He also stated that today's meeting offers an unusually good opportunity for the Board of Trustees to inspect the Assembly Hall, due to its present stage of construction and because its architect, Mr. Max Abramovitz, is here.

RECOMMENDATIONS O F T H E UNIVERSITY PATENT COMMITTEE (1) The University Patent Committee submits, with the concurrence of the Chairman of the University Research Board, the following recommendations relating to inventions by members of the staff. 1. Avalanche transistor circuit — William Michael Henebry, Electronics Engineer, Department of Physics, inventor. This device is a transistor circuit that permits the use of an avalanche transistor under high duty-cycle conditions. The Associate Head of the Department of Physics, in which this was developed, has considerable doubt that the device is patentable and, therefore, recommends that the rights of the University be released to the sponsoring agency, the United States Navy. The Patent Committee concurs. 2. Signal amplitude limiting and phase quantization in antenna systems — Donald Lester Bitzer, Research Assistant Professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, inventor. The novel aspects of this scheme are quantizing of the signal phase to a discrete phase level, application of this scheme to coherent radar
