Claim 1
Independent Claim
209 words
A fluid signal processing system including a variable condition to be detected, comprising a sensing means for establishing a fluid signal proportional to said variable condition, a fluid repeater including an input chamber means connected to said sensing means and an output chamber means separated by a common movable wall and an exhaust orifice means terminating in the output chamber means in opposed relation to said common movable wall, an output and supply passageway means connected to said output chamber means to establish a pressure in said output passageway means in accordance with the position of the wall relative to the orifice means, a low limit exhaust passageway means connected to said exhaust orifice means, and a low limit pressure restrictor in said low limit exhaust passageway means to control the flow in said exhaust passageway means and thereby adjust the low limit on the output pressure in said output passageway means, a high limit exhaust passageway connected to said output passageway means controled by a high limit restrictor controlling flow therein to adjust the high limit on the pressure in said output passageway means, and a controller means connected to said output and supply passageway means and establishing a corresponding proportional output between said high and low limits.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
209 words
A fluid signal processing system including a variable condition to be detected, comprising a sensing means for establishing a fluid signal proportional to said variable condition, a fluid repeater including an input chamber means connected to said sensing means and an output chamber means separated by a common movable wall and an exhaust orifice means terminating in the output chamber means in opposed relation to said common movable wall, an output and supply passageway means connected to said output chamber means to establish a pressure in said output passageway means in accordance with the position of the wall relative to the orifice means, a low limit exhaust passageway means connected to said exhaust orifice means, and a low limit pressure restrictor in said low limit exhaust passageway means to control the flow in said exhaust passageway means and thereby adjust the low limit on the output pressure in said output passageway means, a high limit exhaust passageway connected to said output passageway means controled by a high limit restrictor controlling flow therein to adjust the high limit on the pressure in said output passageway means, and a controller means connected to said output and supply passageway means and establishing a corresponding proportional output between said high and low limits.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
The fluid signal processing system of claim 1 having a control means connected to control siad variable condition, and a second fluid repeater corresponding to said first fluid repeater, said second fluid repeater having an input chamber means connected to said controller means and an output and supply passageway means connected to said control means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
129 words
The fluid signal processing system of claim 1 having a control means connected to control and maintain said variable condition at a selected position, a master set point variable control for adjusting the preset position of said variable condition to be maintained, in accordance with a second variable condition, a second sensing means for establishing a fluid signal proportional to said variable condition, a second fluid repeater corresponding to said first fluid repeater and having an input chamber connected to said controller means and an output and supply passageway means connected to the control means, and a third fluid repeater corresponding to said first fluid repeater and having an input chamber connected to said second sensing means and an output and supply passageway means connected to said controller means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The fluid signal processing system of claim 3 wherein said controller means is a non-fluid controller, and having a plurality of transducers connected one each between each fluid repeater and the controller means.
