Abstract:
A chrominance saturation control circuit to permit indirect or DC mode control of chrominance saturation. The connection between the chrominance saturation control knob in a television receiver and the chrominance saturation control circuit can be achieved through wiring which transmits only DC voltage. With this DC controlled chrominance saturation control, the television set may be made less susceptible to external interference compared to the case of using a shielded wiring for directly controlling the chrominance saturation.
Abstract:
An AGC amplifier having a Darlington pair as a noise gate circuit for preventing the development of unwanted AGC outputs due to noise pulses. The Darlington pair develops a larger overdrive with the same base current than if a single transistor is employed, so a longer storage time of the transistors results, lengthening the gate period. This makes available an AGC amplifier circuit with a noise gate circuit whose gate period is longer without using a capacitor, thereby providing a convenient means for application to monolithic integrated circuits.
Abstract:
A chrominance amplifier circuit, adapted to be formed in a monolithic integrated circuit, in which an automatic gain control function is performed by a circuit arrangement containing no capacitor, the automatic gain control function having no influence on the bandwidth characteristic of the amplifier so that the chrominance amplification operation can be stably performed.
Abstract:
A color killer circuit in which means are provided so as to carry out a stable color killing operation free from fluctuations in power supply voltage so that the color killing operation may not be directly affected by the absolute value of the color killer control voltage.

[Also in Division G3] A refrigerator particularly of a domestic type has at least one main compartment and at least one freezing compartment and at least one common evaporator connected to a compressor. In one phase of operation a compressor motor 45 is controlled by a thermistor 27 in the main compartment and in a selectively alternative freezing phase the motor 45 is controlled by a thermistor 37 in the freezing compartment and the temperature in the main compartment is adjusted by a heater 44 controlled by thermistor 27. A defrosting phase is also incorporated which is terminated by the thermistor 37 switched to provide a different temperature range. In position a, b of a switch G thermistor 27 controls motor 45 through a transistor 28 and relay 31 to regulate the main compartment temperature. Periodically e.g. once per 24 hours a timer motor 50 momentarily closes a switch 49 energizing a winding 47 of a defrosting valve and a relay 51, which is held over contacts B which shunt contacts 49, contacts A energizing motor 45 causing hot gas to be passed through the evaporator. When the temperature rises to a point determined by thermistor 37, a relay 41 is energized opening contacts f, g which disconnects the defrosting valve and relay 51, and closing contacts e, f re-energizing motor 45 until the temperature falls so that relay 41 de energizes. In position a, c, of switch G the motor 45 is controlled by thermistor 37 switched to a lower temperature range through a transistor 48 and relay 41. As the main compartment temperature drops below the operating point of transistor 28, heater 44 is energized through contacts f, g of relay 31 to maintain this temperature. In an alternative arrangement Fig. 3 (not shown), a heater (52) replaces the defrosting valve and motor 45 is not run during the defrosting period.
