  • Publication number: 20200290738
    Abstract: An aircraft store ejector systems and subsystems thereof. Embodiments can include a two-reservoir re-pressurization system wherein a remote reservoir is used to maintain desired pressure in a local ejector reservoir. The system can include a release valve having a vent valve and valve piston. The release valve can control release of pressurized gas to a pitch control valve. The pitch control valve can be configured to distribute the pressurized gas between two or more ejector piston assemblies. One or more of the ejector piston assemblies can include multiple concentric piston stages and piston chambers, the piston chambers configured to contain a volume of gas. The ejector piston assemblies can be configured to compress the volume of gas within the piston chambers as the piston stages are extended out from the aircraft. Such compression can provide a return force to the piston stages.

  • Publication number: 20200158891
    Abstract: Provided herein are multi-channel analyzers (MCA) designed for radiation detections systems. The MCA has an application specific single-chip structure of an integrated circuit chip with at least one instance of the MCA that has a plurality of MCA functions integrated thereon. An analog-to-digital converter and/or a microcontroller unit may be integrated on the chip to reduce the footprint and power and energy consumption.
