Reactor for cancelling the reactances of a circuit by adding to it a conjugate reactance, involving at least one trolley that can be moved along a microstrip and supporting a probe whose penetration can be adjusted by a screw. One of the ends of the microstrip is terminated by a plug specially adapted to receive a transistor electrode.
Abstract:
Pulse discriminator device comprising a blocking circuit with a time constant, detecting the appearance of a given polarity, memorizing, during a certain period, the said polarity, and enabling, during that period, the detection of an opposite polarity, a detection and control circuit detecting this opposite polarity and acting on a control circuit which signals, at the output, the detection of this opposite polarity and a maintenance circuit dependent on the control circuit and enabling the first polarity to be kept in the memory while the opposite polarity is being received.
Abstract:
The device enables a transistor to be removed from a circuit without its connections having to be unsoldered or soldered again, and comprises a middle part bearing the transistor, one of whose electrodes is connected to the ground of the middle part and two lateral flanges fitted with plug sockets for receiving the other two electrodes of the transistor. The middle part and the two flanges can be installed together by means of screws. The two flanges can also be installed without the middle, allowing the invention to be used for making measurements on power amplifiers at frequencies greater than 1 Gc/s.

Abstract:
For energizing an inductive load with a maximum current of brief duration followed by a steady current, less than the maximum, the inductive load is initially connected, by means of an amplifier switch, across a voltage source of relatively high-output voltage and subsequently connected, by means of another amplifier switch, across a voltage source of relatively low-output voltage. Trigger circuitry is operable to apply an input pulse of predetermined duration to the amplifier switch associated with the voltage source of high-output voltage and simultaneously trigger a delay circuit arranged to apply an input voltage to the amplifier switch associated with the source of low voltage. Respective diodes connect a common point the outputs of the respective amplifier switches, the common point and a point at a reference potential provide respective first and second connections to the inductive load.
Abstract:
The information contained in the memory passes through an assembly of windows corresponding to various positionings, and a counter associated with each window counts the sequences of identical valences seen through each window. The result is the validation of the direction which enables the validation of the contents of a division receiving an interference signal, seen through a correction window parallel to the validated direction.

The device comprises, on the one hand, a bistable device transistors which forms a bistable flip-flop, and, on the other hand, a device consisting of a capacitor and high time-constant transistors, the latter device comprising a field-effect transistor capable of introducing itself, on a first order, into one of the bridges of the bistable device to destroy the latter''s symmetry, the bistable state thus created being liable to come to an end before exhaustion of the time-constant on a second order transmitted to the bistable device.
Abstract:
A cliche bearing a fingerprint is scanned by a flying spot moving along a network of successive horizontal lines by an industrial television camera. The display signal obtained, corresponding to a section cut off along 15 successive lines, is stored in the form of a logical signal in a data processing storage unit in which a certain number of data processing operations enable the identification, firstly of the end points of a fingerprint line, to determine which of these points are the most characteristic and to calculate the tangent to the fingerprint line at these points.
