Circuit for producing a series of substantially square wave output signals

TLDR
In this paper, a source of alternating current signals is applied across the inverting and non-inverting input terminals of a voltage comparator circuit through a series bias resistor, which is used to direct current flow through the bias resistor in respective first and second opposite directions.
Abstract
A source of alternating current signals is applied across the inverting and non-inverting input terminals of a voltage comparator circuit through a series bias resistor. Electrical circuitry including a supply potential source and the comparator circuit output terminal is effective to direct current flow through the bias resistor in respective first and second opposite directions while the comparator circuit is in the first and in the second operating conditions whereby the polarity of the potential generated across the bias resistor reverses with each change of operating condition of the comparator circuit.

Spark ignition systems for internal combustion engines

TL;DR: In this paper, a variable reluctance pick-up produces output pulses when sparks are required, and two voltage comparators compare the voltages on the capacitor and the resistor with threshold levels and a spark is only produced when both voltages exceed the threshold levels, so as to minimise the risk of spurious signals in the pickup producing a spark.
