Abstract: An apparatus transmits digital signals between a higher-ranking station and one or more subordinate stations through transmission devices. A signal transit time is automatically measured in the transmission devices, differences in transit time are automatically compensated for and useful signals in the various subordinate stations are automatically synchronized with one another.

Abstract: An image sensor has an optical configuration for imaging an image to be recorded onto sensor elements. The sensor elements have dimensions below a resolution of the optical configuration. Neighboring sensor elements are in each case combined into pixel sensor regions. During the recording of the image, the measured values X of the sensor elements of each sensor region are averaged. In this case, each average value corresponds to a pixel of the recorded image. In this manner, production-dictated tolerances of the sensor elements are compensated for by the averaging.

Abstract: A transmission system includes a central station, a counterpart station and at least two base stations connected to the central station through at least one interface. The base stations wirelessly exchange signals with at least one mobile terminal station. At least one Uko standard interface is expanded by a device for transmitting and delaying synchronizing signals, in such a way that a transmission of the at least one Uko interface that is synchronized with the other interfaces is attained.

Abstract: A method of data transmission for transmitting by a clocked transmission device discretized data incorporated in block form into a frame structure, the amount of data grouped together respectively in a block being variable and the clock frequency of the transmission device being changed according to this amount of data in such a way that the frame structure and frame length are maintained.

Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus includes a higher-level station, a lower-level station and a digital transmission device connected between the stations and having a signal transit time to be measured. Each of the stations has a transmitter for sending useful signals, each clocked by a respective clock signal, through the transmission device to other station. Each of the stations has a receiver for receiving the useful signals clocked by the other station and for separating out the clock signal superimposed on the applicable useful signal. The useful signal to be transmitted in the higher-level station is clocked by a given clock signal. The useful signal to be transmitted in the lower-level station is clocked by a clock signal derived from the clock signal separated out from the receiver of the lower-level station.

Abstract: A digital message switching system includes at least one digital message switching unit and a plurality of subordinate units each being coupled to the respective switching unit through a respective transmission link. In order to signal a request of a subordinate unit to transmit, that unit first sends at least one message of meaningless content to a higher-ranking unit and only then sends messages of meaningful content.

Abstract: A switched capacitor network includes a first capacitor being charged and discharged in alternation by a first switch device and being connected to a first voltage source for charging. A second capacitor is charged and discharged by the second switch device in synchronism with the first capacitor and is switched between the first voltage source and the second voltage source for charging. A product of the capacitance of the first capacitor and the voltage of the first voltage source is equal to a product of the capacitance of the second capacitor and a voltage difference between the two voltage sources. A product of the capacitance of the first capacitor and a contact resistance of the first switch device in a supply line path thereof, is equal to a product of the capacitance of the second capacitor and a sum of an internal resistance of the second voltage source and a contact resistance of the second switch device in a supply line path of the second capacitor.

Abstract: A switched capacitor network includes a switch device alternatingly charging two first capacitors having the same capacitance from a signal voltage source with polarities being opposite relative to a ground potential and then discharging each of the two first capacitors through the input circuit of a respective differential amplifier. The switch device alternatingly charges two second capacitors having the same capacitance in phase opposition with one another from a reference voltage source with the same polarities relative to the ground potential and then discharges each of the two second capacitors through the input circuit of a respective one of the differential amplifiers, in synchronism with the charging and discharging of the two first capacitors.
