Oscillation reducer for emitter followers including clamping means

Claim 1

THE COMBINATION COMPRISING: FIRST CURRENT-VALVE MEANS HAVING AN INPUT TERMINAL AND AN OUTPUT TERMINAL, FOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE ON SAID OUTPUT TERMINAL WHEN RECEIVING AN INPUT VOLTAGE ON SAID INPUT TERMINAL; AND SECOND CURRENT-VALVE MEANS WHICH SATURATES AT A LOWER VALUE OF INPUT VOLTAGE THAN THAT REQUIRED TO SATURATE SAID FIRST CURRENT-VALVE MEANS, HAVING A FIRST ELECTRODE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO SAID INPUT TERMINAL, HAVING A SECOND ELECTRODE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO SAID OUTPUT TERMINAL, AND HAVING A THIRD ELECTRODE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO A REFERENCE POTENTIAL, FOR PROVIDING A LOW RESISTANCE BETWEEN SAID SECOND AND THIRD ELECTRODES WHEN RECEIVING SAID INPUT VOLTAGE ON SAID FIRST ELECTRODE AND FOR PROVIDING A HIGH RESISTANCE BETWEEN SAID SECOND AND THIRD ELECTRODES WHEN RECEIVING NO SUCH SAID INPUT VOLTAGE ON SAID FIRST ELECTRODE; WHEREBY SAID OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS CLAMPED TO A VALUE SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO SAID REFERENCE POTENTIAL ON SAID THIRD ELECTRODE WHEN SAID INPUT VOLTAGE IS APPLIED TO SAID INPUT TERMINAL AND CAUSES SAID FIRST AND SECOND CURRENT-VALVE MEANS TO CONDUCT.
