  • Patent number: 4342976
    Abstract: The pulse transformer consists of a closed toroidal core (30), the primary winding (31) and secondary winding (32) of which are fashioned as multilayer, flexible printed circuit boards. These circuit boards have the shape of flat strips and are bent into loops. By means of pins (36-39 and 46-49, respectively), they are connected mechanically and partially electrically to a supporting printed circuit board (11). The pins connect the conductor tracks of the central layer of the flexible printed circuit boards with respectively one winding, whereas the upper and lower conductive layers shield the windings against electromagnetic interferences coming from the outside.The pulse transformer is suitable as an isolation transformer for the transmission of rapid digital signals arriving, for example, via a coaxial line (20).

  • Patent number: 4225962
    Abstract: A mosaic printer is made secure from unauthorized interception of data by falsifying the needle drive pulse current magnitude and sequence so that electromagnetic leakage radiation cannot be used to determine the alphanumeric data being printed. This falsification is accomplished by a compensation device having compensators energized each print cycle in addition to the printer needle drives in a reciprocal or a pseudorandom manner. The compensators have current consumption characteristics nominally identical to the needle drives and produce substantially identical radiation pulses, making it impossible to correlate the radiated pulse format with the symbol being printed.

  • Patent number: 4179701
    Abstract: A lever arm adapted to hold a stylus or the like on one end is rigidly connected at the opposite end in spaced parallel relation to a second arm, and a shaft perpendicular to both arms through the rigid connection provides a pivot axis therefore. An opening in each arm in registered relation, at equal distances from the shaft, receive tabs on opposite edges of a plate-shaped pivoting armature which suspend it between the two arms and position it in a diagonal neutral position in a gap between two axially opposed, individually switched solenoids, each having a contact area and diagonally opposing abutments for contacting the armature biased against them in neutral position by at least one spring, whereby actuation of the solenoids moves the arms to three different stable positions.

  • Patent number: 4119804
    Abstract: A plurality of subscriber stations is connected to one or more PCM multiplex lines of a PCM switching network via a unidirectional loop and a transfer station. The subscriber stations are series connected to the loop on which addressed telegrams circulate originating and ending at the transfer station. The subscriber stations receive the telegrams addressed to them and exchange them for transmission to the transfer station. The transfer station transmits a time-slot received on the PCM line as an addressed telegram and vice-versa. For enhancing reliability all subscribers can be connected via a second loop and a second transfer station to one or more further PCM lines.

  • Patent number: 4110743
    Abstract: A wireless paging receiver to be called up individually or as member of a group of receivers by a binary modulated carrier frequency call telegram. Each call telegram contains an address. Each individual address is composed by code words selected from a certain number of patterns. In a group call address one or more code words are replaced by a group call pattern, so that all receivers are called whose addresses contain the remaining code word patterns. For coding the address in the receiver only one connection must be positioned for each address code word. Messages can be transmitted with the call telegram and different call signals of different lengths generated. A parity check of the received call telegram is performed with little additional material.

  • Patent number: 4002842
    Abstract: A closed unidirectional transmission loop has plural stations coupled thereto in series for transmitting time multiplexed signals in the form of addressed byte groups. For transmitting a byte group, a station delays at the end of the byte group passing on the loop the following byte groups and introduces the byte group to be transmitted into the space resulting from the introduction of the delay. As soon as a byte group that is being or has been received by its addressee arrives at the station, this station removes the delay, thereby eliminating the byte group and thereafter can send the next byte group.

  • Patent number: 3974326
    Abstract: A black and white facsimile communication system wherein the document to be transmitted is scanned line by line, the scanner signals are sampled to obtain pulse sequences having a constant number of pulses for every line. The pulse sequences are converted into codewords for redundancy reduction. The codewords are transmitted and, in the receiver, reconverted into pulse sequences which control reproduction. Before reproduction every pulse sequence obtained by reconversion is tested whether it contains the correct number of pulses. If that is not the case, the last reproduced line is reproduced again instead of the line received with an error.
