Title: Selector switches
IPC: H03K19/096
Filed: 1970-12-18
Abstract: 1333931 Transistor logic circuits RCA CORPORATION 18 Dec 1970 [27 March 1970 11 May 1970] 60157/70 Heading H3T [Also in Division G4] A selector switch includes a normally conductive device D3 which connects an output W to a point 52 of given potential, n a serially connected switches P12, P13 operable when conductive to connect the output to a potential different from said given potential, and n circuit paths each of which consists of at least two normally non-conductive serially connected switches N10, N11 and an additional device D1, the arrangement being such that the additional device is normally maintained conductive to maintain the corresponding switch P12 non-conductive and the serially connected switches in the n circuit paths may be rendered conductive by suitable input control signals, X1, X2, and thereby render the corresponding switch P12 conductive. A single selector is illustrated, there being one for each row and each column of a matrix memory to be addressed. In operation terminal 52 is at 0 volts. The three diodes D1-D3 are forward biased, due to the distributed capacitances at gates 31, 33 and between W and ground, and the voltage level + V at 50 is applied to gates 31 and 33 and the respective transistors P12, P13 are held off. The + V level at 50 is of the opposite polarity for conduction through transistors N10-N13 which therefore remain off. Similarly the 0 voltage present at terminal 52 causes whatever positive charge is present at output W to discharge through D3 to ground to which the output is clamped. In response to the strobe and strobe signals at terminals 52 and 50 diodes D1-D3 are reverse biased and cut off. The voltage level at 50 is however of the correct polarity for conduction through transistors N10-N13 and thus if all four control input signals X1-X4 are present the zero voltage level at 50 is passed to the gate electrodes 31 and 33 and transistors P12, P13 are switched on. The strobe signal + V is thus passed via transistors P12, P13 to the output W. if however any one of the control inputs X1-X4 is absent during the strobe pulse the respective transistor P12 or P13 is held off since the positive voltage + V at the capacitance of the relevant gate 31, 33 cannot discharge. In a second embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the diodes D1, D2 are replaced by P- type F.E.T.s and the diode D3 by an N-type F.E.T., the gates of the transistors being connected to the strobe and strobe lines and the sources to suitable voltage sources. The diode circuit, Fig. 4, is said to be more suitable for manufacture as an integrated circuit due to its fewer external connections.

Title: Detecting and identifying a radiation source
IPC: G01S3/781
Filed: 1979-10-25
Abstract: A method of detecting and identifying a radiation source close to the horizon with an opti-electronic image receiver comprising an optical system (1), at least one detector array (2), a scanning device (3), a device to rotate the image receiver round a vertical axis and evaluating logic circuitry. For detecting radiation sources, the image receiver is rotated with the scanning device (3) at rest within the receiver and the region of the horizon imaged on the detector array (2) is searched by the image evaluating logic circuitry for punctiform radiation sources. For identification of the radiation sources, the image receiver is stopped, directed towards a radiation source and the scanning device (3) is actuated for repeated examination of the horizon image section surrounding the radiation source. When a moving source is to be identified, successive scans are compared. For the initial source detection, a memory stores the required image and this is correlated with the array output during the rotation of the image receiver. <IMAGE>
