Abstract
An apparatus for remote control applications comprises a detection device which is responsive to input signals for generating countable signals. A counting device is responsive to the countable signals for generating a time signal for each countable signal and a switching signal after a set number of countable signals. A first timer is responsive to the time signal for preventing the counting device from responding to the countable signals for a first period of time. A second timer is activated by said first timer at the end of the first period of time for resetting the counting device if a countable signal is not generated during a second period of time.
Claims9
An apparatus for remote control systems, comprising:
- (a) detection means responsive to input signals for generating countable signals;
- (b) counting means responsive to said countable signals for generating a time signal for each countable signal and a switching signal after a set number of countable signals;
- (c) gate means connected between said detection means and said counting means;
- and
- (d) first timer means, responsive to said time signal for operating said gate means whereby said counting means is prevented from responding to said countable signals for a first period of time;
- (e) second timer means activated by said first timer at the end of said first period for resetting said counting means if a countable signal is not generated during a second period of time;
- and
- (f) relay means responsive to said switching signal for controlling a device connected to said apparatus.
