Abstract:
A zone grid assembly for flagging specified X,Y memory locations for accumulated data analysis and for presentation on a display in connection with a radioactivity distribution detection system. The zone grid assembly includes a printed circuit board formed with a plurality of holes and a pair of arcuate conductors disposed diametrically opposite one another about the periphery of each hole. A plurality of electrically conducting and magnetically responsive balls are slidably received within the zone grid assembly in such a manner that each ball is adapted for engagement and disengagement with one pair of conductors. A magnetic stylus held in spaced relationship with the zone grid assembly operates to actuate a ball in registration therewith into engagement with its associated pair of conductors. In consequence, the engaged pair of conductors are electrically connected and a signal denoting a particular X,Y position in the zone grid assembly is applied to the memory for processing, each X,Y grid position corresponding to an X,Y address location in the memory.
Abstract:
In a radioactivity-distribution detector, an array of light conduits in spaced relation to a plurality of visible light emitters defining a grid network is provided for identifying and specifying the location of an active or light generating emitter. The conduits are disposed in a plurality of row pairs, the first of the pair being in bisecting staggered spaced relation to the second of the pair. Specific ones of the light emitters are in exclusive spatial relationship with selected ones of the light conduits and other ones of the light emitters are in spatial relationship with a specified combination of light conduits, whereby each emitter is identified by either a single light conduit or a unique combination of light conduits.
Abstract:
AN OPTICAL THIN FILM FILTER HAVING A PLURALITY OF ALTERNATING HIGH AND LOW INDEX DIELECTRIC LAYERS SANDWICHED BETWEEN A PAIR OF SUBSTRATES IS PROTECTED AGAINST IMPAIRMENT FROM HUMIDITY BY VAPOR DEPOSITION OF A WATER IMPERMEABLE MELTALLIZED FILM ABOUT THE EXPOSED EDGES OF THE LAYERS AND SUBSTRATES.
Abstract:
An optical image is presented in terms of visible light directed through contiguous light pipes to a Pockels effect plate disposed between a polarizer and an analyzer. Each of the light pipes is coated with a conducting metal so that each point on the Pockels effect plate can be controlled by a potential that is locally applied in such a way as to control transmissivity. In consequence, image information is applied to the assemblage by controlling the transmissivities of the various points independently.
