Abstract
892,957. Transistor relay circuits. AMERICAN DISTRICT TELEGRAPH CO. April 21, 1960 [July 21, 1959], No. 13981/60. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XXXVI] In a liquid level detector (see Group XXXVI) comprising a capacitance bridge connected in the feedback path of a transistor amplifier, the bridge circuit comprises inductive ratio arms 14, 15 a reference capacitor 13 and a concentric measuring capacitor 10 immersed in a water tank. The capacitor 10 is connected via blocking capacitors 17, 18. The output diagonal is coupled to the base/emitter electrodes of transistor 20, the output of which is fed back to the ratio arms 14, 15 by winding 22. As the water level approaches electrode 10 the bridge becomes balanced and the feedback changes from degenerative to regenerative, initiating oscillation in transistor 20. The start of oscillation causes diode 19 to conduct, short circuiting the measuring capacitor 10 and increasing the unbalance of the bridge so that the circuit rapidly reaches a state of limiting oscillation. The circuit is therefore described as bi-stable, being either non-oscillating or oscillating with saturation current flowing. When the water level is below electrode 10, coil 23 is de-energized so that a clockwork mechanism 26 is able to generate a coded alarm signal. The system may be tested by closing switch 33, bringing diodes 34, 35 into conduction and connecting capacitor 36 across the reference capacitor 13. This has the same effect as low water level.
