Modified circuit uses diodes to effectively disconnect the charging resistors from the circuit during the discharge cycle. Result is an efficient parallel charging, high voltage pulse modulator with low voltage rating of components.
Construction of a capacitor sensor consisting of a dielectric layer between two conductive surface layers and connected across a potential source through a sensing resistor permits measurement of energy of impinging particles without degradation of sensitivity. A measurable response is produced without penetration of the dielectric layer.

Proportional control circuit supplies a heater with full current, from a pulsating dc source, to a present temperature and then switches to proportional control for fine temperature regulation. Two resistors and a diode are added to the existing circuit. The circuit can be adapted to control other functions.

This paper describes a device for timing sequentially 8 film exposures of a rocket-borne camera with a time interval between each exposure to allow the camera film transport mechanism to step the film from one frame to the next after each exposure. Each exposure time can be independently adjusted from a a fraction of a second to several hundred seconds by changing the value of a timing resistor and/or capacitor. All of the rocket interface circuits have ben designed to minimize the coupling of spurious noise signals into the timer.
