...prohibited by a previous treaty.) The 1976 Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty (PNE) provides for the same explosive limits if nuclear blasting should ever be used in such enterprises as mining or canal digging. TTBT requires a U.S.-Soviet exchange of relevant data, which can then be checked against seismic sensor readings. PNE goes even further: U.S. negotiators persuaded the Soviets to allow U.S. inspectors to watch and measure any blasts. (Of course, the Soviets in turn could observe U.S. detonations...
...carried by the Sea Harrier has what the experts call a wide-angle "boresight," the pilot only has to aim in the general direction of his target-within 40 degrees-and press a button. The Sidewinder missile does the rest, homing in on the target with an infra-red sensor that detects the enemy's hot engine or exhaust nozzle...
...Jeeps and mail trucks. The fault lay in a $20 pollution control system part, made for AMC by Cleveland's Eaton Corp., that earlier had passed EPA tests. After several months on the road, a brazed joint in the back-pressure sensor has been breaking and causing AMC's engines to emit 50% more oxides of nitrogen than the law allows...
...Nicholas T. Zervas, chief of neurosurgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital, M.I.T. Physicist Eric R. Cosman, and colleagues at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital have now constructed a remarkable sensor that warns of pressure increases by means of radio telemetry. As the investigators explain in the Journal of Neurosurgery, they drill a small hole in the patient's skull and insert a piston so that its base rests on the brain's outer casing. Built into the piston is a miniature induction tuner. If pressure inside the cranium increases, it pushes the piston up a fraction...
...there is anything on the ground," he said about the Soviet reactor. That was puzzling, since the chief of the crew manning the equipment on the original sniffer plane was a U.S. Air Force specialist who is a highly respected nuclear physicist and unlikely to be confused by false sensor readings. Were the Canadians and Americans trying to bluff the Russians into thinking that their spacecraft had totally disintegrated? No one on the outside could be sure. The search for localized radiation continued into the weekend...
