Unidirectional high gain brake stop [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
This invention relates to a unidirectional high gain brake arrangement that includes in combination a shaft mounted for rotation within a housing. The shaft is rotatable in either direction. A brake is selectively releasably coupled to the housing and to

Dorsal Raphe VIP Neurons Are Critical for Survival‐Oriented Vigilance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
DRNVIP neurons in mice and primates are strategically positioned to influence the central extended amygdala via feedback loops. They regulate the excitability of PKC‐δ neurons in the ovBNST and CeA through glutamate release. Their ablation heightens activity in these regions, disrupts active‐phase sleep architecture, enhances risk assessment behaviors ...

Thermally Programmable Two‐Port Non‐Hermitian Acoustic Metastructure for Broadband and Direction‐Dependent Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A thermally programmable two‐port non‐Hermitian acoustic metastructure is presented, where temperature acts as a non‐geometric tuning variable. Thermal modulation reconfigures impedance matching and loss‐leakage coupling, enabling exceptional‐point driven, broadband, and direction‐dependent sound absorption without requiring geometric reconfiguration ...

A Challenge for the G20: Globally Stipulated Debt Brakes and Transnational Independent Fiscal Supervisory Councils [PDF]

open access: yes
Debt-to-GDP ratios have grown to unprecedented levels in many industrialized economies. This requires disciplined consolidation efforts which are, however, supposed to come now at the wrong time with the economic recovery being fragile.

Brake for rollable platform [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
Frame-mounted brake is independent of wheels and consists of simple lever-actuated foot. Brake makes good contact with surface even though foot pad is at higher or lower level than wheels, this is particularly important when a rollable platform is used ...

Preliminary test results of the joint FAA-USAF-NASA runway research program. Part 1: Traction measurements of several runways under wet and dry conditions with a Boeing 727, a diagonal-braked vehicle, and a mu-meter [PDF]

open access: yes
The stopping distance, brake application velocity, and time of brake application were measured for two modern jet transports, along with the NASA diagonal-braked vehicle and the British Mu-Meter on several runways, which when wetted, cover the range of ...

Air brake-dynamometer accurately measures torque [PDF]

open access: yes, 1965
Air brake-dynamometer assembly combines the principles of the air turbine and the air pump to apply braking torque. The assembly absorbs and measures power outputs of rotating machinery over a wide range of shaft speeds.
