  • Image stabilized rotational modulator for pyroelectric imaging devices
    Patent number: 4539589
    Abstract: Infrared radiation onto a pyroelectric vidicon TV camera is converted to a stable visible image by recourse to a rotational modulator which rotates the pyroelectric vidicon target with respect to the incoming radiation, about the rotational symmetry axis of the said target, without rotating the readout electron beam of the vidicon. The rotational motion may be continuous or cyclically reversible. Electronic assemblies may be rotated with the vidicon tube in order to simplify electrical contact means.

  • High powered ferrite loaded helicopter antenna
    Patent number: 3936834
    Abstract: An inductive, internally fed, ferrite-loaded antenna mounted at the geomecal center of a helicopter. The antenna is capable of transmitting in the 2-30 MHZ range with particularly good characteristics between 2.0-3.5 MHZ and employs the air frame as a radiating element. The radiation pattern is circular and extends for a radius greater than 200 mi. at an altitude of 300 feet.
