Multiple stage multiple filter hydrate store

Patent Bjorkman, Jr., Harry K. (Birmingham, MI)

An improved hydrate store for a metal halogen battery system is disclosed which employs a multiple stage, multiple filter means or separating the halogen hydrate from the liquid used in forming the hydrate. The filter means is constructed in the form of three separate sections which combine to substantially cover the interior surface of the store container. Exit conduit means is provided in association with the filter means for transmitting liquid passing through the filter means to a hydrate former subsystem. The hydrate former subsystem combines the halogen gas generated during the charging of the battery system with the liquidmore » « less

Multiple stage railgun

Patent Hawke, Ronald S [Livermore, CA]; Scudder, Jonathan K [Pleasanton, CA]; Aaland, Kristian [Livermore, CA]

A multiple stage magnetic railgun accelerator (10) for accelerating a projectile (15) by movement of a plasma arc (13) along the rails (11,12). The railgun (10) is divided into a plurality of successive rail stages (10a-n) which are sequentially energized by separate energy sources (14a-n) as the projectile (15) moves through the bore (17) of the railgun (10). Propagation of energy from an energized rail stage back towards the breech end (29) of the railgun (10) can be prevented by connection of the energy sources (14a-n) to the rails (11,12) through isolation diodes (34a-n). Propagation of energy from an energizedmore » « less

Method and apparatus for implementing ultra-high stability stages with combined degrees of freedom for multiple axes of motion

Patent Preissner, Curt Alfred; Bean, Sunil Jeffrey; Rose, Volker

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing an ultra-high stability stage with combined degrees of freedom for multiple axes of motion. The ultra-high stability stage includes a base, a driving wedge supported by the base and a following wedge supported by the driving wedge. The base and each wedge are formed of a selected stable material having predefined rigidity and low thermal expansion coefficient. Integrated air bearings, respective driving mechanics associated with each of the wedges and guiding components having selected degrees of freedom enable movement about multiple axes of motion, such as X, Y, Z translation axes, andmore » « less

Multiple stage miniature stepping motor

Patent Niven, William A [Livermore, CA]; Shikany, S David [Danville, CA]; Shira, Michael L [Fremont, CA]

A stepping motor comprising a plurality of stages which may be selectively activated to effect stepping movement of the motor, and which are mounted along a common rotor shaft to achieve considerable reduction in motor size and minimum diameter, whereby sequential activation of the stages results in successive rotor steps with direction being determined by the particular activating sequence followed.

Multiple-stage integrating accelerometer

Patent Devaney, Howard F [Cedar Crest, NM]

An accelerometer assembly is provided for use in activating a switch in response to multiple acceleration pulses in series. The accelerometer includes a housing forming a chamber. An inertial mass or piston is slidably disposed in the chamber and spring biased toward a first or reset position. A damping system is also provided to damp piston movement in response to first and subsequent acceleration pulses. Additionally, a cam, including a Z-shaped slot, and cooperating follower pin slidably received therein are mounted to the piston and the housing. The middle or cross-over leg of the Z-shaped slot cooperates with the followermore » « less
