Pulse width-pulse rate modulator

Attitude control system designed for rockets regulates duty cycle of pneumatic valves so less fuel is required. Operation time of each valve is directly proportional to error signal and the dead band about a null is controlled by independently adjustable threshold circuits.

Pulse-width-modulated device for precision temperature control

Temperature controller is described which reduces difference between temperature oscillations about control point. Standard temperature-sensitive resistor element is utilized which is highly stable and reproducible. Temperature sensing circuitry is conventional dc bridge with power supplied by battery or highly regulated supply source.

Temperature control system with a pulse width modulated bridge

A temperature control system, which includes a modified wheatstone bridge with a resistive-capacitive (RC) circuit in one leg of the bridge, is disclosed. The RC circuit includes a resistor which provides an effective resistance as a function of its absolute resistance and the on-time to off-time ratio of pulses supplied to a switch connected across it. A sawtooth voltage is produced across the RC circuit. The voltage is compared with the voltage across a temperature sensor with heat being applied during each pulse period portion when the sawtooth voltage exceeds the voltage across the temperature sensor.
