  • Patent number: 4181971
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device which can utilize, as an input signal, the solution to mathematical problems from an analog computer or which can be used directly with a process that is governed by a mathematical problem to pictorially depict the solution to the problem. The problem being solved can be dynamically displayed on a device such as a conventional television receiver for use by a student, technician or the like. The input signal indicative of the solution of the mathematical problem is fed to a memory and control device which can store the same for subsequent use. The memory also has stored therein data representative of the images necessary to create the pictorial representation of the problem. A programmable device, preferably in the form of a digital computer, interprets the input signals and directs the data in the memory so that it is properly displayed on the television receiver.

  • Patent number: 4120201
    Abstract: A thermocouple temperature measuring circuit has input terminals connectable to the thermocouple to form the cold junctions of the thermocouple. An input amplifier amplifies the thermocouple signal. A cold junction temperature compensation circuit includes means for sensing the temperature of the cold junctions and for providing an output signal which exhibits a predetermined coefficient between cold junction temperature and output signal magnitude. The output signals of the amplifier and compensation circuit are summed at a summing junction and provided to an output amplifier for supply to a temperature indicating meter. A bias means is also coupled to the summing junction for providing a bias suitable for adjusting the magnitude of the output signal in accordance with the low temperature to be indicated on the meter.
