The learnability and acquisition of the dative alternation

A contactless motion detector, comprising an output thyristor controlled by a switching network, has an oscillator coupled to the switching network via a pre-amplifier. The oscillator and the pre-amplifier are energized from a source of pulsating direct current via a supply circuit which is part of the switching network and includes a constant-current unit in parallel with the output thyristor. To prevent untimely switching of the thyristor when power is connected to the system, a delay unit retards the energization of the pre-amplifier until the oscillator has reached its operating condition. The delay unit may include one or more semiconductive devices, such as cascaded transistors or diodes, connected across a capacitor of a resistive/capacitive series circuit which bridges a smoothing capacitor inserted between a pair of bus bars.
