Filed: 1967-02-10
Abstract: 1,171,985. Combining and distributing signals. THOMSON-CSF. 10 Feb., 1967 [25 Feb., 1966], No. 6597/67. Heading H1W. A circuit for separating (or combining) two signals respectively occupying the bands O to F 1  and F 1  to F M  comprises two 3 db. couplers 1, 2 having pass-bands F 1  to F M  and connected in the manner shown by filters 3, 4 having passbands O to F 1 . The pass-band of the couplers is defined as the band within which they effect equal division of input power. The input is applied at port 10 and comprises signals in both bands. The band F 1  to F M  is equally distributed between output ports 11, 12 and, after reflection by the filters 3, 4, is re-combined at the output port 13. The band O to F 1  is distributed between outputs 11, 12 in a proportion determined by a coupling coefficient k which varies with frequency, one portion being applied to port 21 and the other portion to port 22 of coupler 2. A differential phase-shift of # (at a frequency between O and F 1 ) between the two signal portions is introduced either by a phaseshifter 5 or by a difference in path lengths. It is shown in the Specification that if ¢ < k = P 11 /P # 1, where P is the input power transmitted to port 11, then the greater part of the power in the band O to F 1  is transmitted to the output port 20. The port 23 is terminated by a matched load 6. A triplate version of the circuit (Figs. 3, 4) uses three ground planes 14, 24, 25, the two couplers being arranged one on either side of the common plane 25. The line conductors are supported between the ground planes by insulators 7 and the two halves of the circuit connected by connectors 8. The filters 3, 4 consist of quarter-wave sections of line conductor.

Abstract: 491,663. Valve generating circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., and BELL, D. A. March 6, 1937, No. 6723. [Class 40 (v)] A valve generator, in which the frequency is not substantially varied by changes in the supply voltages, the ageing of the valve, or the production of harmonics, has a high degree of regenerative coupling (condenser 4) between the tuned anode circuit and the grid, and resistive means 16 in the anode circuit for producing a degree of negative feed-back, the resistive means being connected between a tapping on the tuned-circuit inductance 7 and the anode battery 14 and at the end adjacent the battery to a point at cathode potential as regards the oscillation frequency. If the resistance contains distributed capacity, this is neutralized by a series inductance, and where there is distributed inductance, a network having two parallel branches one containing resistance and capacity and the other resistance and inductance may be used, the whole being purely resistive. The coupling between the anode and grid may be so chosen that the effects of space charge variations in the valve upon the frequency substantially cancel out. Actual examples are given showing the frequency stability obtained for particular values of the circuit elements.

Abstract: 991,470. Automatic speed control. HAGGLUND & SONER A.B. Feb. 22, 1962 [Feb. 27, 1961], No.6886/62. Heading G3R. A reference voltage derived from a potentiometer P is compared with a speed-responsive voltage obtained from the armature M of a D.C. motor which is supplied through controlled rectifier S from full-wave rectifier L. When the speed-responsive voltage from device V, which comprises a potentiometer circuit combined with a filter, is unequal to the reference voltage, an error voltage from comparator J starts a selfoscillating square wave oscillator B. The output of this oscillator is applied to full wave rectifier E supplying control voltage to the rectifier S. The speed-responsive voltage is measured at the instants when the armature of the motor is not carrying current, thus avoiding the necessity for compensating for IR-drop. A diode D absorbs the discharge current due to the inductance of armature M and commutating winding K.

Abstract: 1530684 Testing glass containers in a conveyer system OWENS-ILLINOIS Inc 25 Feb 1976 [27 March 1975] 07340/76 Heading B8A [Also in Division G1] Glass containers 14 on a conveyer belt 16 to be tested for a plurality of qualities (as shown, five) at respective stations B to F, are caused, if defective, (by means not described) to bring about the closure of a switch or switches 58, 68, 70, 72, or 74 (each of the latter is respective to one of the stations B to F). Each switch if closed, causes a pulse to be fed to a respective flip-flop circuit 88, 92, 94, 96, 98 or 100. These are connected in series, and are controlled by a clock pulse initiated by a mechanical switch 36, opened and closed for every interval in passing from one test station to the next. The clock pulse is generated by a circuit 110 so as to have a rise time faster than the transfer time of the pulse through each flip-flop circuit. The arrangement is such that the pulse fed to the respective flip-flop, is transmitted through the subsequent flip-flop, if any, in sychronism with the rotation of an indexing head 12, and then through an additional flip-flop circuit 100. An output signal is produced on a line 56 which is connected to a solenoid valve 28. This causes the container (which has by this time reached a station G) to be retained by the head 12 and discharged by a member 18, instead of being released to the downstream end of the conveyer belt (as is the case if all tests are satisfactory). Each switch 58, &c., is connected to its respective flip-flop 88, &c., via an optical isolator circuit 60, &c.
