Abstract: A tethered surveillance balloon having a relatively low lift-to-weight ratio (e.g., 1.1) and an aerodynamic device to help maintain the surveillance balloon elevation when subject to high velocity wind conditions at an altitude which is a high percentage of the altitude the surveillance balloon would assume if there was zero wind velocity and all other conditions were the same (e.g. temperature, air density). The surveillance balloon also includes a sensing device such as a TV detector for detecting objects and relaying information to a ground station and with possibly a target designation device, if so desired. The balloon is formed of a material which is virtually, if not entirely, radar and visibly transparent.

Abstract: A collapsible structural member including a plurality of segmental sections and devices for connecting adjacent segmental sections is disclosed. Each segmental section has a rigid, elongate body portion which terminates in end portions. The connecting devices connect the end portions of adjacent sections so as to define a maximal spacing between the adjacent end portions and to permit them to move between a maximum spaced apart realtionship and an abutting relationship. A quickly erectable shelter and a composite, collapsible support beam are also disclosed according to the present invention. The shelter has a flexible cover, at least one structural member including segmental sections for supporting the cover, connecting devices for connecting adjacent end portions of adjacent segmental sections, and a tensionable cable for moving the sections between a maximum spaced apart relationship and an abutting relationship defined by the connecting devices.

Abstract: The use of a mini-aggregate iron ore concentrate uniformly dispersed in an inorganic cement matrix produces a structural product superior in many respects to ordinary concrete. Structural improvement is achieved, especially with respect to higher compressive and tensile strengths, and a significant increase in bond strength to steel reinforcement members is attained. Substantially the same strength can be obtained at all slumps.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions, methods of production and uses of non-combustible nuclear radiation shields, with particular emphasis on those containing a high concentration of hydrogen atoms, especially effective for moderating neutron energy by elastic scatter, dispersed as a discontinuous phase in a continuous phase of a fire resistant matrix.

Abstract: An aircraft for making vertical and short field takeoffs is powered by a ass turbofan engine having a core turbojet and a bypass fan. For vertical takeoffs, the efflux from the bypass fan is deflected downward to create lift. Exhaust from the core turbojet is ducted to turbine driven lifting fans at remote locations to create supplemental lifting forces which also provide aircraft control and stability. For cruise, the bypass fan efflux is discharged aft until sufficient forward airspeed is attained that exhaust gas flow to the lifting fans may be shut off, and exhaust gas flow may also be discharged aft.
