摘要:
An amplifier means directly receives an input waveform, and this input waveform is also coupled to a pair of storage means for storing peak values thereof. An adjustable means selects a voltage from a range between such peak values and operates a control circuit means for causing the amplifier means to produce a triggering signal when the input waveform reaches a selected value.

An automatic equalizer for use in digital data modems employs decision directed feedback to cancel the intersymbol interference caused by symbols which have already been decoded. In an equalizer using a minimum mean-square-error algorithm the channel impulse response of each decoded symbol is subtracted from the delay line to effectively eliminate the effects thereof. Two schemes for impulse response identification are disclosed.

The sequential automatic gain control circuit is an improved AGC circuit that can be used in search and track radars which receive a series of pulse returns from each target. The sequential AGC is well suited for monopulse radars and moving target indication (MTI) processing where gain stability and gain match between channels are required. The maximum input signal levels are sensed by a pair of AGC circuits which alternately provide output levels for a predetermined time. The output signal levels are proportional to the maximum input signal received during the previous pulse return period.

A deskewing buffer system includes a plurality of storage registers each of which include a plurality of storage devices. Pairs of the storage devices provide storage for a single information channel. The devices of each channel further includes circuits for detecting when no information has been stored by an input pair of storage devices of a channel within a bit interval which signals a dropped bit within the channel. The detection circuits are then operative to switch both input storage devices of the channel to the same predetermined state. Thereafter, checking circuits coupled to a last register of the buffer system are operative to check the deskewed contents of the register and generate a signal indicating whether the channel dropped a binary ONE or binary ZERO bit. The signal is then used to transfer selectively the state of one of the pairs of storage devices of the channel to an output register.

摘要:
Two one-shot circuits are triggered by an input data pulse to be interrogated. At the leading edge of the input pulse, one of the two one-shot circuits generates a pulse of the specified width minus the specified tolerance. The other one-shot circuit generates a pulse width equal to the specified tolerance at the trailing edge of the interrogated pulse. The output of the first one-shot circuit triggers a third one-shot circuit which in turn generates a pulse of a width equal to twice the specified tolerance. The outputs of the second and third one-shot circuits are combined in a NAND gate which generates the detection pulse to indicate that the interrogated pulse is within the specified tolerance. The detection pulse is generated as soon as the trailing edge of the interrogated pulse is received. Thus, two input data pulses can be placed as close together as possible as long as the individual pulse identity is maintained, making it possible to maximize the date rate. A multiplicty of detector circuits may be connected in a parallel manner, each generating a detection pulse upon the reception of a pulse specified length, thus permitting the decoding of an entire pulse-width-coded message.

An improved system is provided for sensing spindle deflection of a milling machine and developing a feedrate control signal in accordance therewith to achieve optimum tool life consistant with high metal removal rate from a workpiece. A plurality of magnetic transducers are disposed adjacent the spindle or spindles of a milling machine, and each magnetic transducer is excited by an audio frequency signal such that, as deflection of a spindle brings the spindle closer to or moves it further from a transducer, a corresponding change in the impedance characteristics of the transducer is utilized to develop an a-c signal of a given amplitude. Signals developed from opposing transducers are fed to a differential amplifier to derive a difference signal which is demodulated by a phase detector, rectified and filtered, and then passed through a squaring circuit in order that signals corresponding to the square of the deflection sensed by each transducer pair may be mixed to provide a d-c voltage representing the sum of the squares representing the deflection components. The square root of the sum of the squares is then taken to give a feedback signal proportional to the vector sum of spindle deflection for utilization as a feedrate correction signal. For milling machines utilizing multiple spindles simultaneously, a peak detector circuit is utilized to select the largest sum of the squares only for subsequent development of the feedrate correction signal. Changes in the resistance of the magnetic transducers due to temperature variations encountered under normal operating conditions are compensated by placing the coil of each magnetic transducer in a series circuit which includes a field effect transistor biased to perform as a variable resistor responsive to a change in current flow through the coil by presenting an apparent resistance which opposes the change in current. Runout, which introduces an invalid deflection signal component by modulating the audio frequency reference signal according to the rate of spindle rotation, is compensated by observing the signal produced by runout from each tool holder, tool combination prior to machining, and then providing a continuous equal and opposite signal thereby leaving only the component due to actual spindle deflection. This signal also compensates for component drift. This function is carried out by a loop including a d-c amplifier which drives an A-D converter which, in turn drives a D-A converter which has its output coupled back to the input of the d-c amplifier. When activated, the calibrate circuit introduces trial signal levels until the output of the d-c amplifier is zero, thus negating the effect of runout.
