Abstract: This apparatus is directed to an erosion barrier for use with a shoreline of tidal water having a flood and ebb phase in each tidal cycle in which a first tire barrier has a plurality of vertically stacked tiers of tires cut in half and positioned side by side in rows and the rows arranged in stacked tiers staggered and each tier connected to the tier immediately therebeneath. The half tires are positioned with their rounded tread positioned toward the tidal source and their open portion toward the shoreline to receive soil and sand during the ebb phase of the tidal cycle and form a tire revetment. A second barrier is spaced from the first barrier and has a plurality of horizontally disposed vertically pivoted slats positioned to unseat with the flood phase of the tidal cycle and permit water, soil and sand to pass therethrough but upon cycle change to ebb the slats will close stopping tidal flow to permit the soil and sand time to settle out to form land about the barriers before tidal cycle change.

Abstract: A system for real beam radar ground mapping using a monopulse antennae to determine off-boresight angle of target returns. Off-boresight angle is converted to azimuth bins. After processing, return energy for each contiguous azimuth bin of an illuminated area is dumped during a respective "look" of the antenna.

Abstract: Murine monoclonal antibodies specific to the tumor marker galactosyltransferase II (GT-II) which have no measurable cross-reactivity with galactosyltransferase I (GT-I) are described. These antibodies are used in assays to determine levels of GT-II in serum or other body fluid samples, which levels, depending on their magnitude, are indicators of cancer.

Abstract: A modular improved forward section and improved aft section containing an tive-control package are disclosed which can be retrofitted to existing sphere-cone geometry reentry bodies (RBs) and which will provide improved aerodynamic performance and deployment accuracy of the RBs independent of missile error sources and drop sequence. An aft section containing control electronics, a propulsion system and steering jets permits the improve RB to actively correct for attitude and velocity dispersions occurring throughout the flight profile.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for an aircraft chair in which the chair can be easily and automatically locked in its adjusted or upright position, and unlocked for horizontal swiveling movement. Rotatable cam means are oriented in a locking position such that the chair seat is locked against the base. When the cam means is rotated the brakes are unlocked thereby permitting horizontal or swiveling movement of the chair seat relative to the base.

Abstract: A mirror vibration absorber for mirror assemblies mounted on motor vehicles comprises a ballast absorbing the vibration of the mirror assembly and disposed either inside or outside thereof. The position and weight of the ballast can be adjusted to the specific vibration frequency of the mirror assembly. The adjustment of the ballast position is made either by moving the adjustment of rods secured to the ballast relative to the mirror assembly or by moving the ballast relative to the adjustment rod. The ballast absorbs the mirror vibration and thereby reduces the need for reenforcing mounting hardware and braces.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for synchronizing the phase of a transit exchange in a digital communication network. The transit exchange has a signal-controlled oscillator with an output signal which depends on the collectively weighted phase difference between the local exchange clock and the clock of the other exchanges. To avoid phase jumps, a signal corresponding to the phase difference is sampled, the sampled values differentiated, the differentiated values compared with a limit value employing a phase jump when exceeded, and when this value is exceeded a signal with the control signal's highest value but with opposite sign is added to form a compensation signal, this compensation signal being added to the differentiated value, and after possible weighting the differentiated value is summed with corresponding differentiated values from comparison with the phases of other links, and the sum value integrated to obtain a resulting control signal.

Abstract: A simple method and apparatus are disclosed for producing high power gigat level millimeter radiation from an intensely oscillating relativistic turbulent electron plasma created in and beyond the gap of a high voltage diode configuration. The diode is comprised of an explosive cathode emitter and an extended anode structure connected to the inner and outer conductors, respectively, of a high voltage pulse line under conditions of space charge saturation. The gap spacing and voltage determine the dominate mode of the turbulent longitudinal waves which are directly converted into free transverse waves polarized parallel to the electron beam. A simple coaxial reflector-antenna system is also utilized to direct and focus the resultant radiation.

Abstract: A teaching aid in the form of manipulative chromosomal models is described. Each chromosomal model contains at least two subunits, each subunit being provided with separable connectors at each end in the form of hook and loop type fasteners. A pair of chromosomal models of contrasting color permits the study of the behavior of the orientations and movements of chromosomal material during the cell reproduction processes of mitosis and meiosis. Simulated centromeres are provided for the further illustration of these biological processes.

Abstract: A machine is equipped with a rotating support platform, which may have two distinct degrees of freedom or motion in the plane of said platform, which latter may be tilted at an angle to the horizontal. The body of a person mounting and bracing himself, or being placed on such platform is subject to downward as well as lateral gravitational forces as the platform rotates and/or translates. Muscular resistance to this pull produces an unusually effective and relatively effortless exercise and therapeutic effect. Angle of tilt and speed of rotation may be varied to suit the individual. When the body support function is combined with a two directional effect, the user can receive a direct indication of the sufficiency with which he is performing the exercising routine by means of suitably located indicating instruments.
