摘要： An improved system is provided for accurately referencing the revolving motion of electric motors used as positioning devices, and is particularly applicable to the automatic positioning and repositioning of ground station antennas in the reception of satellite TV signals.The system utilizes the action of the positioning motor itself as a reference and involves the extraction and counting of variations in the form of pulses produced in the current within the motor as a result of pulses generated, during motor operation, by the commutation process. A low impedance source senses the motor current pulses and feeds them to an active lowpass filter which suppresses any high frequency noise produced during motor commutation. Peak following circuitry, including separate positive and negative peak detectors, detects and follows the positive and negative peaks of the motor current pulses and produces a pulsating output waveform which is proportional to the number of motor current pulses detected by the peak detectors. The output pulses can be counted to provide an accurate referencing of the motor revolving motion with improved resolution and reduced susceptibility to measurement errors.

摘要： An electronic gaining system moderates payout rates by the processor randomly providing a first random outcome which determines whether the wager is initially resolved by the processor as a winning outcome, tie outcome or losing outcome. The processor recognizes specific ones of, but less than all of the tie outcomes and/or the losing outcomes as belonging to a provisional subset of the outcomes and/or losing outcomes. The processor recognizes a random outcome as within the provisional subset, the processor randomly selecting from among multiple additional outcomes stored in memory for at least individual ones of random outcomes within the provisional subset, and randomly selecting a final random outcome for the at least individual one of the random outcomes within the provisional subset from a second set of random outcomes that includes at least one winning outcome, and resolving the wager on the basis of the final random outcome.

摘要： A digitally temperature compensated oscillator (TCO) system is provided which is capable of ascertaining and memorizing in an EEPROM-based look-up table, appropriate digital values of a temperature-compensating tuning voltage to the TCO during calibration. An on-board temperature sensing mechanism tracks variations in temperature in the TCO and produces an analog voltage value corresponding to the instantaneous temperature. The voltage value of the sensor output is digitized and designated to constitute an address into the EEPROM based look-up table. As the temperature changes, the digitized output of the temperature sensor and hence the address to the EEPROM changes accordingly. The TCO tuning voltage value corresponding to the address represented by the measured temperature is extracted from the values stored within the EEPROM table and then converted into a corresponding analog voltage which is used to drive the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) in order to maintain the output frequency of the TCO stabilized at a desired value.The EEPROM contained within the TCO is preferably calibrated during production, under the control of a calibration and test circuit which regulates the calibration and testing of a TCO in a chamber whose temperature is ramped over a desired temperature range. The TCO includes an on-board microprocessor which allows integration of several of the TCO functions, including the analog-to-digital and the storage and retrieval of data to and from the EEPROM containing the look-up table and extremely simplifies the calibration and test procedure.
