Abstract:
An automatic monitoring system for alarm circuits used on board aircraft including a uniselector which successively energizes the alarm circuits, each comprising a plurality of parallel-connected alarm devices. Owing to detector means associated to each alarm device and one AND - gate collecting signals from the detectors, simultaneous operation of the alarm devices associated with one alarm circuit is checked and the monitoring proceeds.
Abstract:
Multiconductor cable comprising a plurality of metal wires of high unit tensile strength, at least two wires fulfilling wholly or in part the function of an electrical conductor, a core withstanding the mechanical forces to which the cable is subjected when it is unwound, certain of the multiple wires being grouped to form a multi-strand single-channel conductor in which the mechanical strength and the electrical resistance are locally distributed at distinct location, said cable receiving a plastic protective coating obtained by extrusion or impregnation.
Abstract:
A SPECTOMETER WITH MATCHING ENTRANCE AND EXIT GATES EACH DIVIDED INTO TWO MULTIPLICITIES OF ZONES OF DIFFERENT TRANSMISSIVITY FOR RADIATION TO BE ANALYZED, HAS MEANS FOR ROTATING ONE OF THE GATES ABOUT ITS AXIS TO GENERATE A RAPIDLY VARYING OUTPUT VOLTAGE WITH A FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY RELATED TO THE SPEED OF ROTATION WHENEVER THE RADIANT ENERGY INCLUDES FLUX OF A PREFETERMINED ADJUSTMENT WAVELENGTH, I.E. THAT WAVELENGTH WITH WHICH AN INTERPOSED PRISM OR DIFFRECTION GRATING PRODUCES AN IMAGE OF THE ENTRANCE GATE COINCIDING EXACTLY WITH THE EXIT GATE. EACH OF THESE GATES HAS A CIRCULAR AREA ANGHULARLY SUBDIVIDED INTO AN EVEN NUMBER OF IDENTICAL SECTORS AND RADIALLY SUBDIVIDED BY CONCENTRIC CIRCLES DEFINING TOGETHER WITH THE SECTOR BOUNDARIES A MULTIPLICITY OF ARCUATE ZONES, THESE ZONES BEING ALTERNATELY TRANSPARENT AND OPAQUE OR REFLECTING AND NONREFLECTING FOR THE FLUX TO BE ANALYZED.
