IPC: H03F17/00
Filed: 1912-10-22
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 24,136. Nicolson, A. M. Oct. 22. Relays, non-circuit-closing.-Electric current impulses are amplified by causing them to affect a resistance in circuit with a large inductance through which a current is flowing, whereupon the inductance produces an intensified impulse. In the form shown in Fig. 1, impulses from the transformer a, b increase the resistance of the device f, causing the inductance e to produce an intensified impulse through the condenser i and telephone or other receiver j. Two variable resistances, one of which is increased by the current while the other is decreased, may be arranged in a wheatstone bridge. Several sets of intensifiers may be arranged in sequence, each acting on the amplified impulse of the previous one, so as to effect an increased multiplication. The variable resistance may consist of a deposit on porcelain or the like of silver, iron, platinum, or other material the resistance of which increases with rise of temperature, or a fine conductor or conductors in parallel in a dielectric heat-dissipating medium; if it is desired to have a decreased resistance with increased temperature, it may consist of a fine conductor of carbon, bismuth, selenium, or other suitable material. To make the inductance e as large as possible, it may have a separate winding k to magnetize its soft iron core to the point of maximum permeability.
