  • Constant energy strobe source
    Patent number: 4005337
    Abstract: In a strobe lamp system, a circuit for monitoring the amount of energy supplied to a capacitor storage bank from a power supply senses the magnitude of the current flowing to the capacitor storage bank and produces an integral function indicating the charge stored on the capacitor bank. This integral function and the voltage across the capacitor bank are monitored by a comparator. When a selected amount of energy has been stored, a switching circuit is activated by the comparator to disconnect the capacitor storage bank from the power supply.
