Electrical and Electronic Symbols & Drawing Committee (open access)

Electrical and Electronic Symbols & Drawing Committee

This manual represents the recommendations of the Instrumentation and Controls Division committee on Electrical and Electronic Symbols and Drawing that have been issued to date. Section I consists of copies of the American Standards Association Graphical Symbols for Electrical Diagrams, with certain variations or additions that have been recommended by the Committee to clarify or more positively identify the device or element symbolized. Since publication of the present ASA standards, certain elements, such as the transistor, have come into common use. Committee and represent the symbols have been selected after considerable study by the Committee and represent the symbols that seem to be standard Reference Information series, Interim E--1.

Servo System for Magnetic Controlled Constant Intensity Flat Top Beam Spill-Out (open access)

Servo System for Magnetic Controlled Constant Intensity Flat Top Beam Spill-Out

A uniform intensity flat top spill-out cannot be obtained by manual control for two reasons: 1. The horizontal density of the internal beam of the Cosmotron is far from uniform. As a result, a manually controlled linear motion of the internal beam into a target will result in a non-uniform spill-out intensity. 2. Stability requirements of the Cosmotron magnet voltage are not easily met without feedback because of inherent component stability. The proposed servo system will sense the external beam intensity, and correct the magnet voltage to keep this intensity constant. This servo must operate through the transfer function of the main ignitron system and the flat top filter. Both of those transfer functions impose special problems.

Neutron Dosimetry in and Around Human Phantoms By Use of Nuclear Track Emulsion (open access)

Neutron Dosimetry in and Around Human Phantoms By Use of Nuclear Track Emulsion

The power of nuclear track research emulsion as a fast neutron dosimeter is examined in the exposure of a human phantom to PuBe neutrons. Semiautomatic track scanning and high-speed data analysis obviate the major disadvantages of this dosimeter, and allow the following basic information to be obtained without a serious cost in time: the rulative proton recoil energy spectrum, the absolute differential proton track den sity spectrum, and the average proton recoil energy at various locations in the phantom. From this are calculated the total absorbed local tissue doze due is proton recoils, the local thermal neutron intensity, and that portion of the tissue doze due to thermal [formula] tracks.

Some methods of surface analysis for the prediction of thermal resistance of metal contacts (open access)

Some methods of surface analysis for the prediction of thermal resistance of metal contacts

"Equations for the heat-transfer coefficient existing at the interface of two metals in contact are discussed. The results of applying the equations (with a graphical determination of the geometric parameters) to an iron--aluminum contact are presented. A method is given for performing the graphical analysis by means of a general purpose analog computer. Data are included that were obtained by applying this method to Blanchard ground stainless steel surfaces in contact. Statistical analysis was applied to surfaces to determine the geometric properties of the contact as a function of root-mean-square roughness and method of surface preparation."

An Experimental Study of Phase Variations in Line-of-Sight Microwave Transmissions (open access)

An Experimental Study of Phase Variations in Line-of-Sight Microwave Transmissions

From Introduction: "The purpose of this report is to present an analysis of time variations in: (1) the phase (relative to a stable phase reference) if a 9414 Mc/s signal transmitted over this path, referred to hereafter as single-path phase data; (2) the phase observed at one receiving antenna relative to that observed at an adjacent antenna, referred to as phase difference data; (3) atmospheric refractivity as recorded by a microwave refractometer located at the Haleakala terminal; (4) the wind velocity at both ends of the path, and (5) surface atmospheric refractivity measured at 5 stations located on or near the path."
