| | Low volume flow meter - Patent 5218346 |
 | | 5 shows the logic cycling of the multivibrators in response to a normal flow situation as depicted by a given set of monitoring conditions and a specific periodic input for either the low flow circuit or the modified circuit. |
 | | The period of the first retriggerable mono-stable multivibrator system, 5, is adjusted using the potentiometer, 6, so that its logic output, Q, remains at a logic one as long as the pulse period as detected by the photo-Darlington detector, 4, is shorter than a set drop-out time, FIG. |
 | | In the circuit shown the retrigger period of the second multivibrator, 7, is set to 10 seconds which is considered to be essentially negligible flow. |
