Abstract: A check valve is secured to the base of an air deployable ram-air inflata bag attached in the crown of a parachute or decelerator. Upon descent, air is forced through an orifice in the valve thereby opening a flapper and inflating the bag while decelerating the downward velocity of a sonobuoy attached to the decelerator. Upon water entry, water flows into the bag and expands a sponge positioned in the valve thereby forcing the flapper against the orifice and preventing the escape of trapped air from the bag during low frequency vertical oscillation in a static floating position.

Abstract translation: 止回阀被固定到附接在降落伞或减速器的冠部中的可展开空气的可充气气囊的底部。 在下降时，空气被迫通过阀中的孔，从而打开挡板并使袋膨胀，同时减速附接到减速器的声波器的向下速度。 进水时，水流入袋中并膨胀位于阀门中的海绵，从而迫使挡板抵靠孔口，并防止在静态浮动位置的低频垂直振荡期间将捕获的空气从袋中逸出。

Abstract: Apparatus and method for recovering and arresting an aircraft or other vele. A boom is swivelly connected to a support structure via braking mechanism. The boom is pivotally connected to the brake mechanism such that it can also pivot in a second, different plane intersecting the plane of rotation of the brake mechanism. A shear pin prevents pivoting of the boom in the second plane until the boom has experienced a predetermined load in that plane. The distal end of the boom distant from the brake mechanism is provided with structure for engaging the aircraft. When the aircraft is flown at and captured by the boom, the weight and motion of the aircraft breaks the shear pin, causing the boom to move in the second plane until engaged by a stop. This rapid change in position of the engaging end of the boom in the second plane prevents the aircraft from pendulating about the boom. Forward motion of the aircraft also causes movement within the brake mechanism in the first plane which absorbs the kinetic energy of the aircraft as the boom swivels against the brake mechanism, so that the aircraft is slowed and arrested.

Abstract translation: 用于恢复和阻止飞机或其他车辆的装置和方法。 动臂通过制动机构旋转地连接到支撑结构。 吊杆枢转地连接到制动机构，使得其也可以在与制动机构的旋转平面相交的第二不同平面中枢转。 剪切销防止悬臂在第二平面中的枢转，直到悬臂在该平面中经历了预定的载荷。 离开制动机构的悬臂的远端设置有用于接合飞行器的结构。 当飞机飞行并被悬臂捕获时，飞行器的重量和运动会破坏剪切销，导致吊臂在第二平面中移动，直到停止。 在第二平面中，起重臂的接合端的这种快速变化防止飞机在吊杆周围摆动。 飞行器的前进运动也引起在第一平面内的制动机构内的运动，当悬臂靠在制动机构上转动时吸收飞行器的动能，从而使飞行器减慢和停止。

Abstract: A reserve or deferred action battery stores electrolyte about a collapsed llows in a separate chamber sealed from the cell compartments by a rupturable disk. Compressed gas for expanding the bellows and expelling the electrolyte is contained within a rigid spiral tube within the bellows. A frangible end of the tube is broken off by initial expansion of the bellows when the disk is ruptured and permits the electrolyte to flow into the cell compartments and generate electrical energy.
