An analog switching system having fan-out for switching a plurality of inputs coupled to analog signal sources with respect to a plurality of outputs coupled to analog signal destinations. A three stage switch matrix includes input, middle and output switch blocks with each block having a plurality of analog switch means and latching means. Any one input terminal of a switch block may be connected to any one or more of the output terminals of that block. A matrix controller coupled to each of the switch blocks addresses each switch block and actuates at least one of the latching means to provide a connection assignment for at least one of the analog switching means.

The specification discloses an improved radio frequency-direct current (RF/DC) generating circuit for use with a quadrupole mass analyzer. A free-running oscillator is employed to generate the radio frequency signal, the oscillator having diode means in the feedback circuit for limiting the dynamic range over which the oscillator must operate. The output of the oscillator is connected through a coil to the rods of the quadrupole mass analyzer which, in conjunction with the coil function as a tuned circuit, thereby the magnitude of the radio frequency applied to the rods is obtained by Q multiplication. A detector circuit is connected to the output of the coil for producing a feedback signal which is compared with a ramp voltage for driving the output of the oscillator as a function of the control ramp input. The detector output is also fed back to the input of two similar circuits for generating equal magnitude with opposite polarity direct current potentials which magnitude varies as a function of the output of the detector and thereby under control of the input control ramp. Additional diodes are provided in the detector circuit to enable the detector to operate near zero volts.

AN ANALOG INTEGRATOR IS DISCLOSED IN WHICH MULTIPLE INPUT RESISTORS ARE PROVIDED THERETO. THE GAIN FROM SOME OF THE INPUT RESISTORS TO THE OUTPUT OF THE INTEGRATOR IS HIGHER THAN THE GAIN FROM THE OTHER INPUT RESISTORS. THE LOWER GAIN PRODUCING RESISTORS ARE CONNECTED TO THE INPUT OF THE INTEGRATOR THROUGH A SINGLE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR DIGITAL/ANALOG SWITCHING DEVICE WHILE EACH OF THE HIGHER GAIN PROVIDING INPUT RESISTORS HAVE SEPARATE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR DIGITAL/ANALOG SWITCHING DEVICES CONNECTING THEM TO THE INPUT. LOGIC CIRCUITRY IS PROVIDED TO INTERCONNECT THE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR DIGITAL/ANALOG SWITCHING DEVICES TO OPERATE AS A SINGLE SWITCH SO THAT THE INTEGRATOR MAY BE SWITCHED THEREBY FROM AN OPERATE MODE (RESISTORS CONNECTED) TO A HOLD MODE (RESISTORS DISCONNECTED). DETAILS OF THE DIGITAL/ANALOG SWITCH ARE ALSO DISCLOSED IN WHICH AN INVERTED TRANSISTOR IS EMPLOYED TO CONNECT EACH RESISTOR TO GROUND WHEN IT IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INPUT OF THE INTEGRATOR.

Improved frequency response, lower distortion factors and rapid overload recovery are obtained in a stabilized operational amplifier by eliminating the blocking capacitor at the input to the circuit from the summing junction. This is accomplished by having an insulated gate field effect transistor connected between the summing junction of the amplifier and the first input stage; or, by utilizing insulated gate field effect transistor circuitry as the first amplifier stage.

Plotting of digital data is accomplished by optimizing plotting speed in terms of a curve-fitting technique. Segments of a curve whose x and y end points are specified, are defined in terms of a set of parametric equations represented by third order polynomials with distance as the independent variable. The curvature of these segments is then developed. Optimum plotting speed is then determined considering the requisite degree of curvature and the physical limitations of the plotter such as arm and pen mass and motor torque. This optimum plotting speed determines the rate of generation of the parametric equations in x and y and drives the system through a hybrid servosystem for the independent variable distance. Thus, the plotter is driven to the desired data points with a geometry independent of velocity.

A system is disclosed for injecting solid material into an evacuated chamber without disturbing the pressure therein. Two rods are slidably mounted for extension into the chamber via sealed apertures at opposite ends thereof. A larger diameter rod may extend through the chamber and out the opposite ends. A smaller diameter rod carrying the solid material is interfit within the larger diameter rod. The larger rod is withdrawn as the smaller one is inserted.
