  • Patent number: 4774703
    Abstract: A switching system is provided for application to a multichannel digital transmission network. It allows a defective channel to be replaced by an emergency channel without the user of the channel being aware of the replacement. On the emission side as well as on the reception side, switching and processing take place of bipolar signals, for example a High Density Bipolar 3 code, which allows the path doubled or extended so as to increase the operating safety of the network and provide greater flexibility in use.

  • Patent number: 4624715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for passivation of photoconductive detectors constituted by Hg Cd Te, wherein a layer of native oxide is formed on the faces of an Hg Cd Te wafer and it is made to grow, by pure chemical oxidation in an aqueous solution of K.sub.3 Fe(CN).sub.6 and of KOH. An ordinary layer of ZnS is then formed on the oxide layer. The process makes it possible to produce high-performance infrared detectors, simply.
