Abstract: A digital transmission system comprising at least two transmitting-receiving (T/R) units and a single transmission line connected therebetween. One of the T/R units the first transmits a control signal to the other T/R units with which frame synchronization and timing recovery are carried out using the transmitted control signal. At the same time, the other T/R unit inhibits transmission of send signal therefrom to the first T/R unit. Further, the send signal from one T/R unit to the other T/R unit is transmitted in the form of a frame. Each frame includes, at its end portion, a non-signal duration portion.

Abstract: A simplified method of and apparatus for mounting an electronic part such as a transistor on a circuit board. Two or more selected ones of terminals of an electronic part are angularly bent in prior, and when the electronic part is to be mounted on a circuit board, the terminals are forcibly inserted into through-holes of the circuit board to an extent wherein bent portions of the terminals are projected below the circuit board. As a result, if a weak force is applied to pull the part off, the bent portions of the terminals will frictionally engage with edges of the through-holes to prevent the part from being removed from the board.

Abstract: An information communication system having a plurality of terminal equipment units, a network termination unit, a receive (R) line, and transmit (T) line. The terminal equipment units are commonly connected to the R and T line so as to communicate with the network termination unit. The communication is achieved in the form of successive frame signals, each composed of at least successive channels. Each terminal equipment determines a delay time for channel insertion into the frame signal on the T line. the delay time is determined during a learning identification algorithm operation which takes the transmission delay time along the R and T lines into consideration.

The value of the feedback current is regulated so that the maximum value of one of the same polarity signals and the opposite polarity signal coincides with the minimum value of the other of the two signals.

Abstract: An asynchronous transmission system for binary-coded information is disclosed. According to this system, in a transmitting terminal (A), when successive data of the same code in a set of asynchronous data lasts for a predetermined period of time (T.sub.1), a refresh pulse, the polarity of which is opposite to that of the successive data, is added to a transmission signal. However, the addition of such a refresh pulse to the transmission signal is inhibited for a predetermined period of time (T.sub.2) to allow for a change of data. In a receiving terminal (B), a pulse, the width of which is larger or equal to a minimum period of data, and a pulse, the width of which is smaller than or equal to a pulse-width (T.sub.0) of a refresh pulse, can be discriminated and removed by a pulse-width discrimination circuit. As a result, the refresh pulse is not present in the output signal of the pulse-width discrimination circuit. Thus, the original asynchronous data is restored.
