Abstract:
To monitor the winding temperature of a coil, preferably the magnet coil of a magnetic valve, it is proposed to use as the monitored magnitude the resistance related to the temperature of the winding. For this purpose the winding is supplied during the measurement time with a constant or predeterminable voltage or current and the voltage or current related to the temperature of the winding is used as the magnitude to be measured.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for checking the signal path in a measuring system of the type having a collector for charged particles and an amplifier connected to its output to form a voltage or current signal. To permit sensitivity tests with currents on the order of 10.sup.-12 A and less, it is proposed that a capacitive current, produced by means of a influencing electrode situated in the vicinity of the charge collector, be fed into the charge collector. An electrode already present in the measuring system can be used as the influencing electrode.
Abstract:
A resonant-circuit, high-frequency electrical power supply for a mass spectrometer has a transductor for magnetically retuning the power supply in response to tuning variations produced by operating variations in the mass spectrometer.
