High-Temperature Thermal Conductivity of Insulating Crystals: Relationship to the Melting Point

Abstract: The Lindemann melting rule is used to eliminate the elastic constant from the thermal conductivity formula proposed by Lawson. The thermal conductivity is thus obtained as a function of density, atomic weight, and melting temperature. The introduction of a dependence on bond character allows a major fraction of the available high-temperature thermal conductivity data to be reproduced within a factor of two. A dependence of thermal conductivity on mass ratio of the type found theoretically by Blackman for diatomic crystals is observed.

Modular mail processing method and control system

Abstract: A modular mail processing method and control system that includes a plurality of induction transport modules and a stacker/transport module. The system maintains a real time statistics concerning the mail flowing through the system. The modularity of the system increases its flexibility in adapting to sorting either incoming or outgoing mail. In addition, a variety of readers and printers can be employed in the system to meet the needs of a particular customer.

Magnetostatic wave signal-to-noise-enhancer

Abstract: A magnetostatic wave device having a microstrip transmission line in conjunction with a YIG thin film biased for magnetostatic wave operation at a level where relatively lower power input microwave signals are highly attenuated up to a critical point past which the relative attenuation is greatly reduced. Such devices may be utilized as signal-to-noise enhancers in microwave circuits such as frequency memory loops.

Eigenvalue Analysis of Synchronizing Power Flow Oscillations in Large Electric Power Systems

Abstract: A new computer program is described which permits eigenvalue analysis of the oscillations associated with synchronizing power flow in large electric power systems. The program has been given the acronym AESOPS, for the Analysis of Essentially Spontaneous Oscillations in Power Systems. The program is the principal product of a research project funded by the Electric Power Research Institute. This project was recommended by the Westinghouse Advanced Systems Technology Division and the MAPP/MARCA Dynamic Device Operating Task Force.
