    Abstract: Apparatus and method for voting out a malfunctioning channel in a system of channels carrying electric pulses. The pulses may be produced by particles passing through a sensing zone. The pulses are conducted through comparison and exclusion stages. A device for producing mean size values of the pulses is placed ahead of the comparison stage so that comparison and exclusion are performed on the basis of the mean size values of the pulses. In another embodiment, channels for counting the pulses are provided with count threshold circuits of the counting channels being positioned ahead of the devices for producing the mean size values of the pulses.

    Abstract: 1,254,891. Counting particles. COULTER ELECTRONICS Ltd. 14 Jan., 1969 [15 Jan. 1968], No. 2078/69. Heading G4D. [Also in Division G1N] Analysis of particle.bearing liquid, e.g. by Coulter apparatus, is improved by passing the liquid through parallel channels A, B, C and accumulating pulse counts separately, comparing the counts. so as to discard any count which differs markedly from the others, and averaging the counts which are not discarded. Pulse count accumulators 24, 26, 28 apply potentials increasing with count to comparator amplifiers 80, 90, 100 where each channel is compared with another to give a differential output to threshold devices 84, 94, 104. At the same time the outputs of each pair are added and computed to an allowable standard deviation in parabolic networks 124, 136, 148 which control the threshold devices. Assuming a trouble-free operation the line 64, Fig. 2, shows how voltage increases with time between allowable voltages 208, 210. If, however, one channel is blocked so that its voltage follows the line 66 then the average count voltage follows the line 214. When this voltage crosses the lower limit line 210 then the related threshold device operates. A voting logic network 88 comprises three AND gates, one of which then opens to open the switch 42, 44 or 46 corresponding to the blocked channel so that the averaging network 54 discards the unwanted count. In a modification (Fig. 6, not shown) the allowable deviation is computed from all the channels the counts in which are compared individually with the accumulated average. The threshold devices are therefore individual to the channels. A matrix (231) permits one defective channel to be discarded but if a second channel becomes defective the test is voided.
