maturity for commercial harvesting and shipment of about September 29th under the ecological conditions prevailing in Central Washington.

Abstract: A system for producing spectrally pure optical pumping light at a resonant frequency is disclosed for molecular species and atomic isotopes. A Faraday filter is used as a transmission filter, and the frequency overlap between the output of a light source containing the atomic or molecular material and the spectrum of the Faraday filter allows optically pure pumping light to emanate from the filter. Cross-polarizers are used to further reduce background noise.

Abstract: A variable oscillator is disclosed which is adjustable by a user to a desired frequency. A variable reactance element is inserted in series with a crystal resonator, the variable reactance element having characteristics which are dependent upon the conditions of acceleration. The characteristics of the element which is a compensator are substantially complementary to the characteristics of the crystal resonator to balance out said variation of the crystal resonator during conditions of acceleration. There is also provided a variable reactance network connected to the oscillator to adjust the operating frequency of said oscillator.

Abstract: An assembly for a quartz crystal oscillator housed within a can is set forth in which the oven assembly for the crystal is partially formed with metallized circuit boards to which the components for the electrical circuits for controlling the crystal oscillator are connected. A control transistor is directly mounted to one wall of the oven to further provide the major source of heat for the oven while reducing consumption of power.
