A liquid sulfur dioxide battery, such as K/KCl SbCl₅ (0.25
molar) + IBr₃ (15 %wt) + SO₂ (1)/carbon matrix is shown to have an
open circuit voltage greater than 3.70 volts and an initial voltage of
3.15 volts, decreasing to 2.40 volts in 10 minutes at a current density
of...
This investigation represents a previously unreported method
of measurement of internal friction in single crystals of silicon. The
method consists of exciting a rectangular reed of silicon of uniform
cross section into forced vibration at its resonant frequency. The end
of the reed is silver plated and eddy currents induced...
Members of the family Simuliidae were studied in a single,
confined drainage system. In addition to determining the occurrence
and distribution of the species present, biological and ecological
observations were made. Specific measurements and observations
were accomplished to determine as much as possible about the habitat
specificity and life cycle...
Nearly 9,000 feet of Cretaceous mudstones, shales, sandstone,
and conglomerates are exposed along the northeast-trending Mitchell
anticline of central Oregon, These rocks are divided into two formations
on the basis of criteria developed in this investigation. The
lower formation, hereby designated the Meyers Formation, is 4,716
feet thick at its...
The Permian rocks near Quinn River Crossing, Humboldt County,
Nevada, crop out as a north-trending block-faulted ridge and consist
of more than 2600 feet of middle Permian fossiliferous limestone.
About 1000 feet of unfossiliferous cherty shales, sandstones, and
conglomerates are associated with the limestone and are assumed also
to be...
The noise problem in air conditioning systems is receiving ever
increasing attention because of the importance of noise on a comfortable
human environment. Some work has been done on the solutions
to the noise problem by an investigation of a few system elements.
The acourstical characteristics of dampers become more...
