Abstract: An improved radio frequency transformer apparatus for detecting positional changes between a moving and a fixed element is disclosed. The system operates in the high frequency range (on the order of 5 megahertz) and utilizes a centered tapped pickup coil in conjunction with an elongated primary serpentine coil for detecting the null points in a signal which is inductively coupled to the pickup coil as it passes along the elongated serpentine transmitter coil or primary. The use of the null point as the sensing or trigger point simplifies the circuitry required and reduces the cost involved in building the position detecting transformer. The use of the high frequency signals reduces the size and complexity of circuits and circuit elements and enables the entire primary oscillator and detector amplifiers to be embodied in integrated circuit chips for positioning directly on circuit board apparatus. In addition, this design allows a fairly wide variation in spacing tolerance between the transmitter and the detector coils without inducing positional error indications between the moving and fixed elements. This further reduces the cost by lowering the precision required in constructing the device.

Abstract: In apparatus which uses a plurality of stepper motors for the actuation of various moving members therein, e.g., impact printer apparatus, an improvement is provided wherein at least one pair of stepper motors (14, 15) which operate during mutually exclusive periods share common driver means (13) which are switchable to be connected to the active stepper motor and disconnected from the dormant one. When thus connected to the active stepper motor, the driver means operate in the conventional manner to couple the windings of the active stepper motor to the particular current supply associated with that active motor in a predetermined sequence so that each winding of the active motor is energized during portions of the sequence and deenergized during other portions. The apparatus further includes switching means (16) for selectively connecting and disconnecting the drive means to the first and second stepper motors in accordance with the requirements of the apparatus driven by said stepper motors.
