A Measuring system for comparing the relative magnitudes of a first and a second D.C. input signal by symmetrically integrating the first input signal between time period intervals proportional to its magnitude relative to the magnitude of the second input signal so that pulses are generated at a frequency which is a multiple of the integrating cycle. The variable frequency pulses are either counted directly or are converted to a frequency variable train of voltage pulses, each of the pulse cycles of the train of pulses having the corresponding periodicity of the variable input frequency and each voltage pulse having a substantially constant pulse width; the train of pulses are used to modulate a voltage source output signal which, when subsequently averaged, provides an output signal that is proportional to the product of the modulated output signal of the voltage source and the input frequency.

An optical wattmeter for measuring the magnitude of the instantaneous power being transmitted over a high voltage line utilizes a monochromatic circularly polarized light beam which is transmitted through an electro-optical modulator such as Kerr or Pockels cell subjected to an electric field produced by the high voltage line proportional to the voltage component of the power to be measured. The light beam, doubly refracted in the modulator thereby to produce an elliptically polarized beam, the eccentricity of the ellipse being variable with the line voltage, is passed through a circular quarter-wave plate and then delivered to a Faraday rotator which is subjected to a magnetic field produced by the high voltage line proportional to the current component of the power to be measured. The magnetic field produces a phase shift proportional to the magnetic field between the laevo-rotatory and dextro-rotatory components of the light beam which results in a change of inclination proportional to the magnetic field of the ellipse of the outcoming elliptically polarized beam. The elliptically polarized light beam emerging from the Faraday rotator thus containing data relative to the strength of the electric field as a function of the eccentricity of the ellipse and data relative to the strength of the magnetic field as a function of its inclination is then passed through a polarization type beam splitter such as a Wollaston prism which divides the light beam into two partial beams having different polarization directions, these partial beams then being passed respectively to photo-electric detectors which produce electrical intensities and which are then electrically substrated to produce an output current proportional to the product of the voltage on, and current flow in, the high voltage line at the point at which the instantaneous power level is measured.

An apparatus is provided for storing a voltage corresponding to one dimension, for storing a second voltage corresponding to a second dimension, for comparing two voltages, and for indicating whether the difference between the two voltages is within an acceptable range. Such an apparatus can be used to indicate whether the maximum and the minimum diameters of a round object are close enough in value for the round object to be acceptable for use in applications where perfect roundness is desirable.

An electrical circuit includes a comparator that receives a first signal at a first input pin, where the first signal is indicative of a current drawn from a power supply unit (PSU) that delivers power to an electronic component. The comparator substantially simultaneously receives a second signal at a second input pin, where the second signal is indicative of a voltage provided by the PSU to the electronic component and is set to a predetermined threshold. An output of the comparator changes if a difference exists between the first signal and the second signal. The electrical circuit includes a variable gain amplifier that provides the first signal to the comparator, where a gain of the variable gain amplifier is set according to the predetermined threshold.
