Abstract:
A force-balance transmitter for producing a pressure signal proportional to the enthalpy of air has a flapper associated with a nozzle and employs a control force acting on the flapper in opposition to a feedback force applied to the flapper by the controlled fluid pressure acting over the area of the nozzle, the control force being produced by the combination of forces exerted on the flapper by two resilient beams subjected to individual bending moments responsive to sensed temperature and sensed humidity respectively.
Abstract:
An electronic differential pressure transmitter for use with industrial processes to produce an output signal suitable for transmission to a remote station for operating, indicating, recording or control equipment. The transmitter includes a force bar to which an input force is applied, the resultant bar displacement being sensed by a detector coupled to an electronic circuit yielding a feedback signal proportional to the input force. The feedback signal is fed to a motor whose operating arm applies to the bar a rebalancing force in opposition to the input force. Linkage between the arm of the motor and the upper end of the force bar is effected by a connecting rod which causes the motor arm to rotate about a pivot formed by a cross flexure formed by a stationary platform piece and a wing piece pivoted therefrom by intersecting wires, axial displacement of the wing piece being prevented by a torsion rod disposed in parallel relation to the pivot axis passing through the points of intersection of the wires.
Abstract:
Force measuring apparatus of the type including electromagnetic load compensation means for returning a load-responsive movable member to its initial no-load position relative to a housing. Load compensating pulses of constant amplitude are supplied to a load compensating coil that is connected with the movable member, the length of said pulses being varied as a function of the extent of the displacement of the movable member from its initial position as determined by position sensing means. The invention is characterized by the provision of means for supplying high frequency pulses from an oscillator to a counter only during periods corresponding with the length of said load compensating current pulses.
Abstract:
A motion responsive electrical control apparatus for emitting an electrical control signal incrementally variable in desired correlation to a path of given mechanical motion. The apparatus includes a rotatably regulated electrical controller for emitting signals correlated to the angular position setting of the controller regulator. A cam member pivotally mounted onto the regulator of the controller is arcuately biased into overlying engagement with a movable follower defining a motion path to which the apparatus is to respond. Presettably adjustable pitch members incrementally spaced along the path of follower motion effect desired incremental changes in cam pitch thereat affording corresponding change to the controller position setting.
Abstract:
An electrical current transducer or transmitter having a meter movement with magnet means movable both by input torque directly to its shaft and by feedback current through stationary coils adjacent to the magnet, a vane mounted on the movement controlling radiant energy, and an energy sensitive means to produce a current level proportional to input displacement of the meter movement. The transducer comprises the output means of several electrical transmitters whose input means proportions the measured condition to torque for actuation of the transducer.
Abstract:
A transducer comprising an electrical conductor located in the field of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, whereby, by passing a current through the conductor, force will be caused to act between the conductor and the magnet, the transducer including a further electrical conductor connected in a circuit with the first-mentioned conductor so as to carry a current related to the current through the first-mentioned conductor and such as to tend to nullify the effect of that current to alter the field of the magnet linking the first-mentioned conductor. A transducer element is also claimed.
