Mechanical Vibration Of Vacuum Tubes, Jerry Dale Swearingen
Masters Theses
"Since the beginning of the art of vacuum tube building, vacuum tube engineers have been faced with many mechanical problems as well as electrical problems.
Early mechanical problems were comparatively small because most of the tubes were used in stationary apparatus where little or no vibration was envolved.
As time went on, vacuum tubes were placed in portable equipment and this useage established the need for a tube that was mechanically strong enough to give reliable electrical behavior where the tube was subjected to considerable vibration….

An Analysis Of The Monostable Cathode-Coupled Multivibrator, Joseph C. Connell
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
II. PURPOSE OF THESIS
The foregoing comments pointed out the facts that: 1) little has been done to show the similarity between the multivibrator and the RC amplifier with degenerative feedback; 2) the existing treatment of the conditions under which a linear relationship between pulse duration and applied grid voltage will exist does not give results which are in very good agreement with the values used in a practical circuit.
It is the purpose of this study to fill in these gaps by showing that the equations resulting from an analysis of the cathode-coupled multivibrator are, in general, those of …

The first few links of a new 330 KV transmission system are now under construction in this country. Sweden is already operating a 380 KV line. It is expected to carry a load as high as 850,000 KW on a single circuit.
Interconnection between systems in adjoining areas is a practice to get further operating benefits. The benefits are - reduction of necessary reserve capacity, increased load diversity, and decreasing losses.
Both of these developments bring …
The Design Of A Closed-Loop Voltage Regulator For A D-C Generator, Ernest P. Longerich
The Design Of A Closed-Loop Voltage Regulator For A D-C Generator, Ernest P. Longerich
Masters Theses
"The methods of obtaining voltage regulation for a d-c generator are many, and they vary in complexity according to the requirements of the loads being supplied.
A need for zero voltage regulation is not uncommon in power supplies that are used in laboratory work. It is frequently not enough, however, to have a supply whose steady state regulation is zero; the need may also exist for fast transient response to changes in load.
In general, then, the criteria for excellent voltage-versus-load characteristics of a d-c power supply might be stated as follows:
- It has zero steady state error.
- It has …

Transfer Function Of The Modified Kramer System, David L. Hillhouse
Masters Theses
"The use of operational mathematics in the solution of engineering problems has grown tremendously in the last two decades, particularly during the last war. This has come about because of the facility with which problems which would be almost impossibly complicated or tedious to solve by classical methods can be solved using operational calculus.
The operational calculus, particularly the Laplace transform method, has become especially useful in the field of servomechanisms and controls. Here the constantly increasing complexity of systems used has resulted in very high order differential equations. The fact that the Laplace transform method makes it possible to …

Analysis Of Magnetic Amplifiers Based On Assumed Analytical Expressions Of B-H Characteristics, Wiley Talley Ruhl
Masters Theses
"In the past 10 years, magnetic amplifiers have received much attention in many different fields of engineering. Although the principles of this amplifier have been known since 1915, it has been forced into the background by the development of the vacuum tube amplifier, the need of better core material and better dry disk rectifiers.
The basic magnetic amplifier, or saturable reactor, is nothing more than an iron core reactance coil whose a-c impedance is controlled by a d-c premagnetization of the core. This d-c premagnetization may be obtained in a number of ways, the simplest of which is a separate …

Clipper Amplitude Modulator, Durmuş Öcal
Masters Theses
"An amplitude modulated wave is defined as a wave form in which the amplitude of a sinusoidal signal (carrier) is varied in accordance with a modulating signal whose frequency is much lower than the frequency of the carrier signal. Numerous devices have been found for generating an amplitude modulated wave. In some modulators the amplitude of the carrier is actually varied in accordance with the modulating signal. In other types of modulators the carrier and the modulating signal are simultaneously applied to a nonlinear element or circuit. The output of this non-linear element is a distorted wave containing many frequencies. …
