Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A DEVICE FOR THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE QUANTITIES OF STREAMS OF MEDIA SUPPLIED THROUGH TWO LINES COMPRISING: A FLOW METER DISPOSED IN EACH OF THE LINES TO SUPPLY TWO OUTPUT SIGNALS HAVING FREQUENCIES PROPORTIONAL TO THE RATE OF FLOW IN THE TWO LINES; TWO SWITCHING RELAYS, ONE OF SAID RELAYS BEING COUPLED TO THE FLOW METER IN ONE LINE, THE OTHER RELAY BEING COUPLED TO THE FLOW METER IN THE SECOND LINE; TWO AUXILIARY CAPACITORS, ONE OF SAID CAPACITORS BEING COUPLED TO A FIRST SOURCE OF DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE AND TO A RESERVOIR CAPACITOR THROUGH THE CONTACTS OF SAID ONE RELAY AND THE OTHER OF SAID CAPACITORS BEING COUPLED TO A SECOND SOURCE OF DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE AND SAID RESERVOIR CAPACITOR THROUGH THE CONTACTS OF SAID OTHER RELAY; MEANS COUPLED TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND SOURCES OF DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE TO CARRY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SAID SOURCES; AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL AUXILIARY CAPACITOR; AN ADDITIONAL SWITCHING RELAY, SAID ADDITIONAL AUXILIARY CAPACITOR BEING COUPLED TO A THIRD SOURCE OF DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE AND SAID RESERVOIR CAPACITOR THROUGH THE CONTACTS OF SAID ADDITIONAL SWITCHING RELAY, SAID ADDITIONAL SWITCHING RELAY BEING COUPLED TO ONE OF THE FLOW METERS; AND MONITORING MEANS DISPOSED TO MONITOR A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MEDIA IN ONE STREAM, SAID MEANS BEING COUPLED TO SAID THIRD DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE SOURCE TO CONTROL THE MAGNITUDE THEREOF.
