    摘要: Optical and digital potentiometers and controllers. In one embodiment of the invention, a paddle slider is maintained within a housing along with a light source and sensor. The amount of light received by the sensor is a function of the position of the slider and, accordingly, a control signal output may be developed corresponding to the mechanical position of the slider. In other embodiments, light sources are caused to impinge on reflective surfaces which reflect the light through a film onto additional reflective surfaces which direct the light to a sensor. The film may be of varying optical density along the length thereof such that the amount of light received corresponds to the position of the slider, or the film may be digitally encoded such that separate light beams received by the sensor will correspond to a digital position of the slider. In another embodiment, a cylindrical digitally encoded film is rotated between a light source and sensor, thereby varying the output of the sensor. In still another embodiment, a pressure bar is maintained upon a slide and transverses a switch pad which is connected to an electronic decoding circuit. As the slide is moved, the output of the switch pad changes as a digital function of the position of the slide.

    摘要: A contactless conductance potentiometer is provided in which the total conductance between two electric terminals can be selectively divided, the two parts being equal to the total conductance. This can be accomplished by using a ring-shaped photoconductor on a substrate, the ring-shaped photoconductor being divided along a diametral line. One exterior electrode is located on the substrate in a position surrounding one portion of the ring-shaped photoconductor and being in contact with the marginal edge thereof. The remaining part of the ring-shaped photoconductor is in marginal contact with the second exterior electrode. A tapping electrode is mounted inside the ring-shaped photoconductor and is in marginal contact with the inner edge of the ring-shaped photoconductor. The construction is such that when the photoconductor is exposed to light falling on the combined ring-shaped parts, current will flow through the exposed part of the photoconductor between the tapping electrode and one of the two exterior electrodes.

    摘要: A variable control fader with provisions for outputting a fader start signal upon movement of the fader from a position corresponding to the faders maximum attainable resistance value. This fader start signal can be utilized to initiate the activation or deactivation of the operation, or function, of other devices such as, for example, tape recorders, cart machines, or outboard signal processing equipment.

A dwell period may be provided between the times when the first and second light responsive devices receive energizing light.

    摘要: The present invention involves a structure of a contactless ohmic resistance potentiometer. A current path between two exterior electrodes is provided by a photoconductor, and a means is provided for causing an exposure of a portion of the length of the photoconductor between one exterior electrode and a tapping electrode. This permits a voltage division between two exterior electrodes. The usable surface of the photoconductor layer is delimited by an exterior electrode and a tapping electrode having a definite geometric course between the exterior electrodes. The distance ratio from the tapping electrode to the two exterior electrodes is varied by means of displacing the exposure of the photoconductor which causes the active partial surface of the photoconductor to be varied at will.

    摘要: A self-balancing optical position sensitive detector includes a pair of spaced apart, parallel, longitudinally extending doped regions on a first surface on a front side of a substrate 16 of opposite doping type with contact pads on the front side at respective ends of a first doped region of the pair. A voltage source applies a potential difference between the contact pads of the first doped region. On the front side, a contact pad of the second doped region of the pair provides an analog output signal representative of a longitudinal position of a center of gravity of an incident light pattern along the doped regions without external circuitry processing the output signal to obtain a readout of the longitudinal position. A resistive line may directly overly, abut and be in contact with at least a portion of the first doped region. A conductive line may directly overly, abut and be in contact with at least a portion of the second doped region. No backside contact or processing of the substrate is required or employed.
