Abstract: An apparatus comprises: a case enclosing a space; a power connector, extending through the case, to be connected to an external device; a power switch, retained in the space, and configured to be controlled responsive to commands in a UHF/VHF radio signal received by the power switch; a battery, retained in the space, having battery terminals connected to the power connector such that at least one of the battery terminals is connected to the power connector through the power switch; and an antenna, mounted to the case, to receive, and deliver to the power switch, the UHF/VHF radio signal, wherein the commands include a first command to close the power switch to connect the battery to the external device, and a second command to open the power switch to disconnect the battery from the external device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a rapid, high throughput, facile testing platform. Amplified DNA and CRISPR/Cas9-bound products are analyzed via a lateral flow assay (LFA), and the assay does not require specialized infrastructure. In some embodiments, the testing platform may be used to detect SARS-CoV-2, including, for example, as a test for COVID-19.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for a ram air turbine (RAT) includes a base clevis configured to mount to a housing and to have a base link clevis connector portion defining a plurality of base link clevis connector arms and a base link clevis having a base connector portion defining base connector arms that are configure to movably connect to the base link clevis connector arm. The locking mechanism also includes a pin operatively connecting the base connector portion to the base link clevis connector portion in a rotatable relationship and a spring positioned around the pin, wherein a first spring end abuts the base clevis and a second spring end abuts the base link clevis to bias the base link clevis to an unlocked position. A sleeve is positioned between the spring and the pin to maintain a wind diameter of the spring.

Abstract: An actuator housing is provided. The actuator housing may comprise a body, and a first side of the body including a first pin interface and a first threaded hole clocked relative to the first pin interface. The first pin interface and the first threaded hole may be configured to interface with a solenoid housing. A second side of the body may be orthogonal to the first side. The second side may include a circular geometry with a cylindrical member disposed central to the circular geometry. A toggle assembly interface may be recessed in the second side and disposed within the cylindrical member.

Abstract: A generator has its length shortened by placing springs in a space in a casing that includes an output shaft, which is driven by an input shaft, and a yoke for separating the two shafts. The generator is assembled by placing a spring in a space in a casing having a first part. The space also has a yoke in it. A rotor bearing is placed in the space adjacent to and impinging upon the spring. A second part of the casing is attached to the first part of the casing so that the spring is pre-loaded therein. The generator also utilizes a guide for holding a spring. The generator also has a thrust plate for applying a force of the springs upon the rotor bearing.

Abstract: A rectifier assembly includes individual diodes arranged to form a full-wave bridge such that the silicon wafers of the diodes are loaded in compression. As so arranged, the centrifugal forces add to the compression forces on the diodes and on the electrical contacts therewith. The three-phase (AC) input conductors are connected by conductive straps which connect the diodes through to DC (+/?) terminal ring outputs. One surface of each of the diodes is in electrical contact with a conductive strap which then connects with the individual (AC) phases of an exciter rotor winding. The opposing surface of the diode contacts the ring diode pad on either the DC (+/?) output terminal ring. Two conductive posts, each of which are connected to only one of the DC (+/?) output terminal rings permit external connection to a main rotor winding.
