Radiant energy signal transmission system
Abstract
Abstract A NEW AND HIGHLY PRACTICAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM UTILIZING A RADIANT ENERGY SIGNAL UNAFFECTED BY ADVERSE OPERATING CONDITIONS PROVIDES FOR THE OPEARATION OF A WORK FUNCTION AT A WORK STATION LOCATED REMOTELY FROM THE SOURCE OF THE RADIANT SIGNAL. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES THE TRANSMISSION OF A NONCOHERENT LIGHT SIGNAL OF HIGH INTENSITY ALONG A LIGHT TRANSMITTING CONDUIT TO A SENSITIVE PYROTECHNIC OR EXPLOSIVE RELAY DEVICE CAPABLE OF ABSORBING ATTENUATED LIGHT SIGNALS AND EMITTING AN AMPLIFIED LIGHT SIGNAL ALONG ADDITIONAL LENGTHS OF CONDUIT TO THE REMOTELY LOCATED WORK STATION. THE RELAY DEVICE, WHICH MAY BE HERMETCALLY SEALED, BENEFICIALLY INCORPORATES A PYROTECHNIC DELAY MATERIAL FOR ACCURATELY CONTROLLING AND SYNCHRONIZING THE RECEIPT OF THE SIGNAL AT A PLURALITY OF ISOLATED WORK STATIONS.
