Omnidirectional wheel
Blumrich, J. F.      NASA Center for AeroSpace Information
19740205 Feb 5, 1974
The apparatus consists of a wheel having a hub with radially disposed spokes which are provided with a plurality of circumferential rim segments. These rim segments carry, between the spokes, rim elements which are rigid relative to their outer support surfaces, and defined in their outer contour to form a part of the circle forming the wheel diameter. The rim segments have provided for each of the rim elements an independent drive means selectively operable when the element is in ground contact to rotatably drive the rim element in a direction of movement perpendicularly lateral to the normal plane of rotation and movement of the wheel. This affords the wheel omnidirectional movement.

Expandable structures

Abstract: The geometry and design of payload systems of expandable structures are described. The purpose of making a payload structure expandable is to store it, during the atmospheric flight of a vehicle in such a way that either its length is substantially reduced or its diameter is kept at a desired size. Weight is not of first-line importance. 14 pg.
