Abstract
861,717. Pulse discriminating circuits. MINNEAPOLIS-HONEYWELL REGULATOR CO. June 12, 1957 [June 21, 1956], No. 18543/57. Class 40(6) [Also in Group XL(b)] Apparatus, such as a fire or flame detector, for detecting ionizing radiations in the presence of "noise", comprises a Geiger-Muller tube type of sensor arranged in a circuit so as to produce a pulsating signal when exposed to ionizing radiation characteristic of a given condition and connected by two signal paths, one including an integrating network that integrates or delays the signal pulses relatively to the pulses in the other signal path, to an amplifying circuit arranged to respond only when the signals are received simultaneously through the two paths. In a fire detector, a non-self-quench Geiger-Muller tube 10 is connected in a circuit, including a thyratron valve 15, so arranged that the background count of the tube 10 produces only random pulses in the load resistor 32 of the thyratron, whereas radiation due to a fire to which the tube 10 is exposed causes a pulsating signal across the resistor 32. The signal developed across the resistor 32 is applied through a resistor 35 to one control grid 36 of a "gated beam" type valve 16 and also through a delay network 37, 48 to the other control grid 38 of the valve 16. When a pulsating signal, due to a fire, appears across the resistor 32 a signal reaches both grids 36, 38 simultaneously causing the valve 16 to conduct which biases triode 17 to cut-off causing a relay 56 to drop out to operate a fire indicator. Random pulses across the resistor 32 do not operate both grids 36, 38 simultaneously, so that the apparatus discriminates against the background radiation. The apparatus is arranged to "fail safe": In a flame detector, Fig. 2 (not shown), the Geiger- Muller tube and the thyratron valve and circuit are mounted as a unit having a relatively low output impedance so that it may be located at a substantial distance from a separate main amplifying unit.
