Abstract: A push-to-connect, pull-to-disconnect ball detent coupling (10) has a socket (12), a plug (14), detent balls (22) carried by the socket (12) for holding the plug (14) in coaxial coupled relation, and a collar (70) with two interlocking sleeves (74,88) forming a channel (90). The channel (90) receives a spring biased plunger (72) for moving the collar (90) to actuate the detent balls (22). The collar (70) is biased so that when the socket (12) and plug (14) are disconnected, the ball detents (22) are not maintained in a fixed position. The plug (14) enters the socket (12) through an orifice (96) in the plunger (72) and engages the balls (22) and the plunger (72) to compress the plunger spring (92). On further insertion of the plug (14) into the socket (12), the retaining balls (22) move inwardly into an annular groove (64) on the plug (14) and release the collar (70). The compressed spring (92) then causes the collar (70) to snap so that a projecting shoulder (76) on the inner sleeve (74) of the collar (70) holds the balls in place in the annular groove (64) in the plug (14) and the socket (12) and plug (14) are locked in coupling engagement. To release the plug (14) from the socket (12), an operator pushes the collar (70) against the spring (92) so that an annular groove (78) on the inner surface of the collar (70) comes into registry with the ball retaining apertures thereby releasing the balls from the annular groove (64) in the plug. The spring (92) in combination with spring biased valves (30,50) in the flow passage through the coupling (10) force the plug (14) out of the socket (12).   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A microburst precursor detector samples radar returns from meteorological radar signal reflectors and processes the signal returns in a statistical manner to determine average radar reflectivity and to extract Doppler signal parameters. The vertical velocity in still air and the vertical velocity of the meteorological radar reflectors are respectively determined from the average reflectivity and the Doppler signal parameters. The difference between the two vertical velocities is taken to determine the vertical wind velocity. The vertical wind velocity and the average reflectivity are processed to predict the occurrence of a microburst.

Abstract: A modular housing for a circuit breaker has first and second opposed side panels which engage one another at respective upper and lower edges defined by transversely extending flanges. The mated flanges define the upper and lower edges of the housing. When assembled, the side panels define an enclosure with front and rear openings, with grooves on the inner edges of the openings which receive tongues of respective modular front and rear panels of the circuit breaker housing. The front panel has an opening through which an operating lever protrudes when the housing is assembled, and the operating lever pivots on formations on the inner surfaces of the side panels. The modular construction of the circuit breaker housing allows different front and rear panels to be fitted to a common shell. For example, a range of circuit breakers having different operating handles and different terminal configurations can be provided at a relatively low cost. <IMAGE>
