Abstract: A system for transferring electric power is provided. A power supply conductor conducts a power supply current that generates a first resultant magnetic field. An electric motor has a power input terminal connected to the power supply conductor and a movable output component. A generator has a movable input component connected to the movable output component such that the movable output component causes movement of the movable input component. The generator converts the movement of the movable input component into a power output current to the power output terminal that generates a second resultant magnetic field. A plurality of field line guides are positioned for field lines of the second resultant magnetic field to couple to the plurality of field line guides and are formed to guide the field lines into a helical shape.

Abstract: Method for evaluating the quality of audio and/or video transfer characteristics of a device upon which, or through which, audio and/or video information is contained, or passes, respectively. The method concerns the evaluation of the quality of information transfer in the recording and playback of a recording medium or in the transferring of audio and/or video information through an information handling device referred to as a throughput device. Unit evaluation includes establishing an input signal of known content, measuring selected parameters of selected parts of the input signal, feeding the input signal to the unit under test, measuring the parameters of parts of the output signal from the unit corresponding to the same selected parts of the input signal, and comparing the selected parameters of the input signal with the corresponding parameters of the output signal.

Abstract: A field installable capacitor network assembly screws onto an externally threaded coaxial connector and makes contact with signal ground. The network assembly also makes a reliable low impedance contact with the chassis wall as it screws toward the coaxial connection, using protrusions extending from rear face of the network assembly to cut through any insulating coat covering of the chassis wall and make contact with the wall. A small capacitor inside a defined region of an annular body of insulating material secured between two sleeve shaped conductors respectively in contact with the connector and the chassis wall makes an electrical connection between these surfaces.

Abstract: A series of separate analog electrical signals are received at a real time rate and converted to digital equivalents. The converted signals are stored in a digital memory from which the signals are released serially at a rate slower than the real time rate at which the signals are received. The signals released from storage are directed to a signal analyzer, preferably after being converted from digital to analog format, for processing to determine prescribed parameters of the original analog electrical signals.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for evaluating the quality of audio and/or video transfer characteristics of a device upon which, or through which, audio and/or video information is contained, or passes, respectively. Both method and apparatus concern the evaluation of the quality of information transfer in the recording and playing back of a recording medium or in the transferring of audio and/or video information through an information handling device referred to as a throughput device. Unit evaluation is accomplished by establishing an input signal of known content, measuring selected parameters of selected parts of the input signal, feeding the input signal to the unit under test, measuring the parameters of parts of the output signal from the unit under test corresponding to the same selected parts of the input signal, and comparing the selected parameters of the input signal with the corresponding parameters of the output signal.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for evaluating the audio characteristics of an audio-video program recorded on a storage member in which the video portion of the program contains picture frame code numbers. A predetermined picture frame number at which video evaluation of the audio portion of the program is to commence in initially established. The audio and video portions of the recorded audio-video program are recovered, and the picture frame code numbers are extracted from the video portion thereof. The extracted picture frame numbers from the recovered video portion are then compared with the predetermined picture frame number, and audio evaluation of the audio portion of the program commences upon coincidence of the detected picture frame number and the predetermined picture number. Evaluation is effected by measuring predetermined picture number.
