Abstract:
An optical apparatus for displaying spectral images is disclosed, the device including two reflecting planes fixed at right angles to each other but displaceable with respect to an image plane to permit a scanning of an optical image. Both reflecting planes are at a 45* angle with the image plane, and the line of intersection of the two reflecting planes oscillates in a direction which is transverse to the line of intersection of the reflecting planes, whereby the image is scanned sinusoidally past an opening in the image plane. A light-sensitive element behind the opening transforms the light into an electrical signal which corresponds in amplitude to the light intensity and which can be displayed on an oscilloscope. A sensing means tracks the swing movement, generating a signal which may be used as one coordinate axis of the oscilloscope display. A phase correction network is located between the sensing means and the oscilloscope so that the correct phase relationship between the oscillating swing and the display may be obtained.
Abstract:
The nozzle from which primary fluid issues has its axis transverse to a pair of spaced apart wall members. It extends through one of the wall members, in which there are secondary fluid inlet means, and has its mouth spaced from the other wall member so that the latter divergingly deflects the incoming primary fluid.
Abstract:
A specimen plate having a lengthwise slidable cover is placed on a carriage to move therewith into and out of an isolation chamber. A cover holder, movable in and out both relative to the carriage and with it, detachably retains the cover and prevents it from moving with the carriage beyond predetermined limits, so that the specimen plate is slid out of the cover and exposed while moving into the isolation chamber with the carriage, and is slid back into the cover as it is moved out of the isolation chamber.
Abstract:
In spiral scanning apparatus for bubble chamber photographs, comprising an elongated plane mirror which is lengthwise inclined upwardly and outwardly to an axis about which it rotates, to reflect toward the axis light shone downwardly onto it, and a periscope which rotates to have its eye face the mirror and simultaneously moves axially to scan along it, superimposed slotted fixed and movable mask means in front of the periscope eye enable sensitivity and selectivity to be adjusted for different photographs.

1,212,705. Propulsion jet deflection by blown flaps. SAAB A.B. 28 Nov., 1967 [29 Nov., 1966], No. 54071/67. Heading B7G. [Also in Division F2] An aircraft wing 2 comprises a trailing edge flap 9 pivotable about an axis 13 below the wing from a first position A where it forms a smooth continuation of the wing to a second position D where it forms an acute angle with the undersurface of the wing, a slot 21 between the forward edge of the flap and the main body of the wing, a gas turbine engine 5 mounted on the wing forward of the flap and the slot, a lower flap 23 movable (e.g. about axis 23) in dependence on the movement of the flap 9 (e.g. via a link 24 between a first position where it closes the slot to a second position corresponding to position D of the flap 9 where exhaust air flow from the engine 5 is deflected upwardly through the slot, an upper flap 25 movable from a position A where it forms a smooth continuation of the wing contour, and a position D at an acute angle with the upper surface of the wing, and control means 18 to co-ordinate the flap movements. The above arrangement may comprise the inboard halves of the wings, the outboard halves comprising further trailing edge flaps 7, upper flaps 8 and also leading edge flaps 6 which when extended provide further slots 6a and 6b through the wing. These flaps together with the undercarriage 30 may have their movements also controlled by the pilot's control means 18. All flap and undercarriage movement may be provided by hydraulic actuators 16, 26, 31, 32, 33 and 34. The lower end of the forward wall of the passage 21 may be rounded, and the flap 23 may itself be slotted. When the trailing edge flaps 7, 9, lower flaps 23 and leading edge flaps 6 are moved to the positions B, the left of the wing is increased due to increased camber and boundary layer control provided by air passing through the slots 6a, 6b, 12 and 21.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an antenna array including an integral antenna element structure mounted on a substrate. The integral antenna element structure includes a first set of antenna elements and a second set of antenna elements. Each antenna element including a first body and an adjacent second body. The second body is branched into a first leg and a second leg, wherein a transition pin forms an integral part with said first leg. The first set, and second sets of antenna elements are arranged such that the first body and the second body of each adjacent antenna element form a common tapered structure.
