    Abstract: FIG. 1 shows the adjustable indicating device (11) that is adapted to be mounted to the plate (13) defining a load compartment. The device has a central housing (23) with two wing structures (25, 27) on each side which support conventional switch means (29, 31) having cantilevered arms (61). Extending through the housing (23) is a movable shaft (43) that is spring biased to a forward extended position and adapted to respond against a load being positioned. The read end of the movable shaft (43) has an adjustable cam means (55) which acts upon the cantilevered arms (61) to cause a switching action upon shifting of the movable shaft (42) by a load.

  • Patent number: H183
    Abstract: Poly (p-xylylidenes) having a high degree of polymerization in the form of films, foams or highly molecularly oriented films and fibers are chemically modified from insulators to conducting materials by exposure to either p- or n-type dopants. Poly (p-xylylidene) films are cast from aqueous solutions of a poly (p-xylene-.alpha.-dimethylsulfonium salt) polyelectrolyte. Processing of the films at elevated temperatures can yield both fibers and foams. Exposure of the poly (p-xylylidene) films, fibers or foams to p-type dopants result in an up to fifteen order of magnitude increase in conductivity, while n-type coping yields a nine order of magnitude increase. Doping of molecularly oriented films and fibers yields a highly anisotropic conductor with a greatly improved conductivity in the orientation direction.

  • Patent number: H188
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting medium and high atomic weight eleme includes a sampling mechanism for removing particles of an element to be detected from the aerosol and confining the particles to a selected geometry. The aerosol may, for example, be pumped through a filter with the particles being confined on a defined area of the filter. The selected geometry is then irradiated with x-rays to cause the particles to fluoresce and produce secondary x-rays. The secondary x-rays are detected and analyzed using criteria which determine the identity and concentration of the particles in the selected geometry. The air stream of the aerosol through the filter can be measured to determine the volume of aerosol from which the particles were removed as an aid in determining concentration.

  • Patent number: H192
    Abstract: An optical alignment sensor capable of receiving radiation from a collima light source and subsequently providing orientation attitude and alignment data. Collimated light from the source impinges an aperture plate causing a shadow of the aperture plate pattern to fall across a two-dimensional photodetector array. Since the aperture pattern is larger than the active area of the array, only a portion of the light spots forming the aperture plate pattern will fall on the array. By varying the spacing of the apertures in the aperture plate in a known way, the light spots on the array can be associated with specific apertures in the aperture plate. From the location of specific light spots on the array, the angular orientation of the alignment sensor may be determined with respect to the incident beam.

  • Patent number: H193
    Abstract: An electronic circuit has been devised for precisely controlling the temperature of one zone in response to a change in temperature in another zone. Two sensors, one in each zone, are wired in opposing polarity so as to emit a signal when a temperature imbalance occurs. The circuit is designed to actuate a temperature controller in response to the signal. One application for the device is the establishment of adiabatic conditions for a reaction by controlling the temperature of the zone surrounding the reaction vessel to coincide with that within the vessel.

  • Patent number: RE32323
    Abstract: An examination of the human heart is carried out by means of ultrasound waves emitted by piezo-electric crystals. The crystals are inserted in a holder adapted to be placed on the body of a patient; they are arranged in a row and have parallel axes of radiation. The crystals are cyclically excited at a high scanning frequency, and the echo signals reflected by the heart walls and received by the crystals are displayed on the screen of a cathode ray tube to obtain a cross-sectional picture of the heart. In a modification of the invention, the holder comprises two or more rows of crystals radiating at different angles; in this case the echo signals related to a common point of the heart wall are superposed on the screen of the cathode ray tube by means of a coordinate transformation.
