Abstract
Abstract A THIN-FILM RESISTOR, WHICH IS TO BE ANODIZED TO INCREASE ITS RESISTANCE TO A PRESELECTED VALUE IS CONNECTED TO ONE ARM OF A BRIDGE CIRCUIT. AS THE RESISTOR IS BEING ANODIZED AND INBALANCE INTHE BRIDGE DRIVES A MONITOR CIRCUIT WHICH CONTROLS A VARIABLE RESISTANCE IN SERIES WITH A SUPPLY OF ANODIZING VOLTAGE. AS THE THIN-FILM RESISTOR BEING ANODIZED APPROACHES THE PRESELECTED VALUE, THE BRIDGE BECOMES MORE NEARLY BALANCED AND THE VARIABLE RESISTOR INCREASES IN VALUE TO INTERRUPT THE FLOW OF ANODIZING CURRENT.
