Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
IN A PULSE-TIMING SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING ACCURATELY THE DELAY BETWEEN APPLICATION OF FIRST PERIODIC PULSES AND GENERATION OF ALTERNATE SECOND PERIODIC PULSES, SAID SYSTEM INCLUDING MEANS FOR COUNTING PREDETERMINED INCREMENTS OF DELAY FROM THE TIME OF APPLICATION THERETO OF SAID FIRST PULSES TO THE TIME OF GENERATION OF SUCCESSIVE ONES OF SAID SECOND PULSES, AND AN ADJUSTABLE PHASE SHIFT MEANS FOR INTERPOLATING BETWEEN THE INCREMENTS OF DELAY; SAID COUNTING MEANS RESPONSIVE TO THE APPLICATION OF EACH OF SAID FIRST PULSES FOR SUCCESSIVELY APPLYING DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF ELECTRICAL VOLTAGES AT EQUAL INTERVALS TO ITS OUTPUT IN A PREDETERMINED ORDER, AN ADJUSTABLE ENCODER AND A COINCIDENT DETECTOR, SAID ENCODER BEING ADJUSTABLE FOR APPLYING TO ITS OUTPUT ANY COMBINATION OF VOLTAGES CORRESPONDING TO ANY ONE OF SAID COMBINATIONS OF SAID COUNTER FOR A SELECTED INTERVAL, THE OUTPUTS OF SAID ENCODER AND SAID COUNTER BEING APPLIED TO SAID COINCIDENT DETECTOR, AN OUTPUT CIRCUIT, MEANS NORMALLY DISABLED FOR APPLYING A SIGNAL FROM SAID PHASE SHIFT MEANS TO SAID OUTPUT CIRCUIT, AND SAID COINCIDENT DETECTOR RESPONSIVE TO THE APPLICATION OF SAID CORRESPONDING COMBINATIONS FOR ENABLING SAID LAST MENTIONED MEANS TO APPLY TO SAID OUTPUT CIRCUIT SIGNAL AFTER THE START OF THE SELECTED INTERVAL AT A TIME DEPENDENT UPON THE ADJUSTMENT OF SAID PHASE SHIFT MEANS TO GENERATE EACH OF SAID SECOND PULSES.
