Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
Circuit according to claim 1, wherein the value of the inductance is dimensioned such that the peak voltage thereacross is reached within the first two thirds of the energy supply interval (tL).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
Circuit according to claim 1, wherein the value of the inductance is so dimensioned that the voltage thereacross reaches a maximum in advance of termination of the energy supply interval (tL) to provide, in the additional winding (26) a low voltage responsive only to the maximum voltage across the inductance and which is unvarying and essentially independent of loading on the deflection circuit which may occur during the terminal portion of the energy supply interval.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
91 words
Circuit according to claim 1, further comprising a parallel R-C network (30, 31) connected in the horizontal deflection circuit, said R-C network having a voltage appearing thereacross which, when the potential induced in the inductance (11) exceeds a predetermined level, increases beyond a threshold level; and means (32) transferring this voltage to the controllable rectifier (10) to provide a disabling control voltage to disable the rectifier and interrupt further application of power to the inductance and hence the low-voltage supply and the deflection circuit upon sensing of said increased voltage level.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
97 words
Circuit according to claim 1, wherein the value of inductance is so dimensioned with respect to the energy supply interval (tL) that the rate of change of flux (d phi /dt) in the inductance reaches a maximum in advance of termination of current flow through the inductance to provide an induced voltage in the additional winding (26) which is responsive to peak induced voltage and essentially independent of loading on the deflection circuit caused by changes in current having a lesser rate of change (d phi /dt) occurring during the terminal portion of the energy supply interval.
