Abstract: 1,259,166. Parametric amplifiers; transistor amplifying circuits. SOLARTRON ELECTRONIC GROUP Ltd. 7 Jan., 1970 [30 Jan., 1969], No. 5245/69. Headings H3B and H3T. A parametric amplifier or other semi-conductor device has associated circuitry to maintain the amplifier at a point of substantially zero gradient on its gain-temperature characteristic, thus stabilizing the gain against ambient temperature changes. Varactor diodes 11 form the amplifier, and receive input and pump signals from sources 12 and 14 respectively. A D.C. bias is applied to the diodes. The diodes are mounted on a common header with a heating element, e.g. a transistor 15, which is turned on and off by a random noise source 16. The resulting thermal cycling, which may have a time constant down to 200 Ás, modulates the output 13 and is detected by a synchronous demodulator 17 which compares the output with the noise signal, suitably delayed. The demodulated output is smoothed at 18 and is used as an error signal to control the D.C. bias 19. Thus, if the amplifier drifts from its operating point, the diode bias and hence the gain is controlled to reduce the error signal to zero and return the amplifier to its operating point. Alternatively, the amplifier may comprise two sets of diodes connected as a bridge, the bridge balance and hence gain being controlled by the error signal. The random noise source may be replaced by a pseudo random source, an F.M. source, or a source whose frequency is remote from the amplifier's operational frequencies. The circuitry may also be used to control the operating point of an FET or a long-tailed pair, the error signal being respectively applied to the gate or to a further transistor forming the collector load of one of the long-tailed pair.

Abstract: 1,264,639. Fuel elements. BABCOCK & WILCOX CO. 7 Nov., 1969 [7 Nov., 1968], No. 54580/69. Heading G6C. A fuel element spacer grid 10 which serves to support a plurality of fuel rods in spaced parallel relationship is composed of a plurality of elongated members 14 arranged in a lattice. Each member 14 has a plurality of small slots 18 (i.e. slots 18A 1 , 18A 2  . . . 18A N , 18B 1 , 18B 2  . . . 18B N ) formed opposite one another in each of the edges 16. In addition paddle-shaped cutouts 22 are provided between each pair of opposite slots 18A, 18B, each cutout 22 including a narrow slit 24 which extends from a slot 18B and a rectangular opening 26. Each panel 20, i.e. the portion of a member 14 bounded by centrelines 19 drawn through pairs of opposite slots 18A, 18B, is provided with three indentations 28, two of which (28A, 28B) are formed in opposing edges 16 and to one side of the panel, and the other of which (28C) is formed mid-way between those at the edges and to the other side of the panel. After the members 14 have been interlocked to form the grid 10, a bead of weld metal is deposited in the recesses formed by adjacent slots 18A, 18B. There are six indentations 28 projecting inwardly of each grid cell, two panels of a given cell each providing a single inwardly extending projection 28C and the other two panels each providing two inwardly extending projections 28A, 28B. Since the central portion of each panel 20 is resiliently movable with respect to its edges, the indention 28C of a panel normally jams a fuel rod against the indentations 28A, 28B of an opposite panel. Means for deflecting an indentation 28C to allow for insertion or removal of a fuel rod comprises a rigid shaft 40 having a portion 42 offset to act as a cam for moving the centre of a panel 20. In order to move a fuel rod within a particular cell, two shafts 40 are inserted at right angles into the grid 10 through passages formed by the openings 26 with their offset portions 42 in planes parallel to the adjacent members 14. The shafts 40 are then turned through 90 degrees and thereby flex outwardly the panels 20 having inwardly extending indentations 28C, as shown in Fig. 12. In an alternative construction (not shown), the grid is formed from cells of triangular shape, one panel being resilient and jamming the fuel rod against the other panels.
