Abstract:
Device for randomly scanning trunks in time division switching systems. The trunks form a group which is divided into trunk beams or groups serving particular destinations and they are given successive addresses throughout the group. Each beam is defined by the address of its first trunk and the address of its last trunk. The scanning device cyclically supplies trunk addresses derived from one another by an address jump or increment. A trunk finder is controlled by the scanning device when the supplied address is comprised in the interval between the first and last addresses of a selected beam and remains inoperative when the supplied address is outside this interval. The number forming the address increment is a prime number with respect to the total number of trunks.
Abstract:
A switchable transmission system operating by time-sharing for data carrying digital information, comprises a distant exchange and a local exchange, whereof the timers are not strictly synchronous, and means of correcting the relative drift of these timers. The system employs means for correcting the repetitions or omissions of synchronization words. Means are incorporated in the distant exchange for the transmission of blank words on each transmission line between data-carrying words. The local exchange comprises three shift registers grouped in cascade and chronologically staggered with respect to each other, means for scanning words carrying digital information and for selectively connecting these scanning means to the said registers. The connecting means are controlled by repetitions or omissions of synchronization words, and by the reception of the blank words, in such manner as to make use, as the case may be, of the first or second registers or of the third and first registers, depending on the kind of synchronization error observed.
