Patent number: 4947153Abstract: The upwardly extending outlet of a pump contains a non-floating permanent magnet which tends to assume a lower end position but is propelled upwardly in response to admission of a metered quantity of liquid into the outlet to initiate the emission of a signal by a sensor. The emission of such signal persists as long as the actuator remains above its lower end position. The sensor is connected with the resetting input of a counter by way of an OR circuit. The n-th output of the counter transmits a signal to an alarm signal generating circuit in response to transmission of a certain number of consective timing pulses to its counting input prior to transmission of a signal to the resetting input. The timing pulses are transmitted by a generator which also transmits pulses to the pump to thus determine the frequency of admission of liquid into the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1989Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: ProMinent Dosiertechnik GmbHInventor: Hermann Berger

Patent number: 4567559Abstract: An apparatus for regulating a parameter by admission of an additive into a medium comprises a control pulse generator which is dependent on the extent of deviation from the norm, and a regulating element which effects the admission of additive during the interval of generation of a control signal. The control signal generator comprises a first timing pulse generator with a constant frequency and a first counter which receives the first timing pulses from the first timing pulse generator and transmits a first counter overflow signal after receiving a predetermined number of first timing pulses. The control signal generator further comprises a second timing pulse generator whose frequency increases with decreasing deviation form the norm and which transmits second timing pulses to a second counter which transmits a second counter overflow signal after receiving a predetermined number of second timing pulses.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1983Date of Patent: January 28, 1986Assignee: Chemie und Filter GmbH Verfahrenstechnik KGInventors: Hermann Berger, Franz Ernst

Patent number: 4498019Abstract: A switching circuit with a time-delay device comprises a pulse generator, and a counter which receives pulses therefrom. The overflow output of the counter transmits a counter signal after receiving a predetermined number of pulses. The counter is provided with a holding circuit for maintaining the counter signal up to the time of resetting and renewed start of the counting operation. The resetting input of the counter receives a signal either by way of an inverter or directly. The overflow output of the counter is connected with the output of the time delay device, either directly to obtain a delayed start or by way of an inverter to obtain a delayed termination.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1983Date of Patent: February 5, 1985Assignee: Chemie Und Filter GmbH, Verfahrenstechnik KGInventor: Hermann Berger

Patent number: 4287478Abstract: A symmetrical amplifier comprising two transistors having their emitters connected to ground via two resistors of equal value. An input signal is applied between the bases of the transistors and an output signal is available at the collectors of the transistors. This amplifier will provide improved linearity up to an input voltage of 200 mV if, for the emitter resistor, the relationship R.apprxeq.0.56 U.sub.T /I.sub.CO is satisfied, U.sub.T being the thermal voltage and I.sub.CO the collector quiescent current. The value of this resistor is very small so that the slope is reduced only slightly by the emitter resistors and the sensitivity of the circuit is hardly affected thereby.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1979Date of Patent: September 1, 1981Assignee: U.S. Philips Corp.Inventor: Hermann Berger

Patent number: 4247825Abstract: A transistor amplifier comprising two transistor pairs, connected in parallel at their bases and collectors and with interconnected emitter electrodes of one transistor pair receiving an essentially constant direct current and the interconnected emitter electrodes of the other transistor pair an essentially constant direct voltage. The amplifier extends the upper range of input voltages at which the difference of the collector currents of these transistor pairs varies as a linear function of the voltage between the bases. As a result, larger input voltages can now be amplified with low distortion.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1979Date of Patent: January 27, 1981Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Hermann Berger

Patent number: 4193035Abstract: The invention relates to an AM-receiver for receiving one of the sidebands of a double sideband signal, for example, in medium wave or short wave broadcast. Selective fading is avoided by the reception of one sideband only. The circuit can substantially be implemented from input to output in integrated circuit technology. It enables the high-grade reception of the double sideband AM-signals without crosstalk or squal.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1977Date of Patent: March 11, 1980Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Hermann Berger
