摘要:
A circuit for driving a relay having at least two contacts and an excitation coil. An AC power source is connected to the contacts of the relay for applying a voltage of a prescribed frequency to these contacts. A detector section compares a pulse current, induced in phase with the AC current supplied from the AC power source, with a reference value, thereby producing a detection signal. In accordance with this detection signal, the positive and negative phases of a signal having a cycle longer than, and being asychronous with, said AC current, are delayed alternately or at random, thereby generating a timing control signal. This timing control signal closes and opens said relay at random timings, thereby protecting the relay from contact welding.

A monitor for an electrically-controlled system is provided. A threshold detector senses the voltage variations in the system by means of an optocoupler. The system is disabled by a relay if a voltage level does not meet a predetermined parameter.

An electric circuit for energizing a fire-suppressing foam generator includes a switch that is opened and closed by means operated by electric control circuits, one of which contains a pair of laterally spaced lower electric probe contacts mounted in the protected area and adapted to be bridged by a rising level of foam to close that circuit. The other control circuit contains a pair of laterally spaced upper electric probe contacts above the level of the lower contacts and adapted to be bridged by a rising level of foam to close the last-mentioned control circuit.

The apparatus comprises an electronic system including an antenna positioned about the equipment to be protected and coupled to a resistor-capacitor bridge, to which is coupled an oscillator. The output of the bridge is coupled through a differential amplifier to a demodulator, and the output of the oscillator is also coupled directly to the demodulator, The demodulator output is coupled through an amplifying system both to a display device, which is used to indicate the state of balance of the system, and to a control circuit for generating a signal which is coupled to the equipment to be protected to turn it off or to otherwise exert a protective control action when a certain level of unbalance in the bridge occurs.
摘要:
An automatic water supply control system for a toilet facility, wash basin or the like which features a capacity-sensitive antenna positioned to sense the approach of a user and cause a valve actuator signal to be produced, coupled with a circuit for compensating for slow changes in antenna capacity caused by changes in ambient conditions, such as humidity. The system includes timing and delay circuitry which permit the system to allow for minor movements of the user adjacent to the facility and to shut off after a predetermined period of operation.
