The advantage of this circuit is that the current waveform is smoother and consequently the rectifier no longer has to deal with the current as a large current pulse, but instead the current delivery is spread over the entire cycle.

Subsequently, when the two sheets are pressed towards each other again, the triboelectric-charge-induced potential difference will begin to decrease to zero, so that the transferred charges will flow back through the external load, to generate another current pulse in the opposite direction.
43.
Using a logical AND gate in continuous time ( having a stream of " 1 " and " 0 " pulses as one input and the current signal as the other ), the tail portion of every current pulse signal is extracted.
44.
A "'drum beat "'or "'drum pattern "'is a rhythmic pattern, or repeated rhythm establishing the musical beats while the term " drum beat " may also refer to a single drum stroke which may occupy more or less time than the current pulse.
45.
The total energy of the incident particle can be found by integrating this current pulse with respect to time to yield the total charge deposited at the end of the PMT . This integration is carried out in the analog-digital converter ( ADC ).
46.
By this time the design for ZETA II had grown considerably, it now featured a torus of in diameter, the toroidal magnets that provided stability increased in size 30 times, and the current pulse requited to operate it demaned an enormous power supply, using details developed and patented at Harwell.
47.
When queried, AMAT sent a high-current pulse through the wire for that particular line, inducing pulses in the appropriate rings which were amplified by a cold cathode tube amplifier and then by a relay, and sent back to the transverter which supplied it to the sender for transmission by ANI to the tandem office.
