A device for deflecting a light beam in response to an audio input signal includes a hub member, a mirror flexibly attached to the hub member, a magnet connected to the mirror, an electromagnetic coil, and a low pass filter. The electromagnetic coil is positioned adjacent the magnet for producing an electromagnetic field in relation to a received audio input signal when energized, thereby urging the magnet and the mirror to oscillate with respect to the hub member in relation to the audio input signal. The low pass filter filters out audio input signal frequencies that would cause the mirror and the magnet to naturally resonate. The mirror may be attached at an offset angle that causes a light beam striking the mirror to be deflected angularly away from an axis of rotation passing through the hub member.

Musical laser display device

The present invention involves a module on a single board for a power line control system including a transmitter circuit, a receiver circuit, and a control circuit. The transmitter circuit sends signals over the power line. The receiver circuit receives signals sent over the power line. The control circuit couples to the transmitter circuitry and the receiver circuitry. The control circuit includes a microprocessor and associated memory. The memory includes instructions enabling the microprocessor to interpret the received signals, generate transmit signals, and control the circuit which controls the electrical appliance. The receiver circuit includes feedback for attenuating the input signal to the receiver circuit. The microprocessor includes an output signal for attenuating the input signal to the receiver circuit. The memory includes programmable memory which can be FLASH memory. The memory also includes serial EEPROM. The control circuit includes a low voltage reset for automatically resetting the microprocessor after a low voltage condition. The transmitter circuit provides a 6 volts peak to peak signal on a 5 ohm reactance loaded power line. The receiver circuit provides a minimum sensitivity of 25 mv over a loaded power line. The memory includes instructions for sending an automatic acknowledge upon receiving a valid signal. The instructions also include instructions for determining a start code by comparing bit count values for four consecutive bits.

Intelligent transceiver module particularly suited for power line control systems

A linear, closed-loop current-to-pressure transducer operating with a two-way solenoid valve. Outlet fluid pressure feedback is provided by an integral-circuit pressure sensor having a direct, sealed connection to a manifold to which the solenoid valve is also directly connected, the pressure sensor being electrically connected to the feedback input of a servo amplifier which has a reference input connected to an analog control signal input through an input scaling circuit capable of adjusting both span and offset. The input scaling circuit, servo amplifier, pressure sensor, and manifold, which includes a feedback line from the solenoid valve to the pressure sensor, are mounted on a printed-circuit board.
