9B15.13 | air track timing circuit | AJP 56(10),950 | A circuit that interfaces five digital stop watches to five gates on the air track. |
9B15.14 | mechanical start-stop gates | AJP 48(8),685 | Mechanical gates instead of photogates control relays which in turn can control something else. |
9B15.15 | model race track kinematics | AJP 52(3),281 | Twenty optical sensors with an Apple computer interface are attached to a model race track to give successive time intervals. |
9B15.15 | distributed infrared detector | AJP 56(8),739 | Forty-six permanently mounted emitter-detector pairs are interfaced to a computer. |
9B15.16 | multitimer air track system | AJP 48(1),85 | Photoelectric
sensors combined with solid state memories store a sequence of time intervals
which are then transferred to a digital display. |
9B15.16 | multiphotogate timer system | AJP 55(11),1050 | A
multiprocessor based multiphotogate array system that allows the time interval
between any set of gates to be displayed by selecting from a keyboard. |
9B15.16 | air track multitimer | AJP 50(4),381 | As
the air cart passes along a tape with holes, a light beam is transmitted
to a photodetector. A circuit is given to store and read out the timing information. |

9B15.21 | two glider ultrasonic ranging | AJP 55(7),658 | Modification of the Western and Crummett system (AJP 54,894) to accommodate two gliders. |
9B15.22 | corner reflectors with sonic detect. | TPT 28(6)423 | Simple corner reflectors eliminate alignment problems with reflectors. |
9B15.28 | air track doppler radar | AJP 45(8),711 | A homodyne Doppler velocimeter with two parallel explanations. |

9B15.30 | air track glider position | AJP 53(1),86 | Ferrite
magnets on the air track glider pass by a wire bent into a square wave and
the induced pulses are shaped and then recorded by a microcomputer. |
9B15.31 | induction transducer position sensor | AJP 50(1),84 | A triangular shaped coil is used in an induction system. |
9B15.32 | air track induction speedometer | AJP 41(3),419 | Magnets
mounted on the air cart pass on both sides of a long squarewave shaped copper
wire that goes to an amplifier and oscilloscope. |
