Title: Improvements in Receivers for Wireless Telegraphy.
IPC: H03D1/10
Filed: 1918-06-28
Abstract: 134,246. Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co., and Franklin, C. S. June 28, 1918. Wireless telegraphy.-A wireless telegraph receiver, specially adapted for short waves, and of the kind in which a tuned secondary circuit is connected across two electrodes of a thermionic valve, is arranged so that the variations of potential produced by the received waves cause the potential of the filament relative to its surroundings to vary more than the potential of the other electrode relative to its surroundings. This is effected by reducing the capacity at the filament end of the secondary to the minimum. The thermionic valve may be of the two-electrode or three-electrode type, the former being shown. The secondary 4 is formed of two separate windings connected respectively at one end to the terminals of the filament 2, and at the other end to the heating-battery 13 through long choking-coils 8, 9. The tuning-condenser 6, 7 is preferably in two parts each connected across a coil of the secondary 4. The anode 3 is connected through a choking-coil 14 and transformer primary 15 to the positive side of a battery 18 of adjustable voltage, the negative side of which is connected to the heating-battery 13. The circuit of the telephone or other indicator includes the secondary 16 of the transformer 15, 16. The choking-coils 8, 9, 14 prevent oscillations picked up by the telephone and battery wires from affecting the circuit 4, 6, 7. Fixed condensers 10, 11 are connected between the anode 3 and the battery ends of the secondary coils 4.

Abstract: 573,405. Electric control systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. July 2, 1943, No. 10767. Convention date, Sept. 14, 1942. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Groups XXXIX and XL] Two thermionic tubes A1, G1, A2, G2, which may have the same envelope and may.have the same or different characteristics are associated with means for applying various voltages to their grids through high resistances R4, R5 and further means for varying a common voltage applied to their cathode or cathodes, the arrangement being such that for any particular pair of grid voltages, only one cathode voltage causes their anode currents to differ by an effective amount. Alternatively the common voltage may be applied to the grids and the various voltages to the cathodes. The anode currents may feed the respective windings of a differential relay or, as shown, may produce voltages which are applied to the respective control electrodes, e.g. CE1, CE2, of a gasfilled discharge tube of hot or cold-cathode type. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the cathode voltage is varied by a selector switch the driving circuit of which is opened by a relay in the main discharge path of a coldcathode tube GV. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the tubes have different characteristics and the same adjustable voltage may be applied to both the grids. Alternatively, the voltages may differ by a constant amount In a modification, Fig. 5 (not shown), a twin tube and a gas-filled tube, as shown in Fig. 1, are provided for each of a number of control operations, the grids of the tubes being separately biassed and the cathodes connected together and to an adjustable source of potential by which a break down may be caused in any of the gas filled tubes according to the potential selected. In an automatic exchange system, Fig. 6, a digit register controls the respective potentials of the grids of a twin tube like that shown in Fig. 1 and a group selector hunts for a cathode potential that will cause a breakdown of GV and consequent operation of a stopping relay GVR. In other arrangements, Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown), the double tube is coupled to the gas-filled tube with the aid of ordinary and differential transformers. The system may be applied inter alia to the control of lifts, calculating machines and telegraph or ticket printers.

Abstract: 1,274,789. Head-up displays. FERRANTI Ltd. April 19, 1971 [March 6, 1970], No. 10791/70. Heading G2J. A head-up display system ensures that a pilot must move his head to a correct position to align a marker, thus correcting any parallax error. A heading marker H, moved under the control of an inertial navigation system, projects light through a collimating lens L and a sighting marker S to a partially reflecting mirror R in the pilots line of sight. The pilot can only see the image of the heading marker H when it is aligned with the sighting marker S and must move his head to effect such alignment. The sighting marker may be an opaque shutter with an aperture A corresponding to the image shape, a coloured filter with an aperture in it so that the image appears coloured when the pilots head is incorrectly positioned or may be a coloured filter shaped as the image.
