There is nothing particularly complicated about Notre Dame's passing attack; the Irish run a grand total of six pass patterns. It is how they run them that hurts. Hanratty and Seymour killed Purdue with the "shake and go" (see diagram), so it was only natural that Northwestern the next week would do everything it could to keep Jim from getting loose in the deep secondary. So what did Seymour do? He curled out to the sideline on the "X" pattern and swung back on the "fishhook," made do with 15 yds. at a crack instead of one play...
...colorimeter that looks like a twelve-spoke wheel. A powerful light flashes a beam through the tubes, and photo-electric cells measure the intensity of the transmitted light. A computer converts these readings into values for the pen to draw on the chart paper (see diagram...
Space Graphology. For such satellites as the U.S. Geminis or Agenas -or, indeed, for intercontinental missiles - their shapes are a dead giveaway. When, for example, the conical nose of a tumbling projectile-like satellite is pointed directly at a ground radar station (see diagram), the radar "sees" only a small cross section; the reflected pulse is scattered in all directions, and the radar reading is relatively weak. As the projectile begins to swing broadside to the radar, however, its radar cross section increases; reflections become stronger. When the satellite's flat rear surface turns to face the radar antenna...
With a system called "Sketchpad," which he originated while a graduate student at M.I.T., a computer operator can draw a diagram of an electric circuit or a picture of something like an airplane wing, using an electronic "light pen" on a special screen...
...advances grows almost daily. Last week in San Francisco, at the annual meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society, a novel, three-dimensional fluoroscopy machine was displayed by General Electric. A complex welter of mirrors, polarizing filters, lenses, an image intensifier and a two-cathode X-ray tube (see diagram), G.E.'s Stereo Fluoricon shows a patient to his physician as a green 3-D image, "like a skeleton with its organs hung inside." Other X-ray machines and sonar beams have produced similar 3-D effects, but previous processes were too cumbersome or time-consuming to be easily...
