Patent EP-0016196-A4 (EP)
Title: A magnetic latch device for a clapper type contactor.
Inventor: WOODLIEF FREDERICK E
IPC: H01F7/08
Filed: 1980-03-11
Abstract: In a clapper type contactor (10) having a magnetic latch (20) which retards the movement of the armature until the magnetic force builds to a level that will carry the armature through its complete motion without hesitation Often times in the past, clapper type contactors would have their armatures move prematurely before the magnetic force builds to a level that will carry the armature through its complete motion without hesitation. Contactors including an auxiliary arm spring as well as a closing spring are especially prone to this condition with worn contact tips. The magnetic latch circuit described herein eliminates the foregoing problem by retarding the armature movement until the magnetic force builds to a level that will carry the armature through its complete motion without hesitation. The magnetic latch circuit includes the core (14) of an electromagnetic coil (12), a magnet frame (16) upon which the core and coil are mounted, a magnetic latch (20) having a stop surface (52) resting upon the magnetic frame (16) and a pair of ears (50) extending up from the stop (52) for securing the magnetic latch (20) to a pivoted contact arm (22) and an armature (18) fixedly attached to the contact arm (22) and pivoted therewith adjacent one end of the latch plate and extending down from the contact arm, and an air gap between the armature (18) and the core (14) of the coil (12). These elements complete a flux path for the magnetic circuit. Shortly after the current begins to build in the coil upon energization of the same, the magnetic latch plate (20) goes into saturation and then an additional parallel flux path is established between the core, the magnetic frame, through the heel air gap of the armature, through the armature, and finally through the armature core air gap to complete the circuit.

Title: Shock inducing pod for causing flow separation.
Inventor: VANDERHOEVEN ANTONIUS JOHANNES
IPC: B64C23/04
Filed: 1982-09-30
Abstract: A wing-mounted pod (30) for preventing an unstable increase in the pitching moment of a swept-wing aircraft due to increasing speed and angle of attack. This invention is for use on a swept-wing aircraft of the type having nonlinear, unstable increase in its pitching moment due to a loss of lift at the outboard wing (16) above a predetermined angle of attack at high Mach numbers. For an aircraft having a single, strut-mounted engine (26, 29) on each wing, the pod (30) is placed along the intersection of the upper surface of the wing (12) and the inboard side of the engine mounting strut (26). The pod (30) prevents an increase in the pitching moment by inducing the formation of a shock (S) in the air flowing over the upper surface of the inboard wing (14) at the same angle of attack at which the outboard wing (16) loses lift. The shock causes localized flow separation on the inboard wing, thereby preventing the increase in pitching moment otherwise experienced by the aircraft.

Title: Methods and apparatus for providing an absorbing, broad band, low brightness antireflection coating
Inventor: ADAIR ROBERT W
IPC: G02B1/11
Filed: 1997-01-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to electrically-conductive, absorbing, contrast-enhancing antireflective coatings having excellent optical properties characterized by, specifically, a large bandwidth ratio, i.e., a ratio indicative of the range of wavelengths for which the reflectance value is less than 0.6 %, and a small brightness value for the visible wavelengths. It has been surprisingly discovered that a simple, two-layer substrate coating consistint of only a first thin layer of a transparent material having low refractive index (34) and a second very thin layer of an absorbing, electrically conductive, transition metal oxynitride material (30) provides high performance, electrically conductive, contrast-enhancing antireflection coatings having small brightness values and large bandwidth ratios. The present invention provides antireflection coatings having brightness values less than or equal to about 0.22, and preferably less than or equal to about 0.15. One important advantage of the present invention is that, due to the simplicity of the design and the suitability and efficiency of the deposition of the materials in an in-line DC reactive magnetron sputtering process, the high performance, absorbing, electrically conductive, and contrast-enhancing antireflection coatings in accord with the present invention can be produced in a very cost-effective manner.
