Patent number: 9857417Abstract: A climate chamber for measuring electronic circuits, having a housing that includes an interior space and an opening. The interior space is at least thermally insulated from the surroundings by the housing. Two movable jaws each have an end face. An interior space in a region of an opening is distanced from the surroundings according to the thickness of the jaws, and the jaws each comprise a thermal insulation layer, and each jaw has a front side facing the surroundings and a back side facing the interior space. The two jaws are spaced apart by a clear width being formed between the two end faces, so that the circuits disposed on a carrier can be introduced into the climate chamber and in a second state, the opening for the protection of the interior space is sealed against ambient conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: TDK-Micronas GmbHInventor: Johannes Gutmann

Patent number: 4796295Abstract: A circuit is disclosed for use in telephone handsets having a line signal node (1), a microphone signal input (20) and an output to an earphone amplifier. There is provided two voltage feedback loops via respective impedance networks (10, 11) and a current feedback loop (5, 7, 14). These feedback loops determine the impedance presented to the line at the signal node with specific voltage/current characteristics and signal frequencies. The first voltage feedback loop in conjunction with the current feedback loop defines the signal frequency impedance and the second voltage feedback loop defines the DC mask presented to the line.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1986Date of Patent: January 3, 1989Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Gay, Johannes A. Gutmann

Patent number: 4571558Abstract: The invention relates to a crystal controllable oscillator circuit. The oscillator includes an amplifier and an oscillation sustaining feed-back loop coupled between an output and an input of the amplifier the loop including two integrators in series for inhibiting oscillation at crystal overtones. Each integrator provides 90.degree. phase shift independently of the oscillators defining RC product which determines only the gain thereby making the oscillator less sensitive to variations in circuit time constants due to temperature and manufacturing tolerance effects. The invention is particularly suitable for incorporating in integrated circuit form where only a single pin connection is required for the controlling crystal.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1984Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael J.

Demodulator system including a tunable discriminator suitable for use in a secam television receiver
Patent number: 4287530Abstract: A demodulating system to be utilized in Secam television receivers for deriving the R-Y and B-Y chrominance information signals from the frequency modulated Secam RF subcarrier frequencies without the necessity for precise and stable tuned circuits. The demodulating system includes a single discriminator having an electronically tunable center frequency, a remodulator, for producing a reference frequency amplitude modulated by the chrominance information signals which are supplied to a commutator as known, and a feedback circuit coupled between the discriminator and remodulator. The discriminator is selectively tuned to a reference center frequency during each picture line clamp period to produce a zero level output signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1980Date of Patent: September 1, 1981Assignee: Motorola Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Gay, Johannes A. Gutmann
