...fluid, usually air. The supply can come from a pump, from the hot gases of a jet engine, from air forced through nose vents in" missiles or airplanes, or even from a tank of compressed air. In a simple fluidic circuit, the power stream is fed into the base leg of a Ylike arrangement of tubes or channels. As the stream flows through the Y toward outlets at the end of two diverging arms, a fluid-flow phenomenon, called "the Coanda effect," causes the stream to attach itself to one side of the circuit and to flow out through only...
...control jet" of air, blown perpendicular to the power stream as it passes through the base leg, can force the stream to attach itself to the opposite side of the circuit. When that happens, the power stream flows out entirely through the other arm of the Y. A puff of the other control jet reverses the process, just as a small voltage change on the grid of a vacuum tube can control a relatively heavy flow of current through the tube's plate circuit. Like a vacuum tube, the fluidic circuit can thus be used as a switch...
...Regrettable" Target. Why did Israel attack Jordan rather than Syria, which was the guerrilla home base? That was what Israel's angry opposition parties demanded of Eshkol after the invasion. In a special parliamentary debate, Eshkol ticked off 14 major acts of sabotage carried out from Jordan in the past year, climaxed by a land-mine explosion that killed three Israeli troops on Nov. 12. "It is regrettable," said Eshkol, "that this particular act of aggression came from Jordan." But since it did, he picked Jordan as his target. "No country where the saboteurs find shelter and through whose...
...fighting in the jungles of Tay Ninh 65 miles northwest of Saigon, the enemy last week pulled his oft-employed disappearing act and was virtually nowhere to be found. The 16,000 men of Operation Attleboro, largest of the war, continued the hunt, aided by daily strikes at suspected base camps and depots by Guam-based B-52 bombers and fighter-bomber sorties that passed the 1,000 level. Attleboro continued to turn up Red rice in huge quantities, by last week had garnered a record 2,366 tons, could claim over 1,000 soldiers of the Viet Cong...
