| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4404676 | Partitioning method and apparatus using data-dependent boundary-marking code words A data-dependent code word consisting of redundancy bits marks a boundary of a multi-bit cell, and is coded to bear a mapping relationship to a data block within the cell. Embodiments using the data-dependent code word provide various types of synchroniza... | 09/13/1983 |
| 4397020 | Error monitoring in digital transmission systems Errors in digital transmission are monitored by employing a cyclical-redundancy-check (CRC).

| 4377863 | Synchronization loss tolerant cyclic error checking method and apparatus In a data processing system wherein a binary data message is protected by cyclic check codes, synchronization loss tolerance is incorporated by performing a binary transformation after encoding the message but prior to transmitting it or writing it to sto... | 03/22/1983 |
| 4375102 | Digital code word detection A method by which code words in a digital bit stream can be detected in a reliable manner without word synchronization, in an environment where the bit error rate is high. The bit stream is divided into data blocks having a number of bits equal to the num... | 02/22/1983 |
| 4366573 | Method for synchronizing code machines which are operated within the framework of a block transmission network A method for synchronizing code machines, operated within a block network, provides that a connection completion block be transmitted and a connection confirmation block be received and stored by a code machine, after which the code machines are phased in... | 12/28/1982 |
| 4361898 | Digital synchronizing system A synchronizing system for the control of the transmission of digital information which is composed of blocks separated by gaps and for which synchronization requires the production of a reference pulse. Each field of information includes a series of spac... | 11/30/1982 |
| 4312070 | Digital encoder-decoder A digital encoding and decoding system suited for use in a mobile trunked dispatch communication system capable of error correction, error detection, and detection of loss of synchronization. The encoder comprises a cyclic block encoder, an autosynchroniz... | 01/19/1982 |
| 4302831 | Method and circuit arrangement for clock synchronization in the transmission of digital information signals A method and a circuit arrangement for clock synchronization in the transmission of digital information signals.
