摘要： In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus initiates a transaction and includes an acoustic data receiver, and microphone for receiving an audio signal having encoded data that is non-discernable by a listener and is transmitted as part of the audio signal. The microphone converts the sound waves into an electrical signal. A processor receives the electrical signal and retrieves transaction data that is part of the encoded data. A filter is associated with the microphone and removes a substantial portion of a human voice signal that may have been received within the microphone. Once the transaction data is retrieved, a telephone call can be originated and at least a portion of the transaction data can be transferred to a desired destination for initiating a transaction.

摘要： Digital information is encoded in the video portion of a television signal such that "n" (n is an integer) bits of the digital information are carried by each successive frame in a group of frames. The digital information is encoded by modulating a carrier signal, using, for example, either amplitude shift keying (ASK) or frequency shift keying (FSK), and the modulated carrier is then added to the video signal selectively, only in portions of the television program that (a) are not likely to be perceptible by a viewer, and (b) are of sufficient intensity to transmit the data. The video signal including the encoded digital data, may be transmitted, in real time, to a television receiver, or recorded for later playback. In either event, at a receiver, when the video signal containing the encoded information is displayed on a screen, the image is sensed or "viewed" by a photo detector, the output of which is applied to a band pass filter having a center frequency that corresponds to the oscillator frequency(s) in the encoder. The filter output is thresholded or FM detected, so that the receiver can recover the encoded data. By appropriately including checks bits and synchronization patterns, the bit stream output from the decoder can be synchronized, and the original encoded data recovered. Advantageously, the frequency of the oscillator in the ASK or FSK encoder is chosen so that the energy added to the video signal is in a portion of the frequency spectrum that otherwise contains little energy. This makes the added digital data imperceptible to a viewer. If desired, the same data may be repetitively encoded in several groups of frames, so as to increase the redundancy and thus the reliability of the overall system.

摘要： Techniques for employing a television set and a television set controller as the control interface for devices which themselves do not have display capability and for services provided via the telephone network. The techniques involve control apparatus which is connected to the telephone network and a television set and is responsive to inputs from a hand-held controller for the television set. The control apparatus outputs a screen which contains control selections to the television set and the user employs the controller to make a selection. The control apparatus then performs the control function specified by the selection. One application is a telephone messaging system: integral with the control apparatus is a system which can answer calls and store voice messages, fax messages, character-string messages, and script messages. The control apparatus plays the voice messages on the television set and provide screens to the television set which display the fax and character-string messages. The script messages contain code which the control apparatus executes to produce displays. Services provided by the telephone network are controlled and displayed analogously. The services may also involve other devices connected to the control apparatus. The control apparatus may further be used with supplemental output devices such as printers and supplemental input devices such as fax machines, electronic pads, and keyboards.

摘要： An apparatus records and accesses information received over a phone network. The apparatus is part of a system that has a premises phone connected to the phone network via a first communication channel. The apparatus includes a premises recording unit which records information, phone messages and prompts received from the network along the first communication channel. The premises recording unit interfaces with the video display for displaying stored information, telephone messages and prompts. The premises recording unit is responsive to control signals received from a premises phone along a second communication control channel extending between the premises phone and premises recording unit. A switch in the system allows the premises phone to communicate with the network along the first communication channel and also controls the premises recording unit through signal generation by the premises phone through the second communication control channel to the premises recording unit. The first communication channel can comprise a twisted pair of wire and a carrier signal extending along the twisted wire pair at a first frequency range. The second communication channel can comprise a subcarrier signal extending along the twisted wire pair at a second frequency range.

摘要： An improved diode laser is attained by augmenting the conventional diode laser structure with a cylindrical lens that arrests the divergence of the beam in the spatial direction where it is rapidly diverging. To properly arrest the divergence of the beam and to thereby circularize it, the cylindrical lens is placed at a point in space where the size of the laser beam in the two orthogonal spatial directions is substantially the same. With proper selection of the lens' focal length, the nearly circular cross section of the light is maintained as it travels away from the diode laser. The diode laser is further improved by making the diode structure facet that is closest to the lens highly transmissive, and forming a partially reflective facet on the otherside of the lens. The elongates the resonance cavity.

摘要： An optical device is disclosed wherein a Fabry-Perot etalon (12) is used as a spectral mode selector externally coupled to a source of modelocked optical pulses (10). By adjusting the cavity length of the etalon (12), a plurality of equally spaced predetermined modes output from the source are transmitted by the etalon. These modes which are transmitted combine coherently to create a stream of optical pulses (16) having a higher repetition rate than the repetition rate of the source.
