Patent number: 4125357Abstract: An electronic control system monitors, in a gas burner, the four functions of (1) initial ignition of the gas, (2) continued combustion of the gas, (3) the average time rate at which the gas is burned, and (4) the maximum temperature of the combustion chamber. A first comparator is responsive to a first thermosensitive element for controlling the average burning rate (or energy output) and the maximum temperature limit; a second comparator is responsive to a second thermosensitive unit for monitoring the flame of the burner, to sense initial and continued ignition; a third comparator functions as a timedelay circuit in association with the second comparator during an initial ignition procedure; and a fourth comparator controls the source of gas in response to the condition of the first and second comparators, so that gas is supplied only when both safe and necessary.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1977Date of Patent: November 14, 1978Assignee: Jenaer Glaswerk Schott & Gen.Inventors: Klaus Kristen, Herwig Scheidler

Patent number: 4061486Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing a transparent optical-glass body having a linear index of refraction gradient. Particles of optical glass which contain leachble ingredients are pressed to form a self-supporting porous optical glass body. Some of the leachable ingredient is leached from a part of the porous glass, and a different amount is leached from a second part of the porous glass, the index of refraction varying in proportion to the different amounts leached from the glass body. The porous optical glass body is heated to eliminate the pores. Various means for effecting the different amounts of leaching over the length of the glass body are shown.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1976Date of Patent: December 6, 1977Assignee: JENAer Glaswerk, Schott & Gen.Inventor: Walter Jahn
