Abstract: This invention provides a means of providing a continuous signal which corresponds in phase and frequency to a brief instruction signal. The instruction signal is analyzed and the average frequency is determined. The average frequency is used as a basis for synthesis in a direct digital synthesizer or is substituted for the head to tail phase increment in a head to tail repeat synthesizer. The process can be carried out when only a fraction of a cycle is present in the instruction.
Abstract: A device for testing coins or other metallic articles is disclosed whereby the article to be tested is introduced into the field generated by the inductor of an oscillator and the change in amplitude of the oscillations resulting from the interaction of the field generated and the article to be tested is measured.
