Title: Improvements in and relating to regulators for electric generators
IPC: H02P9/24
Filed: 1919-04-08
Abstract: 142,630. British Thomson - Houston Co., (General Electric Co.). April 8, 1919. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-A vibrating regulator ior electric generators comprises the usual voltage-sensitive coil, an anti-hunting coil carrying a current proportional to the exciting-current, and a third coil which also carries a current proportional to the exciting-current, and is arranged to compensate the effect of the anti.hunting coil, so that at high loads, the voltage need not decrease, but may even be maintained higher than its normal value. As applied to a continuous-current generator, the anti-hunting and compensating coils 19, 23, Fig. 1, are in shunt to the shunt field 4 and, with the voltage coil 18, control the vibrating lever 16 which makes and breaks the circuit of the field resistance relay 13. The compensating-coil 23 acts on the lever through the spring 21, and is damped by a dash-pot 22. Adjustable resistances 27, 28, 29 are included in the coil circuits. As applied to an alternating-current generator, a counterelectromotive force machine 40 has its armature in series with the field coil 39 of the exciter 38, the resistance 57 controlled by the vibrating regulator 50 being in circuit with the field 42 of the counter machine. The regulator has a voltage coil 51, an anti-hunting coil 59 energized only when the contacts 55, 56 are closed, and a compensating-coil 60 also in series with the shunt field; an adjustable impedance 61 controls the effect of the winding 60. An eddy-current brake 44 energized by the exciter retards the machine 40. The brushes of this machine are adjustable, and its armature may be shunted by an adjustable resistance 58. On a variable in voltage, the period during which the resistance 57 is in series with the winding 42 is varied, and consequently the excitation of the machine altered; the counter-electromotive force in the circuit of the field 39 is adjusted, and therefore the excitation of the generator is adjusted to compensate for the variation. Specification 21914/02 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to amplifying systems, suitable for use in wireless signalling and for other purposes
IPC: H03K3/10
Filed: 1932-03-30
Abstract: 384,879. Valve &c. amplifying circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Strand, London.- (Assignees of Shore, H. ; 19, Pingry Place, Elizabeth, New Jersey, U.S.A.) March 30,. 1932, No. 9203. Convention date, April 9,. 1931. [Classes 40 (iii), and 40 (v).] Relates to an amplifying system for producing signals having a square wave-form of constant amplitude irrespective of the wave-form and amplitude of the input energy, for use, e.g. as a high-gain limiter-amplifier, as a fading compensator, or in keying telegraph transmitters or in picture transmission systems. where a tone frequency is used as a carrier frequency. In the valve amplifier described, the output of the valve 7 is resistancecoupled to the input of valve 19, the output of which is connected by a condenser 27 to the grid of valve 7. When no signals are being received, the grid of valve 7 is positive and the potential across the resistance 15 counteracts the positive bias supplied to the grid 17 by a battery 21, so that current flows in the valve 7 but not in the valve 19. When signals make the grid of valve 7 slightly negative, the reduction in the potential across resistance 15 makes the grid 17 positive, so that current in the resistance 25 charges the condenser 27 in a direction to make the grid of valve 7 more negative, the effect being cumulative so that the grid of valve 7 quickly reaches the cut-off potential when no further change of current occurs in the resistance 15. When the signal ceases, the charge on condenser 27 leaks away and the normal position of equilibrium is quickly re-established. The output circuit 35, 37 may be connected to either valve by the switch 29. As shown in Fig. 3, the output curve C has an amplitude independent of the input voltages such as A, B. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the resistances 15, 25 are replaced by potentiometers to facilitate adjustment.

Title: Electronic timepiece and method for testing operation of the same

Filed: 1976-03-09
Abstract: 1537524 Electronic watches CITIZEN WATCH CO Ltd 9 March 1976 [11 March 1975] 09303/76 Heading G3T A digital electronic timepiece is provided with a manual selector switch S2, Fig. 2 (not shown) for selecting a digit to be corrected, and a correction switch S1, and test terminals T 1 , T 2 , T 3  for testing the operation of the various counters in the timepiece. The digit selected for correction is flashed. The timepiece Figs. 3a, 3b, comprises a crystal controlled oscillator 16 and a frequency divider 18 providing a 1Hz timing signal to a counter chain 22, 26, 30, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 50, counting seconds, minutes, hours, 12 hours, (AM/PM) days, month, year. Counter 36 takes account of the number of days in a month and leap year. Between each counter and the preceding stage is an input control circuit 20, 24, 28, 34, 38, 42, 52 respectively, each having a respective control terminal Z 1  to Z 7 . When this terminal is set at logic "O" by respective signal Z from a control circuit 48 detailled in Fig. 4, (not shown) signals from the preceding counter are passed to next succeeding counter. When the control signal is set a "1", a signal P is injected into the succeeding counter for testing and correcting as described below. The control circuit unit 48 comprises a display mode selection and correction circuit (81, Fig. 4) and a "test" mode selection circuit (83). Setting. Display and correction is performed in response to operation of the switches, S 1  , S 2  as set forth in the table Fig. 8 (not shown). The selection circuit (81) includes a 3-stage binary counter which is clocked by operation of S 2  and its count states are de-coded in a matrix gate circuit to give eight outputs such that each time S 2  is depressed the counter is stepped by one, a selection signal CS or CM or CH &c. is produced thereby and a different set of data is selected for correction. A correction signal P produced upon depression of switch S 1 , is then injected into the selected counter, the counter being advanced by one unit each time S 1  is depressed. The control circuit 48 also produces display modulation signals D r1  to D r4 , which are respectively applied to driver circuits to cause flashing of a digit selected for correction.  Hours and mins are normally displayed, but upon depression of S 1  once, when in a non-correcting mode, changes the display to days and month for a predetermined period. Testing. To select a particular test mode, a particular combination of logic signals is applied to terminals T 1 , T 2 , T 3 . A table Fig. 9 (not shown) sets forth the respective modes for a plurality of different logic level combinations. In mode 5 for example, control signals Z 2 -Z 7  are produced whereby the input control circuits apply an 8 Hz signal i.e. the signal P, from a source (not shown) coupled to switch S1, into all the counters so that they will be simultaneously incremented by N units. In mode 6, the 8 Hz signal is applied to the seconds counter so that combined operation of all of the counters can be tested.
