摘要:
A party line telephone system capable of effecting selective calling from one station to another and particularly adapted for use in battery-powered two-wire telephone systems such as those used in underground mines where consideration of intrinsic safety, low power consumption and compatibility with existing equipment are paramount. The system of the invention is such that the receiver at each station in the network need not be connected to a battery-powered source for any prolonged period of time except when that station is being called by another station for a private conversation, thereby conserving battery power.
摘要:
A telephone ringing signal detector is disclosed for detecting four-party fully selective superimposed ringing signals on a telephone line. Detecting these signals at the central office end of a subscriber loop carrier system permits encoding the ringing signals for transmission on the carrier system and subsequent decoding and utilization at a remote carrier terminal to control the regeneration of selective ringing signals.The ringing detector includes separate 20 Hz alternating current signal detectors for each conductor of the telephone pair and further includes separate polarity detector for each conductor. The polarity signals for the two conductors are gated by the outputs of the respective 20 Hz signals and combined in a single polarity indication applicable for either conductor. False signaling indications are thereby prevented in the presence of central office variations of amplitude, waveform and level of the dc signals, as well as variations in the phase of the ringing signals.

A local subscriber battery is connected through a battery charging circuit, a disconnect circuit, and a cable pair to a central office talking battery. The disconnect circuit includes a pair of transistor switches that are connected in series between associated lines of the cable pair and the charging circuit for selectively blocking line current to the latter at the start of a dial pulse; a first resistor-capacitor network for detecting initiation of a dial pulse; and a second resistor-capacitor network for controlling the operation of the switches. The second network is responsive to operation of the first network for holding the switches open to prevent charging current flowing on the cable pair for a prescribed time interval after detection of the leading edge of a dial pulse. This ensures that the contacts of the A-pulsing relay in the central office drop out in response to the dial pulse.
