  • Patent number: 9857417
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9780470
    Abstract: A contact device system having a plate-shaped carrier and at least five accommodating areas are disposed on a bottom side of the pressing unit, at least five accommodating areas and at least five contact area pairs are disposed on a top side of the carrier. The contact area pairs each have a first and second electrically conductive contact area, and in each case the first contact area is spaced apart from the second contact area and insulated electrically therefrom. The first and second contact areas have a functional electrical connection to an evaluation circuit via a trace section. The carrier has a plurality of accommodating areas for a packaged electronic component, that each have one of the at least five contact area pairs. The electronic components have at least two terminal contacts, whereby after accommodation of the packaged electronic components, the terminal contacts of the particular component are pressed down.

  • Patent number: 4796295
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 4571558
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 4287530
    Abstract: 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.
