Control apparatus

Claim 1

APPARATUS OF THE CLASS DESCRIBED COMPRISING: A PLURALITY OF SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR HYSTERESIS LOOP MAGNETIC CORES EACH HAVING AN INPUT WINDING, A SHIFT WINDING AND A CENTER TAPPED OUTPUT WINDING; MEANS FOR SERIALLY CONNECTING SAID FIRST AND EACH SUCCEEDING ALTERNATE SHIFT WINDING TO A FIRST SOURCE OF PULSES; MEANS FOR SERIALLY CONNECTING SAID SECOND AND EACH SUCCEEDING ALTERNATE SHIFT WINDING TO A SECOND SOURCE OF PULSES; CIRCUIT MEANS CONNECTING THE EXTREMITIES OF THE OUTPUT WINDING OF EACH CORE TO THE INPUT WINDING OF THE NEXT SUCCEEDING CORE, SAID CIRCUIT MEANS INCLUDING DIODE MEANS; MEANS FOR CONNECTING SAID FIRST AND EACH SUCCEEDING ALTERNATE INPUT WINDING, AND SAID SECOND AND EACH SUCCEEDING ALTERNATE INPUT WINDING, IN CIRCUIT WITH SAID FIRST AND SECOND PULSE SOURCES RESPECTIVELY SO AS TO PREVENT A VOLTAGE FROM BEING INDUCED IN SAID INPUT WINDINGS WHEN A PULSE IS APPLIED TO THE RESPECTIVE CORE SHIFT WINDINGS; A PLURALITY OF STORAGE CIRCUITS EACH HAVING AN INPUT AND AN OUTPUT AND COMPRISING IN COMBINATION, FIRST AND SECOND FURTHER MAGNETIC CORES, SAID FIRST FURTHER SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR HYSTERESIS LOOP MAGNETIC CORE HAVING AN INPUT WINDING AND AN OUTPUT WINDING AND SAID SECOND FURTHER MAGNETIC CORE HAVING A CONTROL WINDING AND A GATE WINDING, SAID INPUT WINDING AND SAID GATE WINDINGS BEING WOUND SO THAT A SIGNAL APPLIED TO THESE WINDINGS WILL MAGNETIZE SAID FIRST AND SECOND MAGNETIC CORES IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, MENS SERIALLY CONNECTING THE INPUT WINDING OF SAID FURTHER MAGNETIC CORE AND THE GATE WINDING OF SAID SECOND FURTHER MAGNETIC CORE TO THE INPUT OF SAID STORAGE CIRCUIT, MEANS CONNECTING THE OUTPUT WINDING OF SAID FIRST FURTHER CORE TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID STORAGE CIRCUIT, AND MEANS FOR CONNECTING THE CONTROL WINDING OF SAID SECOND FURTHER CORE TO A SOURCE OF CONTROL PULSES; AND MEANS CONNECTING THE INPUTS OF SAID PLURALITY OF STORAGE CIRCUITS TO THE CENTER TAPS OF THE OUTPUT WINDINGS OF SAID PLURALITY OF MAGNETIC CORES.
