    摘要: An electroluminescent device with a P-N junction capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation and with a negative resistance characteristic is formed in a III-V compound semiconductor such as gallium phosphide or gallium arseno-phosphide, the device including across its current path a current impeding portion with a small concentration of less than 5 X 1015 free charge carriers per cm.3, the arrangement being such that the current impeding action of the portion is reduced to a greater extent by radiation emitted by the P-N junction than by minority charge carrier interaction between the portion and the P-N junction.

    摘要: A data processing apparatus is provided for weighting input information signals of varying magnitude each in accordance with a generated function representable by a stepped waveform and stored in a ROM. Each weighted instantaneous magnitude comprises an output of the apparatus. The magnitude of the information is represented by a train of uniformly spaced pulses and the stepped waveform has unit changes in value at, at least, some of the unit time intervals corresponding to the uniformly spaced pulses. A memory is addressed by the train of uniform pulses and output pulses are obtained for each such train corresponding a unit change in value of the stepped waveform of the generated.

    摘要: A digital display generator for producing a simulated coastline display for a radial-scan radar comprises two stores, a computer and a logic unit. One of the stores contains the cartesian coordinates of a plurality of spaced points along the simulated coastline, whilst the other store contains the individual elements forming the display between the spaced points. The computer operates to transform the co-ordinates of each spaced point from a fixed datum to a variable datum, whilst the logic unit determines, for each stroke of the radial scan, the point of intersection between the scan stroke and the coastline element nearest to the variable datum.

    摘要: Projection apparatus such as for a moving-map display, has storage means for a length of film and means for moving the film along its length through a projection field. The storage and transport means are mounted on a carriage arranged to move in a transverse direction along at least one guide member. Movement is effected by a motor carried on the carriage and having a capstan drum which engages a taut cable attached to the apparatus parallel to the guide member.
