Pulse source arrangement

Claim 2

A PULSE SOURCE CIRCUIT COMPRISING A D.C. BATTERY POTENTIAL SOURCE AND GROUND, TRANSFORMER MEANS; A SERIES CIRCUIT COMPRISING RESISTOR MEANS, A FIRST WINDING OF SAID TRANSFORMER MEANS AND NORMALLY CONDUCTING SWITCHING MEANS, CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID BATTERY AND GROUND; LOAD IMPEDANCE COUPLED TO A SECONDARY WINDING OF SAID TRANSFORMER, UNIDIRECTIONAL MEANS IN SERIES BETWEEN SAID SECONDARY WINDING AND SAID LOAD IMPEDANCE MEANS, MEANS FOR PERIODICALLY OPERATING SAID SWITCHING MEANS, WHEREBY SAID SWITCHING MEANS IS PERIODICALLY BLOCKED TO PERIODICALLY TRANSFER MAGNETIC ENERGY STORED IN SAID FIRST WINDING TO SAID SECONDARY WINDING FOR PRODUCING OUTPUT PULSES ACROSS SAID SECONDARY WINDING, MEANS FOR OPERATING SAID UNIDIRECTIONAL MEANS TO CONDUCT SAID OUTPUT PULSES THROUGH SAID UNIDIRECTIONAL MEANS TO SAID LOAD IMPEDANCE.

Claim 3

THE PULSE SOURCE CIRCUIT OF CLAIM 1 WHEREIN THE RELATIVE CURRENT DROP IN SAID SECONDARY WINDING DURING SAID TRANSFER PERIOD IS MUCH SMALLER THAN THE RATIO OF OPERATING PULSE LENGTH OVER THE QUANTITY E RAISED TO THE POWER OF THE TIME CONSTANT OF SAID SERIES CIRCUIT MINUS ONE, WHEREBY THE CURRENT SUPPLIED BY SAID PULSE SOURCE CIRCUIT IS INDEPENDENT OF SAID LOAD AND SAID OUTPUT PULSES ARE SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR.

Claim 4

A PLURALITY OF PULSE SOURCE CIRCUITS AS CLAIMED IN CLAIM 6 FOR SELECTIVELY PRODUCING PULSES ACROSS LOADS, CHARACTERIZED IN THIS, THAT SAID CIRCUITS INCLUDE A NUMBER OF THREE-WINDING CROSSPOINT TRANSFORMER WHICH ARE ARRANGED IN A TWO-COORDINATE MATRIX COMPRISING ROWS AND COLUMNS, MEANS FOR ARRANGING THE PRIMARY WINDINGS OF THE TRANSFORMER IN THE SAME COLUMN OF SAID MATRIX CONNECTED IN SERIES AND ASSOCIATED TO ONE OF SAID PULSE SOURCES THROUGH SAID SWITCHING MEANS, MEANS FOR ARRANGING EACH OF THE TERTIARY WINDINGS OF THE TRANSFORMERS ARE ARRANGED IN A SAME ROW OF SAID MATRIX COUPLED TO SAID SECOND SWITCHING MEANS, MEANS FOR CONNECTING THE TERTIARY WINDING OF SAID TRANSFORMERS IN SERIES WITH SAID LOADS, ONE OF SAID SECOND SWITCHING MEANS BEING PROVIDED IN COMMON FOR THE TRANSFORMERS OF EACH OF SAID ROWS, VIA ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL UNIDIRECTIONAL DEVICE, AND MEANS FOR SELECTIVELY SIMULTANEOUSLY BLOCKING THE SAID FIRST AND SECOND SWITCHING MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH A DESIRED ONE OF SAID LOADS.
