Abstract: A method of making a gaseous fluid data sensor assembly for acquiring data regarding the ambient environment adjacent a surface of an airframe with adjacent air speeds below 40 knots (or another aerodynamic structure with low speed gaseous fluid flow adjacent thereto) having a flexible substrate adhesively conforming to the airframe surface, a conformable cover layer and a relatively thin air data sensor for sensing air pressure between the substrate and the cover layer. The method includes forming a flexible printed circuit on a polymeric film, attaching thin air data sensor to the printed circuit and attaching a flexible substrate to form a conformal air data sensor. The method may also include attaching a data acquisition circuit to the printed circuit and may still further include providing an optical interconnection between the air data sensor and the data acquisition circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved vehicle braking activation system (10), which provides faster response time by using a hand operated steering wheel mounted braking control system. A centralized end ball (90) underneath a pressure plate (12) within the steering wheel (52), depresses an underlying deformable sensing beam (46) when force is applied by the driver on the pressure plate (12). The signal output of a strain gauge sensor (98) on the sensing beam (46), could then provide the input or a braking controller to electronically control braking proportionally.

Abstract: A method for increasing the maximum useable supply voltage in an amplifier circuit is presented. A self-biased cascode amplifier circuit includes a first MOSFET and a second MOSFET connected in series and coupled between a DC voltage source terminal and a common terminal. An RF input signal terminal is coupled to a gate electrode of the first MOSFET, and the gate of the second MOSFET is connected between a resistor and a capacitor connected in series between the drain of the second MOSFET and the source of the first MOSFET. In preferred embodiments a unidirectionally-conducting boosting sub-circuit is coupled between a drain electrode and the gate electrode of the second MOSFET, which may comprise a diode-resistive sub-circuit, or a third MOSFET connected across a resistive voltage divider. The output of the amplifier circuit is taken from the drain electrode of the second MOSFET. These configuration permits the first and second MOSFETs to withstand a larger output voltage swing, thus permitting the use of a higher supply voltage and increased output power, without the necessity of complex biasing voltages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (1) which can be moved around an axis (3) with all technical machine fittings and which is arranged inside a channel (2).  The housing (1) is lowered to the extraction water level of the turbine before an underflow can occur by pivoting the housing (1) around the axis (3).  Net head increasing ejector effects occur as a result of differences in flow speed at the suction pipe end, between the overflow (v1) and the underflow (v2).  The moveable, over-flowable and under-flowable powerhouse embodiment enables high energy production even at high water levels while simultaneously reducing the upper water level without requiring any additional constructive elements and devices, for problem-free transmission of flotsam and drift.

Abstract: On a contour welding machine with welding rollers), the workpiece is arranged on a holder that is freely rotatable during the welding operation. Its rotation by the driven welding rollers engaging the workpiece is compensated to a greater or lesser degree to suit the contour profile by shifting the position of the holder in relation to the welding rollers. This enables contours to be welded simply and inexpensively. With a driven check angle, a skip back to the starting point can be made in the case of open contours and/or friction rollers can be dispensed with.
