Abstract

A positive and negative acceleration responsive means and system is shown as comprising a speed sensor effective for sensing and generating an initial electrical signal indicative of the speed of a related moving structure, a zero crossing differentiator for receiving the initial speed signal and producing a secondary positive and negative electrical pulse in response to and in accordance with the initial speed signal, a multivibrator for receiving the secondary signal pulses and producing a unidirectional output pulse in response thereto, and integrator and differentiator means for producing an output voltage which, is directly related to the sensed accelerator or deceleration and which, in turn, may be employed for a desired related control function.
