Title: Improvements in or relating to control systems
Inventor: MCLACHLAN KENNETH ROY
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1960-05-04
Abstract: 922,744. Automatic volume control. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Aug. 3, 1961 [May 4, 1960], No. 15834/60. Class 40 (4). Electrical equipment comprises a number of similar divices having different electrical characteristics, and means for automatically rendering operational a random sequence of selections of said devices accompanied by tests of the equipment for determining which of the said selections provides acceptable conditions within the equipment. The invention is described with reference to the control of the gain of an amplifier, the randomly selected devices being networks of different attenuation (together with polarity reversing means) in the feed-back path. As shown, the input 2 and the output to an amplifier 1 are fed to a gain comparator 3 which provides an output 11 proportionate to the error. The difference between the error signal and a proportional of a steady D.C. voltage on lead 13 enables amplifiers 71 . . . 7n to pass signals on lead 12 from a random noise generator. Potentiometers determine the proportion referred to above so that the larger the error signal the more of the amplifiers are enabled, the operation being on a binary scale basis. Random noise spikes on passing the appropriate amplifier operates a corresponding switch such as S<SP>1</SP> alternately from one state to the other, thereby connecting up an attenuation network R<SP>1</SP> either directly into the feed-back path to provide positive feed-back or via the inverter 6 to provide - ve feed-back. Networks R 1  . . . R n  which are also arranged on a binary basis are thus switched in, in random selections, until the error signal is sufficiently lowered to disable all the amplifiers 7<SP>1</SP> . . . 7<SP>n</SP>. Reference is made to the possibility of controlling other parameters of the amplifier such as phase shift or frequency band and to simultaneous control of more than one such parameter. Use may be also made of the falling of the error signal to temporarily suppress the switch having highest significance to allow the error signal time to fall. Alternatively, the noise might be temporarily suppressed in such conditions. Reference is also made to the application of the invention to chemical or mechanical apparatus with the use of appropriate tranducers.
