Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for sorting a particle based on a characteristic of a particle.

Methods, devices, and systems for sorting particles

A truss-type structure for supporting a relatively large, heavy gyro-stabilized camera pod in a position forward of a helicopter nose, is connected to the brackets normally used for mounting the helicopter's steps. A counter-weight is internally mounted in the helicopter fuselage.

Apparatus for mounting a remote controlled, gyro-stabilized camera

A timing device to automatically timing the turbine engine cool-down period for a turbine engine helicopter. The electronic timer is activated when the micro-switch on the engine throttle cable is closed, as the pilot twists the throttle control to the ground-idle position. The timer illuminates a yellow caution light on the helicopter instrument panel to indicate to the pilot that the cooling cycle is in progress. The timer is preset to the specified time limits required by the turbine engine manufacturer for the helicopter. At the end of the cool-down period, the timer deactivates the caution light on the helicopter instrument panel and indicates to the pilot that the cooling cycle is complete and the turbine engine can be shut down.
