  • Encoder for transmitted message deactivation code
    Patent number: 4431991
    Abstract: An encoder for transmission of a digital deactivation code at the end of a variable length message transmission. The encoder adds a deactivation code to the end of an operator's transmitted message in order to inform the designated message receiving device that the message has concluded and thereby enable transmission of additional information immediately. Preferrably, the encoder transmits a digital deactivation code immediately following a variable length voice message transmission.

  • Decoder for transmitted message deactivation code
    Patent number: 4423416
    Abstract: A decoder for receiving a transmitted message followed by a digital deactivation code is described. To prevent unnecessary utilization of a broadcast channel, the decoder responds to a digital deactivation code received at the end of a variable length analog or digital message.

  • Astable multivibrator with temperature compensation and requiring a single supply voltage
    Patent number: 4110704
    Abstract: A multivibrator utilizing two split inverter pairs of MOSFETS and requiring a supply voltage less than the sum of the threshold voltages of the complementary P-N channel devices. The transconductances of each pair are balanced to provide temperature compensation. MOS capacitors can also be utilized. Good frequency stability and low current drain are inherent in the design.
