Title: Electrical weighing systems
Inventor: DE GIER WILLEM ALBERTUS
IPC: G01G23/365
Filed: 1981-09-17
Abstract: A weighing system comprises a weigh cell having strain gauge sensors in a bridge (16) which provides an output voltage which is a measure of the weight (14) on the cell. The bridge (16) is powered by a voltage source (17). The voltage signal provided by the bridge (16) is received via amplifier (18) by a voltage-frequency converter (20) and is transformed to a variable frequency signal dependent on the weight (14). Processing circuitry (12) which provides the weight indication receives the variable frequency signal from converter (20) and a reference frequency signal which can be provided by voltage-to- frequency converter (22) driven by a reference voltage source (24). Source (24) may be a predetermined fraction of reference source (17) in which case a calibration network is connected in parallel with bridge (16) and selectively switched by a switch to the input of converter (20) to provide predetermined frequency values equivalent to respective predetermined values of weight (14), see Fig. 3. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2093613-A (GB)
Title: D.C. power supply
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 1982-01-05
Abstract: The D.C. power supply, which is suitable as a D.C. power source for a power supply for a gas discharge lamp, receives A.C. line power and includes rectification means (13) for converting the A.C. line power to pulsating D.C., which is supplied, and filtered, as the input to a switching regulator (16a) which is designed so as to be deliberately nonresponsive to the frequency of the pulsating D.C. so as not to compensate for the variation of input voltage at the pulsating frequency. The output (17, 18) of the switching regulator (16) is filtered by a large capacitor (19) which is sufficiently large so as to filter at the frequency of the rectified A.C. input. The regulator switching duty cycle is controlled in response to the average D.C. level across this filter capacitor and in this way a unity power factor is achieved without third harmonic distortion. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to pumping apparatus
IPC: F04B49/02
Filed: 1982-02-01
Abstract: A sensing device is provided in pumping apparatus e.g. for pumping slurry and operates an alarm or stops the pump's motor (16, 18) should a predetermined limit be sensed. As described a slurry pump has a counting device (50) which counts the number of strokes executed by the drive piston (18) in a specific period of time. A comparison device (54), receives an output signal from the counting device (50) and compares it with a pre-set signal from a selector device (56). When the output signal of the counting device reaches the level of the pre-set signal of the selection device, a control device terminates operation of the apparatus, and energises an alarm to alert an operative. A comparator unit (58) also compares the output signals of the counting device 50 with previous output signals thereof, and stops the apparatus and energises the alarm should the signals differ by a predetermined amount. For details of the electronic circuitry reference should be made to the description and drawings. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2096392-A (GB)
Title: Collector-output for hollow beam electron tubes
IPC: H01J25/02
Filed: 1982-03-09
Abstract: In a microwave electron tube such as a gyrotron, a hollow beam of electrons 34'' passes through the interaction cavity, 40'' into an output waveguide, 46'' carrying the generated energy in a mode with circular electric fields. According to the invention, the beam is caused to expand, passing through gap 56 in the wave-guide 46'' to be collected on a larger, surrounding collector 58. The collector energy is thus reduced. The wave energy jumps the gap and continues down the waveguide. Wave energy leaking into the collector may be absorbed by lossy material 60 therein or be carried off by waveguides to external loads. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2261117-A (GB)
Title: Mixer circuit
Inventor: GUNTON DAVID JOHN
IPC: H03D9/06
Filed: 1984-05-03
Abstract: A mixer circuit comprises two crossed planar dipoles, mounted upon a dielectric insulator or semiconductor body and coupled to a vertically-polarised local oscillator field and a horizontally-polarised signal field respectively. Mixer elements (D11, D12, D21, D22), each fed by both dipoles, are incorporated in the path of each dipole. The horizontal dipole is split along part of its length, this split section (23) serving as a delay-line between one of the mixer elements, element (D11, D12), and the vertical dipole. The vertical dipole is split along at least a part of its length and is open at one end. A connective link (29C) is provided between one of the delay-line conductors (25/11) and one of the split parts (9) of the vertical dipole. Intermodulation signal developed in the one mixer can then be extracted from the split ends (9, 13; 7, 11) of the vertical dipole. The link (29C) is formed outside the envelope of the delay-line (23) and does not affect its broad band properties. A slowing mechanism - for example, combline interdigitated structure (31), can be included in the delay-line (23). Preferably the link (29C) runs parallel to a significant portion of the length of the vertical dipole, the latter thus modified forming a folded dipole. <IMAGE>
