Title: Improvements in or relating to photosensitive controlling circuits
Inventor: MAYER SIMON ERNST
IPC: G05D9/12
Filed: 1954-04-09
Abstract: 793,523. Automatic fluid level control systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. April 1, 1955 [April 9, 1954], No. 10492/54. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XL (b)] A circuit for controlling a load in accordance with incident light intensity comprises an inductive element having a rectangular hysteresis loop characteristic and a germanium P-N junction photo-cell in series therewith, the whole being arranged in series with an alternating current input. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement for controlling a liquid level. A core LF of " Permalloy " with a toroidal winding is in series with the A.C. supply, the P-N junction germanium photo-cell G and one field MF2 of a split field servomotor, the other field MF1 of which is D.C. energized as is armature MA. The illumination of the photo-cell is varied by a shutter LS actuated in accordance with liquid level. When the liquid level is correct cell G is illuminated and has a low resistance in both directions. Hence a current flows in both directions and is not of sufficient amplitude to saturate the core LF. When illumination is blocked by the shutter the photo-cell behaves as a rectifier and saturates core LF. The impedance of LF is reduced. A heavy current flows in motor field MF2 which serves to control the liquid level and reposition the shutter. Field MF2 is shunted by a smoothing rectifier W. Specifications 753,135 and 753,136, [both in Group XXXVI], are referred to.

Filed: 1946-04-05
Abstract: 615,249. Electromagnetic relays. PHILIPS LAMPS, Ltd. April 5, 1946, No. 10605. Convention date, Oct. 29, 1941. [Class 38 (v)] A time - lag relay, wherein the precise moment of actuation or release of the armature may be adjustably determined, has in parallel with its coil 1, a variable resistance 4 and a switch or valve device 3, the arrangement being such that the switch or valve device blocks the current path through the resistance during substantially the whole period of energization of the coil. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement for A.C. supply in which the valves 3 are controlled so as to allow current to pass only from the moment when the supply is cut off. The time required for the current, which now circulates through the resistance 4, to die away sufficiently to release the armature is varied by varying the resistance.. Fig. 4 shows a D.C. arrangement in which a rectifying valve 3 blocks current through the resistance 4 during the energization of coil 1. On deenergization, current flows for a time through 3 and 4. Another valve 10, a resistance 9 and a condenser 11 may also be arranged as shown to time the actuation of the relay. Specification 487,663 is referred to.
