Title: Improvements in vacuum tube coupling circuits for impulseoperated relays
IPC: H03F1/50
Filed: 1925-06-15
Abstract: 258,328. Standard Telephones & Cables, Ltd., (formerly Western Electric Co., Ltd.), (Fremery, F. de). June 15, 1925. Thermionic relays.-In order that a transient oscillation applied to the grid G1 of a valve V, may actuate during a substantial period a relay PR in the output circuit of a further valve V2' the valve coupling comprises a condenser C and resistances R1, R2, so calculated that the time constants of the circuits concerned are large. Thus a positive impulse applied to the grid G1, by lowering the resistance of and consequently the potential drop across the plate-flament space of the valve V1, occasions a discharge of the condenser C through the resistance R, and valve V, in parallel and a consequent flow of current through the resistance R2. The grid G2 thus becomes more positive and permits current to flow in the plate circuit of the valve V2. When, however, the negative part of the input oscillation is reached, the potential of the grid G1 changes so as to close the valve V1; the condenser C now therefore resumes its normal charge, which flows through the resistance R, only, at a, slower rate. The plate current of the valve V2 therefore continues to flow for a time which can be made long enough to ensure actuation of the relay PR. In an example, the circuit constants have the following values : R, = 80,000 w, R2 = 15,000 #, C = 2 mf, PR = 165 w.

Abstract: 1,198,381. Radiation-sensitive JUGFET. HONEYWELL Inc. 3 April, 1968 [4 April, 1967], No. 16072/68. Heading H1K. [Also in Divisions H3 and H4] A radiation detector is made in the form of a double gate JUGFET in which the control gate is, as normal, heavily doped and the radiationreceiving gate is more lightly doped to provide an extensive depletion region therein for the absorption of radiation. Several detectors may be formed into a matrix. This may be an integrated structure as in the Figure shown which depicts a cross-section along a row of the matrix and shows two detectors 13, 31. The drains of all transistors in the matrix are strapped together and are constituted by the N-type substrate 150. The radiation-receiving gates of the two transistors are formed by respective isolated P-type regions 16, 34. In the particular structure the junction at the lower face of each region acts as a photo-diode connected to forward bias the gate-source junction at the upper face of the region. The P-type control gate region 57 is common to all transistors (13, 31) in the column and with the isolated gates 16, 34 defines the conduction channels 61, 62 of the two transistors 13, 31. Drain connections 11, 27 are row conductors extending across the surface passivation. The output from a particular transistor is obtained by energizing the control gate of that column and taking the output from the drain conductor of the appropriate row. In the manufacture of the structure the starting body may be of the extent of the two regions 150, 56. The radiation-receiving gates 16, 34 are produced by masked diffusion into the top surface of the body and the N-type layer 56 then produced by overall diffusion into the top surface. Alternatively the starting body may be of the extent of region 150 only and the diffused regions 16, 34 may be formed before the epitaxial growth of an N-type layer 56. In a proposed structural modification of the detector the gate-drain (diode) of a similar transistor is connected in series opposition with the gatesource (diode) of each transistor in the detector and is exposed to the background radiation of the image to be detected so that the detector gives no output in the presence only of background radiation. The matrix of radiation sensitive transistors may be used in optical image processing systems such as star trackers (for use in missile or vehicle guidance), map matching systems, optical readers and electrooptical memories (with binary form outputs).
