System Of Extraction Of Volatiles From Soil Using Microwave Processes

View page
US Patent:
8357884, Jan 22, 2013
Filed:
Jul 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/839848
Inventors:
Edwin C. Ethridge - Huntsville AL, US
William F. Kaukler - Huntsville AL, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
H05B 6/64
US Classification:
219679
Abstract:
A device for the extraction and collection of volatiles from soil or planetary regolith. The device utilizes core drilled holes to gain access to underlying volatiles below the surface. Microwave energy beamed into the holes penetrates through the soil or regolith to heat it, and thereby produces vapor by sublimation. The device confines and transports volatiles to a cold trap for collection.

Parallel Plate System For Collecting Data Used To Determine Viscosity

View page
US Patent:
8490470, Jul 23, 2013
Filed:
Sep 29, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/569555
Inventors:
William Kaukler - Huntsville AL, US
Edwin C. Ethridge - Huntsville AL, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 11/00
US Classification:
73 5401, 73 5423, 73 5437, 73 5438, 73 5439
Abstract:
A parallel-plate system collects data used to determine viscosity. A first plate is coupled to a translator so that the first plate can be moved along a first direction. A second plate has a pendulum device coupled thereto such that the second plate is suspended above and parallel to the first plate. The pendulum device constrains movement of the second plate to a second direction that is aligned with the first direction and is substantially parallel thereto. A force measuring device is coupled to the second plate for measuring force along the second direction caused by movement of the second plate.

Method For Investigating The Formation Of Crystals In A Transparent Material

View page
US Patent:
47116978, Dec 8, 1987
Filed:
Nov 21, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/800194
Inventors:
William F. Kaukler - Huntsville AL
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
B01J 1708
B01D 900
US Classification:
156621
Abstract:
A method of observing crystal formation in a transparent specimen (58 of FIG. 5) comprising the steps of melting a portion of the specimen in a heating zone (22 of FIG. 2) freezing the melted portion of the specimen 58 by a cooling zone (20 of FIG. 2) spaced from the heating zone by a gap (42) which is observable by a suitable observing means (30), controlling the temperatures of the heating and cooling zones (22 and 20) to various temperatures to create a variable temperature gradient across the gap (42) so that the freezing isotherm of the specimen (58) always remains in a substantially constant position within the gap (42) where it is observable by the observing means (30), and moving the specimen (58) longitudinally while the temperature gradient is varying.
