Design and simulation of a unique signal mechanism
Abstract
The design and operation of an unique signal mechanism is described. The mechanism remains locked until a unique signal sequence is inserted and then the mechanism moves to an enable position. An erroneous pattern causes the mechanism to lock requiring manual reset. The dynamic performance of the mechanism is evaluated using Sandia's Mechanism Simulation and Analysis Program. The simulation results are compared to experimental data.
