Abstract:
An analog to digital encoder obtains the binary digits from successive comparisons between the analog signal and reference signals obtained from different combinations of a number of reference signal sources activated by means of setting appertaining flip-flops. The setting of the desired flip-flops is controlled by logical circuits interconnecting the flip-flops. By means of these logical circuits the shift register normally required in this type of coder can be eliminated.
Abstract:
In an automatic telephone exchange certain subscribers can use short numbers instead of the directory numbers for calls to optionally selected extensions which often are called from the subscriber. The invention has for a purpose to indicate at the called subscriber''s instrument who is calling or has called with the use of a short number. A registering means for short numbers is arranged at the subscriber''s instrument. In the exchange identifying means and analyzer are arranged so that on one hand the identity of the called extension corresponding to a short number is indicated for connecting a telephone communication, on the other hand the short number of the calling subscriber valid at the called part is indicated for setting the registering means of the called subscriber''s instrument.
Abstract:
A method for synchronizing the receiver and the transmitter in a PCM-receiver system wherein binary information is transmitted within cyclically occurring channels. The last bit of each of the channels form a synchronization pattern, which is regular but has at least one irregularity which occurs within a predetermined channel. By first using the regular part of the synchronization pattern for synchronizing the bit distributors of the transmitter and the receiver and then the irregularity for synchronizing the channel distributors a very fast two stage synchronization process is obtained.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a multicell arithmetic unit which can either perform an addition of two binary words or one of a plurality of logical operations on the two binary words. Each cell of the unit processes one position of the operands and has a carry input, inputs for the operands, inputs for the complements of the operands, an input indicating addition and inputs indicating logical functions. Four NAND gates have pairs of inputs connected to combinations of the operand inputs and the complements of the operand inputs. The inputs of the NAND gates are controlled by logical networks which receive signals from the inputs indicating addition, indicating logical functions and the carry input. The output of a cell is the output of a four-input AND circuit whose inputs are connected to the different outputs of the NAND circuits.
Abstract:
A circuit arrangement provides for the generation of horizontal and vertical line segments related to voltage levels and frequencies, respectively, on a cathode-ray indicator to indicate the tolerance range of the transfer characteristic of a frequency sensitive measuring device. The device receives a sweep frequency signal from a sweep frequency generator. The sweep frequency generator in conjunction with a sawtooth generator is used by circuitry which performs level comparisons at particular frequencies on the output signal of the measuring device to provide intensity modulating pulses that are fed to the cathoderay indicator.

THE AREA OF THE CONDUCTOR IS COVERED WITH A LAYER OF UNALLOYED TIN WITH A THICKNESS OF 0.1U-0.5U AND A LAYER APPLIED OUTSIDE SAID LAYER CONSISTING OF A TIN LEAD ALLOY WITH A THICKNESS OF 0.1U-4.0U CONTAINING BETWEEN 10% AND 80% TIN AND THE REMAINDER LEAD.
Abstract:
Incorporated within a toy is a cardiac sound simulator. The simulator comprises a pulse generator which generates pulses in pairs. The time between the pulses in each pair being less than the time between pairs and the two pulses of a pair having different time durations. The pulses are fed to a loudspeaker which converts the pulses to a sound having the rhythm of a heartbeat.
