Method and circuit for generating a vera end pseudozufaelligen output signal is, in particular for controlling the production of yarns with quasi - randomly distributed bead structure
A novel circuit, having a number of novel subcombinations thereof, for producing alternate on and off signals which can be used to control one or more clutches which, when activated, produce a slub on a yarn or thread or a space between slubs or for controlling any other suitable circuitry or equipment. This circuit produces an extremely long pseudo-random pattern of effect dispersion to give a true random-like appearance in cloth which is woven from such slub yarns or threads. The minimum length of the spaces and slubs can be independently set on switches which are manually accessible from the exterior of the device and also the ratio between minimum and maximum slub and space widths can be also set on other switches. The circuitry automatically causes the length of the slubs and spaces produced to vary within this range defined between the minimum and maximum values, choosing in a pseudo-random manner successive ones of a fixed number of divisions within that range. In the embodiment described below, that fixed number is 14 divisions between the minimum and maximum length of the slubs and spaces. The circuitry can further be caused to operate in a mode whereby the space or slub length remains constant and another mode in which each of the possible separations in the pseudo-random pattern is produced in succession but not necessarily in order. Similarly, the circuitry can be caused, by manual operation of a switch on the exterior of the device, to produce a slub or space of maximum or minimum length.
