Abstract: 863,932. Magnetic amplifiers. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. Nov. 11, 1958 [Nov. 14, 1957], No. 36203/58. Class 40 (9). A resetting magnetic amplifier which has diode clamp circuits 21, 22 and 41, 42, in its reset and set circuits takes A.C. voltages, to drive the set and rest circuits and to control the clamp circuits, from an auto-transformer 60. The clamp circuits act as sneak suppressors. The auto-transformer has terminals A to F, terminal E not being used unless the output of the amplifier is required to have reverse phase when connections to the auto-transformer are reversed and terminal B becomes spare. The reset winding 32 may be driven from terminal C instead of B, the driving half-cycle being delayed at terminal C due to a saturable core 70. As shown in Fig. 2, the reset circuit may be modified so as to reset the amplifier only in response to an input voltage at terminal 10 during half-cycles when clamp circuit 21, 22 is open. The terminals 37 and 44 are connected to terminals F and A in this event. Specification 863,931 is referred to.

Abstract: 344,074. Valve amplifying circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. and STRONG, C. E., Columbia House, Aldwych, London. Dec. 5, 1929, No.37310. [Class 40 (v).] In order to permit the use of a large number of valves in one stage in the amplification of shortwave oscillations, a plurality of push-pull pairs or groups are so arranged that each electrode is excited in phase opposition to the corresponding electrode in the adjacent push-pull pair or group. As shown in Fig. 3 for two push-pull pairs 1, 2 ; 3, 4 the tuned grid circuit comprises divided condensers C<1>, C<11> with their mid-points connected to the filaments, and symmetrically-placed coils ITS', ITS<1>1, ITS2, ITS<1>2 to which the input circuit coils ITP, ITP2 are coupled. The grids of valves 1, 2 are excited in phase opposition due to their symmetrical connection across condensers C<1>1 ; whilst the excitation of the grid of valve 3 is in phase opposition to that of the valve 1, due to the voltage node between the coils ITS1 and ITS\. The tuned plate circuit C<1>2, OTP1, OTP<1>1, C<11>2, OTP2, OTP12 functions in a similar manner. Output is taken from a coupled circuit OTS1, OTS2 ; or the output circuit is connected through condensers across a capacity inserted between the coils OTP2, OTP<1>2- Each valve 1 .. 4 may be replaced by several parallel-connected valves ; and inter-electrode capacities may be balanced by condensers B1, B4. In Fig. 6 the circuit is re-drawn omitting the filaments, and it is seen that the arrangement can be extended to form a chain of push-pull pairs 1, 2; 3, 4; 5, 6 ; 7, 8. The outer pair of lines with their cross condensers form the plate circuit, and the inner pair the grid circuit, whilst the central line is earthed. The system thus comprises an assemblage similar to artificial lines with standing waves, a pair of valves being connected at each voltage loop.

Title: Synchronizing signal separator having an automatic noise gate
IPC: H04N5/08
Filed: 1975-09-15
Abstract: 1525256 Television; pulse width discriminators RCA CORPORATION 15 Sept 1975 37881/75 Headings H4F and H3T A synchronizing signal separator having an automatic noise gate, comprises a capacitor 26 having a first terminal adapted to be connected to a source 14 of synchronizing signals, having a maximum level less than a first level, and noise signals, having a maximum level greater than said first level, and a second terminal, the capacitor being charged from source 14 in accordance with the characteristics of a first charging path, coupled to said second terminal, when said signals are greater than said first level, and being charged in accordance with the characteristics of a second charging path, coupled to said second terminal and to said first path, when said signals are less than said first level. Thus, during a sync. pulse and with no noise, the voltage developed across resistor 36 is insufficient to turn transistor 38 on and so transistor 40 is forward biased. There is then a current flow through resistor 44, transistor 46, the parallel combination of resistor 48 and transistor 50, and transistor 40 to reference potential. There is thus a current flow through diodes 64, 66 coupled in series between a current source 52 and the collector of transistor 50. The potential at the junction of diodes 64, 66 is insufficient to forward bias a diode 68 and a transistor 74 is therefore cut off. Capacitor 82 then charges from source 52 and a voltage is developed across resistor 90, a synchronizing pulse being provided at terminal 96 at a predetermined voltage level. These pulses are coupled to a vertical deflection circuit 98. In the period between sync. pulses, in the absence of noise, the voltage produced at A is insufficient to forward bias transistors 32 and 46. A potential is therefore developed at the junction of diodes 64, 66 to forward bias diode 68, and capacitor 82 discharges through transistor 74. At the same time, capacitor 26 discharges through resistor 27. In the presence of noise, the voltage developed across resistor 36 is sufficient to forward bias transistor 38, transistor 40 being consequently cut off. The charging impedance for capacitor 26 is therefore the resistance of resistor 30 plus the input impedance of transistor 32. The resistance of resistor 30 is much higher than that of resistor 44, so the charging rate of the capacitor is decreased and the change of charge on the capacitor during the noise pulse interval is minimized. The horizontal synchronizing signals are produced at the collector electrode of transistor 80.
