Abstract: Self-interference cancellation is provided in two-way relayed electromagnetic communication between a first device and a second device through a relay station wherein a representation of a relayed composite signal above baseband and a representation of a locally modulated interface signal above baseband interact to effect the self-interference cancellation. Specifically, the composite signal, which contains a relayed version of the locally modulated (near) signal from the first device and a relayed version of a modulated far signal from the second device, is received at the first device from the relay station. The composite signal is then provided in a representation as a first interface signal at a first frequency at or above baseband to a canceler module of the first device and a representation of the modulated near signal at a second frequency above baseband is provided as a second interface signal to the canceler module.

Abstract: Multi-channel self-interference cancellation is provided in relayed electromagnetic communication between a first device and one or more other devices on one or more shared frequency channels. Specifically, near signals are generated at the first device and transmitted to a relay station. A composite signal is received at the first device from the relay station containing relayed versions of the near signals and relayed versions of remote signals transmitted from the one or more other devices, the composite signal having frequency channels including the one or more shared frequency channels, each shared frequency channel occupied by at least one of the relayed near signals and one of the relayed remote signals. One or more cancellation signals are selectively generated, each having a frequency band corresponding to one of the shared frequency channels. The cancellation signals are combined with the composite signal to produce a desired signal representing the relayed remote signals.

A multiple reflector unit is positioned between the lamps and the circuit board to direct light from flashing lamps through the front housing member. The back housing member is transparent, and an indicia sheet is sandwiched between the back of the array and the circuit board and contains colored flash indicator dots, instructions, and/or other indicia visible through the back of the array.

A metal shield, in the form of a sheet of metal foil or foil-covered paper, is positioned adjacent to the other side of the circuit board and is in contact with a common electrical run on the circuit board. Strips of radiation-sensitive plastic are positioned between the shield and the circuit board to function as electrical insulation, and also function as flash indicators by distorting due to radiation from an adjacent flashing lamp. Preferably, a conductive reflector member is positioned between the lamps and the circuit board and is connected to the common electrical circuit run.

Abstract: A multiple photoflash lamp unit is connectable to a camera in different orientations, and the lamps and electrical circuit are arranged so that in the different orientations of the unit a different group of the lamps can be flashed. A connector circuit arrangement electrically shorts the circuitry of the remaining lamps so they cannot be accidentally flashed.

Abstract: A multiple flash lamp array contains a sequentially switching lamp flashing circuit in the form of a printed circuit on a surface of a circuit board. A metal shield is provided over the other surface of the circuit board to reduce the possibility of accidental flashing of lamps by electrostatic voltage, which flashing tends to occur particularly when high voltage types of lamps are used in the array. Preferably, the shield is connected electrically to a lead-in wire of each lamp in the array, and also is connected electrically to a conductive reflector member positioned near the other side of the circuit board from the shield.
