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 television system includes means for generating a wave-motion pattern for combination with other components of a display. The pattern is gated with the other components of the display, and means are provided for controlling the shape, position and movement of the pattern relative to the rest of the display.

Information storage apparatus has display information stored on a length of film and displayed by passing light from a source through the film and onto a viewing screen. The film also carries encoded digital information which is read out by modifying the optical system so that light from the source passing through the film is directed onto a plurality of light-sensitive devices.

A microwave-frequency power limiting device comprises a voltagesensitive reactance arranged to form a tuned circuit having a resonant frequency dependent upon the power applied to the device. The tuned circuit is coupled to an input transmission line by a step-up transformer.

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 gyroscope rotor is made so that its axial configuration may be simply adjusted by providing a resilient rim having grooves formed in it. Screws around the rim enable the resilient portion to be compressed so as to alter the configuration.

A cell of a monolithic semiconductor memory store comprises a bi-directional bipolar transistor with a capacitance connected to the collector, for example, a collector-diffusion-isolation transistor, there being associated with the cell, writing means which either charges the capacitance or not when the transistor is capable of conducting in the reverse direction, and reading means which produces an output indicative of whether or not the capacitance is charged.
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.

Information Storage apparatus for use as a back-up store for a moving-map display has the information encoded onto part of the film carrying the map charts. To read the information the optical system is modified so that the information is scanned by a flying-spot scanner.
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.
