摘要： A transportation node that orbits a celestial body includes a truss having two ends with least at one end of the truss having at least one coupling tether cable with a tether tip at individual ends. The truss, while orbiting the celestial body, rotates around its center of mass in a direction to control the tether tip in relation to a surface of the celestial body and to cancel a relative velocity between the tether tip and the surface for transferring a payload attached to the tether tip to and from the surface. A method of transferring payload to and from a celestial body includes reeling in/out from an orbiting transportation node a coupling tether cable with a tether tip configured to attach to the payload.

摘要： A double resonator beam force transducer configured to minimize longitudinal pumping by making the beams vibrate symmetrically. This can be accomplished by making the boundary conditions of the beams symmetrical or, if the boundary conditions are nonsymmetric, then by biasing the beams inwardly or outwardly to compensate for the nonsymmetrical boundary conditions of the beams. In the nonsymmetrical case where the beams would bow outwardly at their fundamental resonant frequency or an odd overtone thereof, an inward bias is provided to minimize longitudinal pumping. In the nonsymmetrical case where the beams would bow inwardly at an even overtone of the fundamental resonant frequency, an outward bias is provided to minimize longitudinal pumping. The inward or outward bias is provided in various embodiments by bowing the beams inwardly or outwardly, placing masses on the inner or outer edges of the beams, or tapering the inner or outer edges of the beams so that the width of the beams increase toward their midpoints.

摘要： A two-stage wingless reusable aerospace vehicle having upper and lower stages that take off from a take-off area and separate at a separation point along a first trajectory. The separation forces are generated by air retained between the upper and lower stages, which is at a pressure higher than ambient pressure at the separation point. The lower stage is then propelled along a return trajectory to a landing area. After separation from the lower stage, the upper stage continues to an Earth orbit for deployment of a payload. After deploying the payload, the upper stage moves out of the Earth orbit, re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, and returns to the take-off and landing area. The upper and lower stages are powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene engines. The aerospace vehicle is transported to a take-off area by a transport vehicle having a first fixed carriage and a second translatable carriage that is adapted to move the upper stage relative to the lower stage for assembly of the aerospace vehicle while in the horizontal position. The transport vehicle then pivots the aerospace vehicle from the horizontal to the vertical position for launching.

摘要： An extensometer having two spaced-apart mounting bases adapted to be mounted on a load-bearing structure with its axis of sensitivity intersecting the axis along which load-induced strains are generated at 45.degree.. The extensometer includes a pair of parallel links connecting the mounting bases through respective flexure hinges. In one embodiment, one of the links is also connected to one of the bases through an intermediate flexure hinge so that the link deforms responsive to relative movement applied between the bases along the axis of sensitivity. A strain gauge mounted on this link measures the magnitude of the deformation. In a second embodiment, a strain-instrumented measurement beam extends between the two links so that it deforms responsive to pivotal movement of the links as the mounting bases move in opposite directions along the axis of sensitivity. This embodiment of extensometer may be mounted on the load-bearing structure through three or more mounting points. In order to facilitate mounting of the extensometer on a structure without pre-straining the extensometer, a rigid plate may be connected to the extensometer through a plurality of pins, each of which extends from the plate through the extensometer at each of the mounting points. The pins terminate in a point and they are biased against the structure by a threaded fastener extending from the plate, through the extensometer, and into the structure.

摘要： A strain sensor or extensiometer with electrical output designed to measure relative displacements between two axially spaced points on a stressed structure comprising an elongated body with two end sections and a centrally located flexible beam extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sensor body. Relative displacements of the end sections generate two opposing symmetrical torques at the ends of the beam. These torques or bending moments are impressed onto the beam through two sets of flexible bridges which are symmetrically located but unequally spaced on opposite sides of the beam. These two torques or couples cause the beam to bend evenly over its entire length. Resistance strain gages bonded to both sides of the beam at its center measure this bending.

摘要： A load cell having a parallelogram configuration formed by a pair of spaced-apart, generally parallel force-receiving members interconnected by a cantilever beam and a parallel spacer beam. The cantilever beam projects perpendicularly from one of the force-receiving members, and its end is secured to the other beam by a flexure hinge. The ends of the spacer beam are secured to the force-receiving members by respective flexure hinges. In order to maintain the parallelogram configuration of the load cell, the length of the spacer beam is equal to the length of the cantilever beam from the beam's virtual pivot point to its end. Rotational moments imparted to the force-receiving members apply forces to the beams along their longitudinal axes without deflecting the cantilever beam, thus making the load cell insensitive to such moments. A reduced thickness portion instrumented with semiconductor strain gauges is formed in the cantilever beam near its point of attachment with the force-receiving member. The reduced thickness portion accurately positions the virtual pivot point of the beam and it concentrates the stress at the strain gauges. The load cell may be used in a scale by securing one of the load-receiving members on a base and mounting a load-receiving tray on the other load-receiving member.

摘要： A thin diaphragm valve includes a base plate attached to a valve attach plate. A diaphragm is positioned between the plates to move between open and closed positions. A spring can be provided between the diaphragm and a sealing flange of a pipe. Because no sliding friction occurs between sealing surfaces, wear is reduced and leakage is also reduced. A pierceable membrane can also be added to provide additional security.
