Inverter having circuitry for controlling the relative duration of the output alternations

Claim 1

AN OSCILLATING CONTROL NETWORK COMPRISING INDUCTIVE REACTIVE IMPEDANCE (L) AND CAPACTIVE REACTIVE IMPEDANCE (C) CONNECTED IN SERIES CIRCUIT WITH EACH OTHER TO PERMIT THE FLOW OF OSCILLATOR ENERGY BETWEEN SAID REACTIVE IMPEDANCE IN FIRST AND SECOND DIRECTIONS, MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID SERIES CIRCUIT AND CONTROLLED BY THE FLOE OF SAID OSCILLATING ENERGY FOR SYPPLYING PERIODIC PULSES OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO SAID SERIES CIRCUIT TO MAINTAIN OSCILLATION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY THEREIN, AND MEANS SPACED FROM SAID LAST-NAMED MEANS AND INTROUDICNG ASYMMETRIC RESISTANCE INTO SAID SERIES CIRCUIT SO THAT AT LEAST A PORTION OF SAID OSCILLATING ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH SAID RESISTANCE, THE TOTAL VALUE OF RESISTANCE (R) IN SAID OSCILLATING NETWORK BEING SUCH AS TO SATISFY THE RELATIONSHIP R2/4L2<1/LC WHEREBY THE SERIES CIRCUIT WILL OSCILLATE, SAID ASYMMETRIC RESISTANCE INTRODUCING A GREATER VALUE OF RESISTANCE TO CURRENT FLOW IN A FIRST DIRECTION THAN IN A SECOND DIRECTION WHEREBY THE TIME INTERVAL OF THE FLOW OF ENERGY IN ONE OF SAID DIRECTIONS IS CHARGED FROM THAT IN THE OTHER OF SAID DIRECTIONS.
