...primary field is nuclear weapons effects. But two years ago, he had a sudden notion that certain characteristics of the behavior of radio waves might be the key to a simple and reliable long-range detection system. Since both the ionosphere and the surface of the earth will deflect radio signals, a transmitter can angle its beam upward and the broad waves will carom back and forth between ground and sky as they proceed to circle the earth. Each deflection sends back an echo to the home transmitter, and this "back-scattering" was the phenomenon that attracted Thaler...
...first period. The ball almost constantly remained near the Crimson goal--and twice it was a combination of blind luck and Stone's agility which prevented them from scoring. Once, a Tech attackman lined a hard shot to the left of the goal which Stone managed to deflect, and a few minutes later no one could kick in a ball which rolled around the Crimson cage for nearly a minute...
...work held off the Elis for half a minute until the puck was cleared and stolen at center ice by Bud Higginbottom who fed to Dick Fischer. With only defenseman Bruce Smith standing in the goal Fischer fired chest high from about 18 feet, but Smith was able to deflect the disk over the cage to prevent further damage
...York meeting of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences, Engineer Harold W. Ritchey of Thiokol Chemical Corp. explained some of the tricks that are used to make solid rockets behave. One method, he said, is to put vanes in the gas jet. When their angles are changed, they deflect the stream of gas like a rudder. This system was used on the German wartime V2, but the vanes add a lot of drag, and they must be made of highly heat-resistant material if they are to last even the few minutes needed to do their...
...where measurements can be made of the unusual properties and inter-actions. One method already devised is to place a target in the part of the electron beam; this will transform the electrons into X-rays of very high energy. Because they are uncharged, these rays will not be deflected by the magnetic field of the accelerator and will continue on a straight tangential line into the experimental area. Physicists would also like to be able to deflect a beam of electrons directly into the experimental area, but this method has not yet been perfected, according to Livingston, and planning...
