Title: Electric device responsive to the magnitude of a direct-current signal
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 1958-07-24
Abstract: 877,435. Automatic control systems; phasesensitive circuits. BENDIX CORPORATION. July 24, 1958 [Aug. 28, 1957], No. 23898/58. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XL (c)] An A.C. output signal which reverses in phase in consequence of a D.C. input signal varying from a predetermined value, is applied to a demodulator producing corresponding output polarity reversal to cause operation of a polarized electrical device. The invention is applied to one or both channels of an aircraft automatic pilot in which reversible polarity D.C. signals from a radio range, localizer or glide-path receiver control a servo-operated control surface. Additional D.C. signals of fixed polarity and of a magnitude representative of the strength of the radio signals are obtained from the radio receiver and applied to input terminals 125, 126, Fig. 3, of a magnetic modulator 50 of the type described in Specification 785,087 which produces A.C. signals which reverse in phase when the D.C. input signal exceeds a predetermined minimum reliable value set by a rheostat 67. These A.C. signals, the magnitudes of which correspond to deviations from the minimum reliable value of the input signal, are applied through a transformer 51 and transistor amplifier 52 to a demodulator 53 including diodes 107, 108. The arrangement is such that demodulator 53 produces an output of such a polarity when the input signals are above the predetermined minimum reliable value that a transistor 54 is rendered conductive to energize a relay 35 which then applies radio signals to the control surface servo system (not shown). When the input signals are below the predetermined minimum reliable value relay 35 is de-energized to disable radio control. Stability is ensured by applying negative feed back to transistor amplifier 52 and by suitably biasing the transistors. Specifications 675,751. and 700,592 also are referred to.
