Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
IN A PULSE HEIGHT DISCRIMINATOR FOR SELECTING DESIRED ELECTRICAL PULSES FROM A LARGER GROUP OF RECEIVED ELECTRICAL PULSES ON THE BASIS OF PULSE AMPLITUDE, THE COMBINATION OF A NONLINEAR CIRCUIT HAVING A VARIABLE WIDTH AMPLITUDE ACCEPTANCE INTERVAL FOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT PULSE WHENEVER AN ELECTRICAL PULSE IS RECEIVED HAVING AN AMPLITUDE WITHIN SAID AMPLITUDE INTERVAL, SAID AMPLITUDE INTERVAL HAVING A CENTER AMPLITUDE RANGE WITHIN, SAID OUTPUT PULSES BEING OF ONE POLARITY IF THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RECEIVED PULSE IS WITHIN SAID CENTER AND OF THE OPPOSITE POLARITY WHEN NOT WITHIN SAID CENTER RANGE FEEDBACK CIRCUIT MEANS FOR INTEGRATING AND AMPLIFYING SAID OUTPUT PULSES TO DERIVE A CONTROL SIGNAL, AND MEANS WITHIN SAID NONLINEAR CIRCUIT FOR ADJUSTING THE WIDTH OF SAID AMPLITUDE ACCEPTANCE INTERVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAID CONTROL SIGNAL.
