    Abstract: In a video disc player, a recorded composite signal, recovered during disc playback, includes a chrominance signal component buried in the midband of the accompanying luminance signal component. The player includes video processing circuits converting the recovered signal to an output composite signal in which the chrominance signal component occupies a higher frequency band, and employing the step of heterodyning the recovered chrominance signal with oscillations at a nominal frequency of fs + fs'' (where fs is the color subcarrier frequency of the output, and fs'' is the buried color subcarrier frequency of the disc signal). To stabilize the output chrominance signal component against spurious frequency variations accompanying disc playback, a phase locked loop (PLL) system is established to cause the fs + fs'' oscillations to track the disc frequency variations. The PLL system employs a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operating at a nominal frequency of fs + fs'', and responding to the output of a phase detector, comparing the synchronizing burst component of the output chrominance signal with the highly stable output of a reference oscillator operating at fs. The recorded synchronizing burst component includes bursts of conventional short duration following each horizontal sync pulse but additionally includes an elongated burst component (of the same subcarrier frequency and phase) occupying a line interval during the ''''backporch'''' portion of the vertical blanking interval. The PLL system phase detector is supplied with both short and elongated burst components through use of appropriate line rate and field rate gating of the output chrominance signal. Presence of elongated burst component in the phase detector input substantially precludes ''''sidelock'''' condition (i.e., PLL system locking to a sideband component of the color synchronizing waveform under turn-on conditions when turntable speed is incorrect, and maintaining such a locked state as speed is corrected).

    Abstract: Circuits are disclosed for processing color encoded video signals, encoded per a format wherein a chrominance signal in the form of a modulated subcarrier is buried in spectrum ''''troughs'''' in the midband of a wider band luminance signal, an illustrative use of the encoding format being in video disc recording. The processing circuits serve, in use with composite signals developed during video disc playback, to convert an input composite signal of buried subcarrier format to an output composite signal of NTSC format. Comb filtering is employed to separate buried subcarrier chrominance signal from midband luminance signal components. A heterodyning step preceding comb filtering is performed in a manner substantially precluding ''''jitter'''' of played back signals from disturbing accuracy of comb filter separating action, enabling use of a single 1H delay line form for the comb filter and enabling use of a relatively inexpensive, narrowband structure for the single delay line. The comb filter output provides a chrominance signal in a band suitable for output composite signal use. The output chrominance signal is also used in a subtractive process to effect comb filtering of the luminance signal to remove therefrom midband chrominance signals.

    Abstract: Electrostatic charges are applied to an electrically insulating film with the aid of a pointed or patterned probe wetted with an electrically conductive liquid. The liquid is non-wetting on the film. A source of voltage (20-100V ac or dc) is applied between the probe and one major surface of the film; and relative motion is applied between the probe and the other major surface of the film so that the liquid comes into only non-wetting contact with selected areas of the film. The liquid adheres only to the probe and moves therewith.

    Abstract: An insulated gate field effect transistor (IGFET) is used selectively to connect a source of radio frequency (e.g., VHF) signal to means for utilizing the radio frequency signal. First and second gate potentials are selectably applied to the IGFET to render its channel conductive and non-conductive, respectively. The first potential is applied from a source impedance appreciably higher than the reactance of the gate-to-channel capacitance of the IGFET for radio frequency signal. This prevents a distributed RC transmission line effect in the IGFET introducing reflections back to the source of radio frequency signals when the IGFET channel is conductive. The second potential is applied from a source impedance appreciably lower than the reactance of the gate-to-source and gate-to-drain capacitances of the IGFET for radio frequency signal, to reduce feedthrough of radio frequency signal when the channel is nonconductive.

The player includes video processing circuits converting the recovered signal to an output composite signal in which the chrominance signal component occupies a higher frequency band, and employing the step of heterodyning the recovered composite signal with oscillations at a nominal frequency of fs + fs'' (where fs is the color subcarrier frequency of the output, and fs'' is the buried color subcarrier frequency of the disc signal). To stabilize the output chrominance signal component against spurious frequency variations accompanying disc playback, a phase locked loop (PLL) system is established to cause the fs + fs'' oscillations to track the disc frequency variations. The PLL system employs a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operating at a nominal frequency of 1/2 fs fs'', and responding to the output of a phase detector, comparing the synchronizing burst component of the output chrominance signal with the highly stable output of a reference oscillator operating at fs. The VCO output is heterodyned with oscillations at 3/2 fs, derived from the reference oscillator, to provide the desired oscillation output varying about fs + fs''. ''''Sidelock'''' under disc playback initiation conditions is avoided by limiting the hold-in range of the VCO. A sweep voltage input to the VCO is supplied under out-of-lock conditions to enable phase lock acquisition. Upon achievement of phase lock, sweep generation is disabled, and sweep voltage sweeps back to mid-range value with normal slope. Sample-and-hold circuitry is employed in error voltage development, to enable PLL system to hold within rapid pull-in range during lengthy signal dropouts.

    Abstract: A line sequential color signal coding format for a limited bandwidth video recording system is disclosed which achieves improved vertical transient response during playback display. Spectrum interleaving is employed between the luminance signal and color difference chrominance signals during encoding, with the necessary signal separation during decoding being effected by comb filtering using delay lines. Prefiltering may be implemented during encoding to comb out crosstalk producing signals from the luminance and chrominance signal spectrums. To avoid contamination of the mixed high frequency luminance components in the decoder by the switched low frequency components, the composite signal may be fed through a high pass luminance filter in the decoder whose cutoff frequency is above that of a low pass filter in the encoder through which the switched, line sequential components are fed.

    Abstract: A starter system fault detector includes means for detecting the initial peak current waveform of a starter motor and related components under test. A reference peak of the waveform is provided by either a fixed reference signal or a dynamic reference signal derived from and related to the maximum magnitude of the initial peak current waveform. In one embodiment the fault detector provides a fault indication if the magnitude of the initial current waveform signal fails to exceed the magnitude of the fixed reference signal during a predetermined time period. In another embodiment the fault detector provides a fault indication if the magnitude of the dynamic reference signal fails to exceed the magnitude of the initial current waveform recovery slope during a predetermined time period.
