Automatic controller

Claim 2

AN AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER APPARATUS COMPRISING MEANS RECEIVING INPUT SIGNALS VARYING WITH RANDOM AMBIENT CONDITIONS, MEANS MAKING AVAILABLE OUTPUT SIGNALS EFFECTIVE TO OPERATE AN ACTUATING MEANS, AN INTERCONNECTING NETWORK JOINING SAID INPUT SIGNAL RECEIVING MEANS TO A PLURALITY OF SIGNAL STORAGE ELEMENTS AND A PLURALITY OF POWERED DEVICES OPERABLE TO PRODUCE THE OUTPUT SIGNALS IN RESPONSE TO THE INPUT SIGNALS, AND SEPARATE SETTABLE AND POSITIONABLE MEANS OPERABLE TO SELECTIVELY PRESET A CAPACITY FOR EACH OF SAID SIGNAL STORAGE ELEMENTS, DETERMINING THEREBY THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INPUT SIGNALS TO OPERATE THE DEVICES, AND THE DURATION OF THE OUTPUT SIGNALS PRODUCED BY SAID DEVICES, RESPECTIVELY.

Claim 3

AN AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER APPARATUS COMPRISING MEANS RECEIVING INPUT SIGNALS VARYING WITH RANDOM AMBIENT CONDITIONS, MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID INPUT SIGNAL RECEIVING MEANS SENSING SAID CONDITIONS, AND COMPRISING A FIRST MECHANISM RESPONSIVE TO THE VELOCITY OF A FLOWING CURRENT TO PRODUCE A SEQUENCE OF SEPARATE SIGNALS EACH SIGNAL VARYING IN DURATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTANT VARIATIONS OF THE SAID VELOCITY, A SECOND MECHANISM RESPONSIVE TO MEANS SENSING THE DIRECTION OF FLOW IN SAID CURRENT TO PRODUCE A CONTINUING SIGNAL WHEN THE DIRECTION SENSED IS WITHIN A PREDETERMINED RANGE OF DIRECTIONS, AND TO INTERRUPT SAID SIGNAL WHEN THE DIRECTION SENSED IS OUTSIDE SAID RANGE, AND A THIRD MECHANISM RESPONSIVE TO AN INDICATOR IN AN ARRANGEMENT MEASURING THE PRESSURE IN A FACILITY STORING DISPENSABLE MATERIAL, AND HAVING MEANS TO PRODUCE A CONTINUING SIGNAL WHEN THE INDICATOR SHOWS A PRESSURE WITHIN A PREDETERMINED RANGE OF PRESSURES, AND TO INTERRUPT SAID SIGNAL WHEN THE PRESSURE SHOWN IS OUTSIDE OF SAID PREDETERMINED RANGE, A DEVICE TO DISPENSE THE MATERIAL OF SAID STORAGE FACILITY, ACTUATING MEANS FOR OPERATING SAID DEVICE TO DISPENSE, OUTPUT MEANS MAKING AVAILABLE SIGNALS OF VARYING DURATION AND CONNECTED TO OPERATE SAID ACTUATING MEANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DURATION OF EACH OF SAID SIGNALS MADE AVAILABLE, AN INTERCONNECTING NETWORK JOINING SAID INPUT SIGNAL RECEIVING MEANS TO SIGNAL STORAGE ELEMENTS AND POWERED DEVICES OPERABLE TO PRODUCE THE SIGNALS MADE AVAILABLE AT SAID OUTPUT MEANS IN RESPONSE TO THE INPUT SIGNALS.

Claim 4

AN AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER APPARATUS COMPRISING MEANS RECEIVING INPUT SIGNALS VARYING WITH RANDOM AMBIENT CONDITIONS, MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID INPUT SIGNAL RECEIVING MEANS SENSING SAID CONDITIONS, AND COMPRISING A FIRST MECHANISM RESPONSIVE TO THE VELOCITY OF A FLOWING CURRENT TO PRODUCE A SEQUENCE OF SEPARATE SIGNALS EACH SIGNAL VARYING IN DURATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTANT VARIATIONS OF THE SAID VELOCITY, A SECOND MECHANISM RESPONSIVE TO MEANS SENSING THE DIRECTION OF FLOW IN SAID CURRENT TO PRODUCE A CONTINUING SIGNAL WHEN THE DIRECTION SENSED IS WITHIN A PREDETERMINED RANGE OF DIRECTIONS, AND TO INTERRUPT SAID SIGNAL WHEN THE DIRECTION SENSED IS OUTSIDE SAID RANGE, AND A THIRD MECHANISM RESPONSIVE TO AN INDICATOR IN AN ARRANGEMENT MEASURING THE PRESSURE IN A FACILITY STORING DISPENSABLE MATERIAL, AND HAVING MEANS TO PRODUCE A CONTINUING SIGNAL WHEN THE INDICATOR SHOWS A PRESSURE WITHIN A PREDETERMINED RANGE OF PRESSURES, AND TO INTERRUPT SAID SIGNAL WHEN THE PRESSURE SHOWN IS OUTSIDE OF SAID PREDETERMINED RANGE, A DEVICE TO DISPENSE THE MATERIAL OF SAID STORAGE FACILITY, ACTUATING MEANS FOR OPERATING SAID DEVICE TO DISPENSE, OUTPUT MEANS MAKING AVAILABLE SIGNALS OF VARYING DURATION AND CONNECTED TO OPERATE SAID ACTUATING MEANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DURATION OF EACH OF SAID SIGNALS MADE AVAILABLE, AN INTERCONNECTING NETWORK JOINING SAID INPUT SIGNAL RECEIVING MEANS TO SIGNAL STORAGE ELEMENTS AND POWERED DEVICES OPERABLE TO PRODUCE THE SIGNALS MADE AVAILABLE AT SAID OUTPUT MEANS IN RESPONSE TO THE INPUT SIGNALS.
