Abstract: A pressure transmitter for transfer of a pressure prevailing in a first medium onto a second medium, including a pressure chamber 4 in a platform 1 , which chamber is separated from the first medium by means of a dividing membrane 2 , wherein the pressure can be transferred by means of the second medium to a pressure measurement cell. For timely recognition of an impending failure of the dividing membrane, an early warning detector is provided with a sensor chamber 6 having an opening, which faces the first medium; and a sensor 7 , which monitors a property of a medium container in the sensor chamber; and a barrier facing the first medium, pressure-tightly sealing the opening, and which, under contact with the first medium and equal conditions as experienced by the dividing membrane 2 , fails earlier than the dividing membrane, thus making possible a flow connection between the sensor chamber 6 and the first medium. Preferably, the barrier is in the form of a sacrificial membrane 5 , which is thinner than the dividing membrane. In this way, it is to be expected that, under corrosive destruction of the membranes, the sacrificial membrane 5 will be destroyed earlier than the dividing membrane 2.

Abstract: There is disclosed an inverter oscillator circuit (10) delivering an alternating output signal (Sosc) and including a parallel arrangement, between an input terminal (A) and an output terminal (B), of an inverter amplifier means (2, 3), a resonator (1) and a resistor (4), first and second load capacitors (5, 6) being respectively connected 5 between said input and output terminals (A, B), on the one hand, and a supply potential (Vss, VDD, VR), on the other hand. This oscillator circuit further includes control means (7a, 7b, 8) for controlling said inverter amplifier means such that it has a so-called start-up transconductance value (Gm) during a start-up phase and a so-called reduced transconductance value (gm), lower than said start-up transconductance value (Gm), in steady state at the end of said start-up phase. The inverter oscillator circuit further includes means (9, 90) for smoothing an amplitude decrease in the output signal resulting from the passage of said start-up transconductance value to said reduced transconductance value.

Abstract: Two fixed-phase-related signals of arbitrary (unequal) magnitude are combined without incurring combining loss by use of a signal reflection technique wherein the higher magnitude signal is phase-synchronously reinforced along its path through the combining system. In a specific embodiment, two signal sources are fed as equal phase signals through respective counter-rotating circulators to a four-port first combiner, wherein the first output port of the combiner is provided with a one-eighth wavelength phase delay to a termination and the second output port is directly terminated, so that reflected signals as seen at both input ports return exactly in phase and of equal magnitude to one another. Thereupon the reflected signals are directed by the respective circulators as phase-synchronized signals to a second combiner which combines the phase synchronized signals into a common output signal. The resultant output is the sum of the inputs irrespective of relative magnitudes of the inputs.
