    摘要: A system, method and apparatus for selectively interrogating transponders which are located at remote stations connected to a central interrogating station. In one embodiment, a number of transponders which make up a final group within a larger group of transponders, all attached to a common line running from the central station, are selected and simultaneously caused to retransmit modified interrogation signals in accordance with certain informational characteristics and the identity of each transponder retransmitting. The final group of transponders chosen to be interrogated is selected by first sending a number n of tones of a larger group of tones m down a branch line to partially activate some of the transponders. These tones are followed by a smaller number of tones k chosen from the group n to which only the transponders in the final group respond. The system is particularly designed for use in a subscriber television network and specific circuitry for accomplishing the logical and electrical functions required are described.

    摘要: 1. A decoder for use with a receiver in a secrecy system of the type in which at least part of the intelligence signals are scrambled, comprising means for employing at a given time a unique unscrambling code for decoding the scrambled intelligence signals, and means in the decoder for coding at least some of the intelligence signals during any of said given time in which no code whatsoever is employed to effect said decoding.

    摘要: A TELEVISION SCRAMBLING SYSTEM IN WHICH THE VIDEO AND SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS ARE TIME SHIFTED ON A RANDOMLY CODED BASIS. THE CODE IS PARTIALLY GENERATED BY PERIODICALLY OCCURRING COUNTER SIGNALS BEING RANDOMLY GATED TO AN ORDER SWITCH MATRIX WHICH IS MANUALLY CHANGEABLE TO ANY OF NUMEROUS AVAILABLE ORDERS FOR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS OF THE RANDOMLY GATED COUNTER SIGNALS, AND THE ORDERED SIGNALS ARE APPLIED BOTH TO A SET OF TONE GENERATORS AND A STORAGE SWITCH MATRIX. THE RESULTING TONES ARE TRANSMITTED TO CONVEY AN UNSCRAMBLING CODE TO RECEIVERS, WHILE THE SIGNALS IN THE STORAGE SWITCH MATRIX ARE MANUALLY CHANGED FOR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS TO CAUSE DIFFERENT SETS OF FLIP-FLOP OUTPUT SIGNALS WHICH ARE THEN MIXED BY ANOTHER SWITCH MATRIX AND APPLIED TO DIFFERENT VIDEO SIGNAL DELAY LINES FOR GATING SAME FOR TRANSMISSION.
