Title: Jean C. Curtinot: Innovations in Ultra-High-Frequency Tuning

Introduction

Jean C. Curtinot is an inventor associated with Paris, France, and Thomson-CSF. His work includes inventions for tuning ultra-high-frequency filters and devices, with 2 patents listed in the provided data.

Latest Patents

Curtinot’s listed patents address two approaches to ultra-high-frequency tuning.

“ T unable ultra-high frequency filter with variable capacitance tuning” describes a filter designed to operate across a wide frequency range. Its tuning devices use coaxial fixed and movable fingers, with a plunger that enters a hollow finger to provide supplementary variable capacitance. The minimum capacitance can be adjusted by moving one finger relative to the other.

“Ultra-high frequency tuning device of the sliding contact type” describes a device in which a moving rod passes through a fixed hollow cylindrical member. Slots at the member’s end form elastic contacts, which are covered with electrolytic silver. Joined silver contacts are welded to the elastic members to maintain electrical contact with the rod and reduce conduction problems caused by wear.

Career Highlights

The inventions attributed to Curtinot focus on practical tuning mechanisms for ultra-high-frequency equipment. They address both variable-capacitance adjustment and the durability of sliding electrical contacts.
