Theory of Blind Navigation by Dynamical Measurements

A study of the differential equation in the blind navigation theory. The position of the vehicle is determined from dynamical measurements of the nongravitational acceleration b made internally.

End-cooling of power tube filaments.

A study of a method which designs the end portion of a filament. The differential equation is studied which defines the temperature distribution in that portion of the vacuum tube filament that is cooled by conduction, and radiation is solved by nume...

Are the Cominform Countries Using Hypnotic Techniques to Elicit Confessions in Public Trials?

Study from 1949 that examines Russian techniques of psychological warfare, including speculation the Russians were using hypnosis to elicit confessions from persons who might not otherwise comply with demands for public recantation.

On a Minimum Problem

An attempt to fit a function of two variables by the sum of two functions of single variables. The best approximating sum is determined with the sum of the squares of the deviations minimized.
