Abstract: Metering structure includes a rigid strut configured to support an optical element. A rigid shield mounted on the strut has a shield length which is substantially coextensive with the elongated length of the rigid strut such that rigid shield substantially encloses the strut along the entire shield length. The rigid shield has a surface finish which is highly absorptive of electromagnetic radiation in the optical spectrum. One or more thermal insulating material layers comprise a multi-layer insulation (MLI) system disposed between the rigid strut and the rigid shield. Rigid and flexure brackets secure the rigid shield to the strut.

The drive system includes a motor associated with the wheel. The motor is configured to propel the wheel and to apply a dynamic brake torque to the wheel. The service brake is associated with the wheel and configured to apply a service brake torque to the wheel. The drive system controller controls operation of the motor. The drive system controller selectively modulates the dynamic brake torque to the wheel based on traction conditions. The service brake controller controls operation of the service brake. The service brake controller may selectively modulate the service brake torque to the wheel based on the traction conditions. Modulation of the dynamic brake torque may be disabled during modulation of the service brake torque.

Abstract: Stray light in a metering structure is controlled by surrounding with a rigid shield an elongated length of a strut and supporting on the rigid shield a surface finish which is highly absorptive of light. The strut is thermally decoupled from the rigid shield using a plurality of insulating web layers comprising a multi-layer insulation (MLI) system disposed between the strut and the rigid shield. The MLI in such scenarios (1) thermally isolates the strut from the shield (2) serves as a support structure to support the rigid shield on the strut, and (3) absorbs thermally induced mechanical stresses as between the rigid shield and the strut.

When the elongate fastener fixedly connects the head component and the one or more punch components together, the longitudinal extent of the elongate fastener is orientated substantially orthogonally relative to the longitudinal extent of the one or more punch components.

Abstract: A can comprises a can body (10) and a lid (4). The can body is manufactured using only a single homogeneous piece of material and has an edge that defines a top opening into the can. The can body also has an inwardly directed bead (23), which extends around the body, is adjacent to the can body edge, and defines an inwardly facing sealing surface (24) of substantially constant transverse cross-sectional dimension along an axial extent. The lid defines an outwardly directed sealing surface which abuts the inwardly facing sealing surface presented by the inwardly directed bead in order to seal the lid to the can body. An alternative can body has an inwardly directed pinched or collapsed bead which defines an upwardly facing sealing surface (34) for engagement with a downwardly facing sealing surface of a can lid. The alternative can body additionally has an inwardly directed bead (35) between the can body edge and the pinched or collapsed bead.
