Abstract:
A vehicle exerts a force on a fluid in a container and which force is transmitted to a sensor supported in the container. The sensor senses the force and provides corresponding signals, and means are provided for utilizing said signals to determine predetermined vehicle parameters which are a function of the force.
Abstract:
An induction coil assembly includes circuits photoetched on metallic laminates bonded to a flexible substrate. The substrate is wound on an arbor and pinned, after which it is removed from the arbor, impregnated and machined to provide an induction coil having close mechanical and electrical tolerances.
Abstract:
A permanent magnet torquer-eddy current damper for a gyro includes a copper cylinder supported for rotating with the gyro inner gimbal and a coil assembly mounted on the cylinder. The cylinder is disposed in the magnetic field and relative motion between the field and cylinder is damped to induce currents while torquing is provided through current in the coil assembly. Temperature compensating means are provided for damping and torquing stability.
