Abstract:
An arrangement for compensating against the magnetic field of the earth in a picture tube in remote-controlled video-display equipment, in which a compensating voltage is generated by a remote-control channel in the video-display equipment. This voltage is applied to a compensation coil in the picture tube. Current through the coil is adjusted in finely-divided incremental steps, and the current is continuously adjustable. The compensation voltage is applied to one end of the compensation coil, whereas the other end of the coil is supplied with substantially half of the operating voltage of the display equipment.
Abstract:
1. Circuitry for automatically switching the control speed of a phase-control circuit.2.1. The switching is, especially in conjunction with different signal sources employed with a television receiver, either difficult or possible only by reserving prescribed program locations. The advantage of the invention is that it becomes possible to switch over without great expenditure to the higher control speed only while necessary and back to the low speed when it no longer needs to be high.2.2. The invention is characterized in that a control circuit 12 increases the control speed, independent of whatever signal source is being employed to produce the picture, only during vertical flyback.2.3. The circuit can be employed in television receivers to reproduce both broadcast television signals and video signals from a recorder connected to the receiver.

A device enables to reproduce without flicker mixed signals from VT and/or BTX decoders during the reproduction of television signals (mixed operation). This is obtained by a video frequency scanning field compensation in the vertical direction effected by a video frequency additional connectable scanning amplifier which supplies a reduced inductivity additional scanning winding.

The present invention provides a device and a method for cylinder sensing in an internal combustion engine. The device according to the invention has a crankshaft sensor device for detecting a crank angle and a predetermined crankshaft position, and outputting corresponding crankshaft signals; an ignition device for igniting the respective cylinder of the internal combustion engine by generating corresponding high-voltage pulses for corresponding control signals, and a control device for receiving the crankshaft signals and outputting the control signals to the ignition device as a function of at least the crankshaft signals, with the control device being so designed that in a cylinder sensing phase, while receiving a crankshaft signal corresponding to a predetermined crankshaft position, it outputs a control signal to generate a high-voltage pulse with a predetermined amplitude that can be reached in at least one specific cylinder; an ignition detection device for determining whether and/or at what ignition voltage the specific cylinder was ignited by the high-voltage pulse and outputting a corresponding ignition detection signal; and a cylinder sensing device for determining whether the specific cylinder is in the predetermined crankshaft position in its power stroke, based on at least the ignition acquisition signal.
Abstract:
A television receiver with a utility line-separated end and a controlled, line-separating, switched external power supply at the utility line end. Horizontal and vertical deflection currents are generated by horizontal and vertical output stages, and each of the two output stages are connected to a driving stage for the purpose of triggering the respective output stage. A modulator supplies a triggering signal to the driving stage and controls line separation. A horizontal frequency control signal and a vertical frequency control signal are generated and applied to horizontal and vertical sawtooth signal generators. The vertical output stage has one input connected to the horizontal sawtooth signal generator, and a second input connected to the vertical sawtooth signal generator through an error amplifier for vertical deflection of the end of the power supply connected to the utility line. The power supply is synchronized with oscillators for horizontal and vertical deflection, and is connected at the utility line-separated end.
Abstract:
An external-power stage suitable for use with television sets, for example. A transformer is provided with control circuits in both the primary side and the secondary side. Each of the control circuits have pulse-width modulators which provide pulses to an electronic switch. The control circuit on the primary side provides pulses to that switch of varying pulse width and of sufficient magnitude to maintain the television set in a standby mode. The control circuit in the secondary side of the transformer, on the other hand, comes into operation when the television set is turned on and provides pulses to the electronic switch while operating with the control circuit in the primary side for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, the control circuit in the secondary side takes over the function of providing pulses to the electronic switch while the control circuit on the primary side is switched to an inoperative stage. The control circuit in the primary side is operative only in the standby mode, whereas the control circuit in the secondary side is operative during the normal mode of operation.
Abstract:
The invention provides a circuit for electronic control of an internal combustion engines including injection valves that can be activated electrically as a function of regulated variables such as crankshaft position, engine speed, exhaust-gas composition and engine torque. The circuit includes an electronic control unit with means to activate the intake valves, exhaust valves, injection valves and ignition device as a function of ignition duration and ignition timing. The control unit also includes a start-up program with which ignition sequences of the engine cylinders, intake valves, injection valves and ignition device can be activated for any desired cylinder position of an engine-start-up process. The circuit further includes a program memory, an engine-standstill detection circuit, and an absolute-value angle transmitter to which the engine-standstill detection circuit is responsive. The absolute-value angle transmitter includes a coding disk that is integrally connected with the crankshaft of the engine, circuitry for generating signals corresponding to the crankshaft position during standstill and during rotational movement, and circuitry for generating electrical signals corresponding to engine temperature, engine load and engine knocking. The signals are fed as regulated variables to the electronic control unit.
