Abstract: The invention relates to a subscriber line terminal and a method for fault detection in the power supply having a multiplicity of subscriber line modules and at least one power supply. The subscriber line modules are supplied with reference to at least one voltage level used in the electronic system via at least two useful voltage bus lines, and the at least two useful voltage bus line are fed by at least two parallel-connected power supply units which simultaneously supply the two useful voltage bus lines in each case, at least one feedback of the voltage from the useful voltage bus line being provided per power supply unit.

Abstract: Data bits—in each case one bit multiplet with a predetermined number of bits per channel—are transmitted in accordance with a particular time sequence in time-division multiplex frames. According to a predetermined allocation of the channels to groups including in each case a predetermined subset of the channels, the multiplets of in each case one group are transmitted time-interleaved with respect to one another in the time-division multiplex frames. The various groups, however, are in each case transmitted successively in the frames.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement that controls the increase in voltage output of an operating voltage source such that a voltage dip during connection (or reconnection after repair) of a pluggable unit remains higher than the minimum allowable value and controls the decrease in voltage output to a normal operating voltage after a predetermined time interval. The increase can occur manually by a switch or automatically thru the use of sensors.

Abstract: After connecting a device to the switching device through device-specific connect command and transmission of a start command as well as transmission back of a start command acknowledgement signal, the connect command is partially or slightly changed and transmitted again, whereupon the switching device transmits a stop command to the particular device. The stop command is responded to by the particular device with a stop command acknowledgement signal transmitted back only, if after established connection it has received a start command before a stop command. The activation error is recognized in that after output of the changed connect command and the stop command transmitted thereupon each time, a stop command acknowledgement signal arrives in the switching device.

Abstract: In a circuit arrangement for PCM telecommunication facilities, especially PCM long distance exchange facilities with several synchronous pulse clock controlled transmitters for common transmitting chanel, information from different transmission processes flows over a transmitting channel common to all transmitters. In addition to the transmitting channel, a test channel is provided. For the prevention of simultaneous transmission and a co-mingling together of information, each transmitter transmits its own binary coded address to the transmitting channel always before a message as well as to the test channel and receives back the total information after combining on the test channel for comparison, bit-by-bit with the actual address information transmitted by it.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the instruction sequence in a stored program data processing system is described. An interrogation instruction causes the execution of a conditional check. As a result of this conditional check, one or the other of two bistable circuits is activated in dependence on the presence or absence of the prespecified condition. In an alternative embodiment, the apparatus can be modified to permit activation of both bistable circuits. One of the bistable circuits, when set, prevents execution of the next instruction in the instruction sequence. The setting of the other bistable circuit prevents execution of the next jump instruction occurring in the instruction sequence. A control signal in the interrogation instruction indicates which of the bistable circuits is to be set.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the sequential order between successive code signal groups in program controlled data processing systems is described. Each code signal group is supplied with an additional check character, e.g., a parity bit, derived from the succeeding code group. Consistency is tested by comparing the check character carried in a given code group and that derived from the following code group.
