航天飞机的表面磨削

航天飞机提出一系列从未遇到过的工程技术问题。在许多问题中首先考虑的是表面的研制和表面的材质问题——需能够经得住重返大气层时的热量。 现请作者(加工工程师协会副会长)谈谈它是如何制做的……。 对于外层空间研究的下一个阶段将由航     

1968年国际实用温标的展望

自68国际实用温标正式通过以来,巳将近二十年了。这段时间内一直围绕继68国际实用温标之后的温标可能形式展开讨论。的确,在相当一段时间里认为1987年可能为通过新温标的日期。在70年代末期,有关计温学方面大量新工作已经取得成果。从0.5K 至金点1337K 整个范围内,热力学温度的测量已基本上完成或取得很大的进展。我们发现,热力学温度与国际实用温标明显不同,其差值比原来所估计的要大得多,特别是在0℃至460℃范围内。在0℃以下,铂电阻温度计内插方程的新工作表明,可建设一个新方程,比68温标中所使用的更精确更简单,此外还大大

Meteor wake in high frame-rate images--implications for the chemistry of ablated organic compounds

Extraterrestrial organic matter may have been chemically altered into forms more ameanable for prebiotic chemistry in the wake of a meteor after ablation. We measured the rate of cooling of the plasma in the meteor wake from the intensity decay just behind a meteoroid by freezing its motion in high frame-rate 1000 frames/s video images, with an intensified camera that has a short phosphor decay time. Though the resulting cooling rate was found to be lower than theoretically predicted, our calculations indicated that there would have been insufficient collisions to break apart large organic compounds before most reactive radicals and electrons were lost from the air plasma. Organic molecules delivered from space to the early Earth via meteors might therefore have survived in a chemically altered form. In addition, we discovered that relatively small meteoroids generated far-ultraviolet emission that is absorbed in the immediate environment of the meteoroid, which may chemically alter the atmosphere over a much larger region than previously recognized.     

SC切石英晶体谐振器在甚高频低噪声振荡器中的应用

晶体控制的甚高频振荡器广泛应用于具有优良短期频率稳定度和低相位噪声的信号发生器中。这种振荡器均采用工作在泛音模的 AT 切晶体。由于 AT 切晶体谐振器的幅频效应,使相位噪声难以进一步减小。双旋转切晶体(例如 SC 切晶体)的幅频效应较 AT 切的小得多。因此,可使 SC 切晶体工作在较 AT 切晶体所允许的更大的激励电流上。如果能使振荡器固有的相位起伏不随晶体电流的增大而显著增大,则采用 SC 切晶体元件可以改善晶体控制甚高频信号发生器的短期频率稳定度和噪声。曾用三次泛音 SC 切晶体(而不是用五次泛音 AT 切晶体)进行过100MHz 低噪声振荡器的实际可行性试验。对 SC 切和 AT 切晶体元件的相频特性进行了测量。测量结果表明,晶体元件的功耗能够比使用 AT 切晶体增加6-10dB。对用双极结型晶体管振荡器的噪声源的检查表明,二次及三次失真是造成实际振荡器呈现显著相位闪变的原因。从解凡得堡(微分)方程中出现的频率校正项可了解到减小频率闪变的要求。桥式 T 形振荡器适合于作 SC 切甚高频晶体振荡维持电路。曾研究过这种电路的噪声源(包括调幅闪变噪声的幅相变换),并得到了对上述振荡器所预期的 L(f)的估算值。对相同的一对振荡器进行了测量,预计的 L(f)和所测得的 L(f)很一致。结果表明,和 AT 切甚高频晶体控制振荡器相比较,SC 切晶体控制的甚高频振荡器的L(f)得到了显著改善。     

远站跟踪转换方程的推导

托诺帕试验靶场需要一种可以用小型计算机在很短时间完成跟踪数据精确视差修正的方法。本文推导了一种球面变换方程,用于地球表面上的一定范围内时,可以给出非常精确的结果。在16位小型计算机上,计算速度很快,因为它不需要浮点计算,并且几乎不需要双倍字长处理。结果表明,计算的目标位置与用地心变换公式计算的位置相比较,精确度在一荚尺以内。

Bright light as a chronobiological countermeasure for shiftwork in space

Work-rest schedules during long duration space missions involve several factors which could disrupt sleep and circadian temporal organisation: (1) displacement of sleep due to two-shift operations; (2) planned or unplanned schedule changes due to operational requirements; (3) social and light Zeitgebers different from those on earth; (4) changes in the gravitational exposure. Timed bright light treatment has the potential to accelerating adaptation to schedule changes. Four male subjects were exposed to two sessions of 11 d of simulated microgravity (6 ° head down tilt bedrest) with 6-h extensions of the wake period on 2 days (12-h phase delay). In a blind crossover design, subjects were exposed to bright light (> 3500 lux) for 5 h on each of the 2 shift days and the following day, at times either expected to accelerate the adjustment to the phase delay (experimental condition) or to have no phase shifting effect (control condition). Sleep was recorded polygraphically, the circadian system was monitored by recordings of heart rate and body temperature, and by collection of urine (electrolyte and hormone excretion). Only the rhythms of 6-hydroxymelatoninsulphate and potassium excretions showed significantly enhanced adjustment under the experimental condition. Different rhythms Actapted to the 12-h delay at different rates, comparable to those observed after time zone shifts. Sleep was shorter in simulated weightlessness than in normal ambulatory age-matched subjects, consistent with the shorter sleep durations characteristic of space flight. These results confirm the disruptive effects of wake-rest schedule shifts on sleep and circadian rhythms. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, 5-h exposures to bright light finishing at the time of the circadian temperature minimum were not more effective at accelerating adjustment to a 12-h schedule delay than exposures coinciding with the temperature maximum. We conclude that, while bright light may accelerate adjustment to work-rest schedule delays, any such effect seems to be largely independent from the timing of the light exposure.     

飞行模拟摄象装置中解决景深问题的新方法

在飞行模拟目视系统中,象是由闭路电视的光学探头由地景模型摄取的,对横过整个象区的模型表面成象,特别是当探头入瞳非常接近模型时的成象是一个重要的问题。当我们试图改善闭路电视摄象机的鉴别率和减小地景模型的比例时,这个问题就更加大了,使得在探头光学系统内部移动和倾斜透镜的普通技术对某些重要的探头系统不足以解决问题。对于大范围的物体共轭距离,探头系统光学象差的校正是一个密切相关的问题。对于标准的电视系统和激光电视系统中的这些问题都作了评论。叙述了一种新型的倾斜透镜系统。
