In this arrangement, an integral number of cycles of ac is fed to the heater. No RFI or EMI is gen-erated with this method. The thermostat uses a thermistor as a sensor. The PA424 (GE) device gen-erates trigger pulses for the triac only at zero crossings of the ac line cycle. (View)

This tracer works by placing a square-wave signal on the line to be traced. The square wave is rich in harmonics. A small transistor radio placed close to a wire carrying this signal will buzz. The ra-dio, therefore, is used as a probe to trace out the wire. (View)

This figure illustrates the electric-field configuration of a capacitive proximity sensor of the ca-paciflector type. It includes a sensing electrode driven by an alternating voltage, which gives rise to an electric field in the vicinity of the electrode; an object that enters the electric field can be de-tected by its effect on the capacitance between the sensing electrode and electrical ground.Also, it includes a shielding electrode (in this case, driven shield 1), which is excited via a volt-age follower at the same voltage as that applied to the sensing electrode to concentrate more of the electric outward from the sensing electrode, increasing the sensitivity and range of the sensor. Be-cause the shielding electrode is driven via a voltage follower, it does not present a significant elec-trical load to the source of the alternating voltage.In this case, the layered electrode structure also includes a reference electrode adjacent to ground, plus a second shielding electrode (driven shield 2), which is excited via a voltage follower at the same voltage as that applied to the reference electrode. Driven shield 2 isolates the reference electrode from the electric field generated by driven shield 1 and the sensing electrode so that a nearby object exerts no ca[acitive effect on the reference electrode.The excitation is supplied by a crystal-controlled oscillator and applied to the sensing and ref-erence electrodes via a bridge circuit. Fixed capacitors C1 and C2 (or, alternatively, fixed resistors RI and R2) are chosen to balance the bridge; that is, to make the magnitude of the voltage at sens-ing-electrode node S equal the magnitude of the voltage at reference-electrode node R.The voltages at S and R are peak-detected and fed to a differential amplifier, which puts out volt-age 7, proportional to the difference between them. When no object intrudes into the electric field of the sensing electrode, the bridge remains in balance, and Vu - 0. When an object intrudes, it changes CS, unbalances the bridge, and causes Vu to differ from zero. The closer the object comes to the sensing electrode, the larger (Vu) becomes.An additional output voltage KVr is available, where K is the amplification and Vr is the voltage on the reference electrode.

This simple amplifier will work well with just about any phototransistor. The 741, although designed to operate with a split supply, will work with a single-sided supply as well. (View)

Q2 is held cut off since Q1 normally is conducting. When the touch plate is contacted by a large object (human body, etc.), stray 60-Hz pickup is rectified by D1 and D2, and produces a negative voltage across R2-C2 and the gate of Q1. Q1 cuts off, causes Q2 to conduct, and the output goes low. (View)

Use this circuit for checking fundamental HF crystals on a 'Go-No-Go' basis. An untuned Colpitts oscillator drives a voltage multiplier rectifier and a current amplifier. If the crystal oscillates, Q2 conducts and the LED lights. A3 or 6V, 40mA bulb could be substituted for the LED. (View)
