A waveform-preserving, variable time-delay system capable of
several milliseconds delay is described in this thesis. These considerably
long delays are achieved by judicious use of the relatively
low sonic velocity of gases. Initial system design criteria specified
a time delay of ten milliseconds and a signal bandwidth of 0-10 KC....
A multi-stage, crosscurrent column, packed with Pall rings, was
employed for oxygen absorption from an oxygen-rich air phase by
contacting with water. Mass transfer data were collected for the
column using 6 and 12 baffles and employing a partial gas phase recycle.
Data were also collected from a countercurrent column...
A circuit which functions as a controlled negative-resistance is
described and analyzed; the circuit contains two transistors, a breakdown
diode, and five resistors connected in a stable feedback configuration.
From the analysis a set of design equations is derived.
An experimental circuit is described and a comparison between
measured performance...
