Title: Improvements in or relating to electron discharge device amplifiers
IPC: H04N5/16
Filed: 1935-04-01
Abstract: 454,511. Valve amplifying circuits; television. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Electra House, Victoria Embankment, London.-(Vance, A. W. ; 324, South 11th Street, Philadelphia, U.S.A.) April 1, 1935, No. 10110. [Classes 40 (iii) and 40 (v)] In a direct-current amplifier for amplifying intermittent signals, such as television picture signals separated by other signals such as synchronizing signals, the latter are employed to control the bias on the amplifier in such a manner as to prevent slow drifting of the output current. As shown in Fig. 4 applied to a television system, the picture signals are generated in a cell 19 and amplified in a preliminary stage 23 which is direct-coupled to a two-stage direct-coupled amplifier 29. The synchronizing signals generated in a cell 39 are amplified in the valve 149 and are conveyed to the grid circuit of the amplifier 23 through a condenser 47 and resistance 49. The synchronizing signals occur as negative pulses in the interval between sets of positive picture signals. From the output of the amplifier 29, the synchronizing pulses, which are positive at this point, are applied to the control grid of a balancer valve 123 biassed slightly beyond cut off. The plate resistance 137 of this valve is shunted by a condenser 31 and is in the grid-biassing circuit of the first valve 95 of the amplifier 29. The pulses are thus integrated in the condenser 31 and cause the bias to vary gradually in accordance with any drifting of the amplifier. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the synchronizing-pulses are amplified at 43 and may, or may not be applied to the outgoing line 1, 3 by a potentiometer 215. They are applied to the grid of the balancer valve 123, in common with the output of a blocking amplifier 219, fed from the outgoing line. The synchronizing pulses may be produced by a series of apertures near the rim of the scanning-disc, which is provided with masks arranged to give the pulses during intervals in the picture signals. In a modification shown in Fig. 8, only a single cell 19 is provided, and a single set of apertures 11, Fig. 10, in the scanning-disc 7. A half-silvered mirror 223 reflects part of the light to a mirror 225 and thence to the cell 19 without being affected by the picture film 15. The remainder of the light passes direct to the cell 19 through the mirror 223 and the film 15 to provide the picture signals. In this way the picture never reduces the cell illumination below a certain level, whilst a mask 227 cuts off the illumination completely to provide the synchronizing pulse. In another modification the synchronizing pulses are of the same polarity as the picture signals, but of greater amplitude.

The output from each comparator is a train of pulses having a duration which is a fraction of the time period of the sawtooth, the fraction being determined by the voltage division effected by the divider 41. These pulses may then be combined by predetermined logic arrangements to give any required frequency multiplication of an input signal i which triggers the sawtooth generator. Examples of specific logic arrangements for giving multiplication factors of 2, 3 and 3/2 are given, Figs. 3, 4, 5 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to the measurement and control of thickness in the production of sheet and strip material
Inventor: BRIGGS PETER RICHARD ASHWORTH
IPC: B21B37/60
Filed: 1959-03-24
Abstract: 946,820. Automatic control systems for rolling mills. DAVY & UNITED INSTRUMENTS Ltd. March 22, 1960 [March 24, 1959], No. 10231/59. Heading G3R. [Also in Division G1] The thickness of elongate material issuing from a rolling mill, is controlled by a signal representing the separating force developed between the rolls or dies by the material between them, this signal having been compensated for deviations from strict proportionality between this force and the actual distance by which the working surfaces of the rolls or dies are forced apart. In Fig. 1 metal strip 20 is drawn by a reeling motor 22 between rolls 12 whose setting is adjusted by a screw-down motor 17 and registered on a potentiometer 25. The difference between this potentiometer signal and that from a pre-set control 30 (see also Fig. 2) provides one input to a control unit 27 which adjusts the speed of motor 17 and/or motor 22. The potentiometers 25 and 41 form opposite arms of an A. C. bridge so that the output taken between their sliders represents the difference between the actual and desired thicknesses of the emergent strip; resistor 40 is adjusted to represent the nominal separation of the rolls with no strip between them. The second input to the control unit via line 28 represents the separating force on the rolls and is obtained from strain-gauge bridges 44, 45 whose signals are combined in transformer 48. The third input 37 comprises the compensating signal which is the subject of the invention. A similar 'force' signal is obtained from strain-gauge bridges 50, 51 and fed to an amplifier 53 which drives a servomotor 54 fitted with step-down gearing 55 to operate the slider of a potentiometer 58. Feedback is provided via a potentiometer 56 so that the setting of the slider 58 will represent the existing rolling load. The potentiometer 58 is energized at W5 and is shunted by fixed resistors 61 across the lower part of its range, where compensation is required, but is shorted out above the critical point where strict proportionality between the force and the separation commences. The three inputs to the control unit 27 are added in a summing amplifier 66 which drives a similar servomotor, step-down gearing and feed-back potentiometer so that the setting of the output potentiometer 73 provides the desired control signal. If the bearings of the rolls are hydrodynamically lubricated, the thickness of the oil film will vary with the speed of the rolls. This may be allowed for by feeding the amplifier 66 with the output of a tachogenerator driven by the rolls. Long-term errors in the system, e.g. caused by thermal drift in the circuits, can be compensated by monitoring the thickness of the emergent strip. Specifications 681,373,692,267 and 713,105 are referred to.
