    Description: A comprehensive characterization program is underway at JPL to generate test data on long-life, miniature Stirling-cycle cryocoolers for space application. The key focus of this paper is on the thermal performance of the British Aerospace (BAe) 80 K split-Stirling-cycle cryocooler as measured in a unique calorimetric thermal-vacuum test chamber that accurately simulates the heat-transfer interfaces of space. Two separate cooling fluid loops provide precise individual control of the compressor and displacer heatsink temperatures. In addition, heatflow transducers enable calorimetric measurements of the heat rejected separately by the compressor and displacer. Cooler thermal performance has been mapped for coldtip temperatures ranging from below 45 K to above 150 K, for heatsink temperatures ranging from 280 K to 320 K, and for a wide variety of operational variables including compressor-displacer phase, compressor-displacer stroke, drive frequency, and piston-displacer dc offset.

    Description: This paper provides a summary overview of the vibration characteristics of split Stirling cryocoolers of the Oxford type and describes means being developed to achieve vibration levels consistent with the exacting requirements of sensitive infrared spectrometer instruments currently under development for NASA applications. A key emphasis of the paper is on exploring both active and passive means of reducing the residual upper harmonics of the drive frequency that remain with nulled back-to-back compressor and displacer units. Vibration supression results, measured with JPL's unique six-DOF force dynamometer, are presented for an 80 K Stirling cooler.

    Description: For redundant miniature Stirling-cycle cryocoolers in space applications, the off-state heat conduction down the coldfinger of one cooler is a parasitic heat load on the other coolers. At JPL, a heat flow transducer specifically designed to measure this load has been developed, and measurements have been performed on the coldfinger of a British Aerospace 80 K Stirling cooler with the tip temperature ranging between 40 and 170 K. Measurements have also been made using a transient warmup technique, where the warmup rates of the coldtip under various applied heat loads are used to determine the static conduction load. There is a difference between the results of these two methods, and these differences are discussed with regard to the applicability of the transient warmup method to a nonoperating coldfinger.

    Description: A 4 to 15 K magnetic refrigerator to test as an alternative to the Joule-Thomson circuit as the low temperature stage of a 4 to 300 K closed-cycle refrigerator was developed. The reciprocating magnetic refrigerator consists of two matrices of gadolinium gallium garnet spheres located in tandem on a single piston which alternately moves each matrix into a 7 telsa magnetic field. A separate helium gas circuit is used as the heat exchange mechanism for the low and the high temperature extremes of the magnetic refrigerator. Details of the design and results of the initial refrigerator component tests are presented.

    Description: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for a magnetic refrigeration system. A continuously reciprocating displacer houses at least a pair of paramagnetic substances each of which is alternately driven into and out of a magnetic field. Two separate bidirectional pumping systems flow helium gas through the displacer and through both paramagnetic substances to create heat exchange conditions at two separate temperature extremes.

    Description: The test results are presented of an initial cold helium ejector design that can be installed on a closed cycle refrigerator to provide refrigeration at temperatures below 4.2 K. The ejector, test apparatus, instrumentation, and test results are described. Tests were conducted both at room temperature and at cryogenic temperatures to provide operational experience with the ejector as well as for future use in the subsequent design of an ejector that will provide refrigeration at temperatures below 3 K.

    Description: A wide range of ion beam etch parameters capable of producing uniform homogeneous alignment of nematic liquid crystals on SiO2 films are discussed. The alignment surfaces were generated by obliquely incident (angles of 5 to 25 deg) argon ions with energies in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 KeV, ion current densities of 0.1 to 0.6 mA sq cm and etch times of 1 to 9 min. A smaller range of ion beam parameters (2.0 KeV, 0.2 mA sq cm, 5 to 10 deg and 1 to 5 min.) were also investigated with ZrO2 films and found suitable for homogeneous alignment. Extinction ratios were very high (1000), twist angles were small ( or = 3 deg) and tilt-bias angles very small ( or = 1 deg). Preliminary scanning electron microscopy results indicate a parallel oriented surface structure on the ion beam etched surfaces which may determine alignment.

    Description: The aversive action of visual stimuli was studied in two groups of pigeons which received response-contingent or noncontingent electric shocks in cages with translucent response keys. Presentation of grain for 3 sec, contingent on key pecking, was the visual stimulus associated with conditioned punishment or suppression. The responses of the pigeons in three different experiments are compared.
