| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5208851 | Method for controlling allocation of a communication link A plurality of consoles (111-113) share use of a single landline (101) with minimal requirements for internal maintenance data signalling. As two or more consoles both share use of the link, a telephone interface (103) assigns one of the consoles to be re... | 05/04/1993 |
| 4803485 | Lan communication system and medium adapter for use therewith A communication system, medium adapter (10) for use therewith, and methods are provided which permit standard ring network transmission media (15) to support both ring and bus communication topologies and protocols, which may be selectively adapted to dif... | 02/07/1989 |
| 4728754 | Inter-bus system The inter-bus system provides the communication interconnection between communication systems to form a large telegraph packet switching exchange for example. The fast inter-bus system uses an RS-485 interface, however, the specific protocol used has part... | 03/01/1988 |
| 4711976 | Data transmission facility A data transmission facility comprises a central station and a plurality of substations connected thereto via a data bus, the substations outputting a control signal dependent on the transmission or reception condition thereof. A plurality of substations ... | 12/08/1987 |
| 4700019 | Method and circuit arrangement for the transmission of data signals to a group of control devices belonging to a loop system A data transmission system having a number of control devices connected by at least one clock-control transmission loop operated directionally dependent insures that a data signal intended for a group of control devices in the system is actually received ... | 10/13/1987 |
| 4700018 | Method and circuit arrangement for the transmission of data signals between two control devices belonging to a loop system A method and apparatus for transmitting data signals between two control devices connected to a loop transmission system are disclosed wherein data signals are transmitted in the form of signal blocks. In addition to the data signal, each signal block inc... | 10/13/1987 |
| 4697047 | Trunk coupling unit A relay circuit comprise first and second relays having respective terminals at which positive cross-talk of a signal of positive polarity is produced when the other terminals to which the positive polarity signal is applied are in the make and break stat... | 09/29/1987 |
| 4538026 | Loop back system for loop transmission line A loop back system for a loop transmission line allows the whole system to be looped back for addition or removal of a transmission device, without cutting off loops and in exactly the same manner as in ordinary data transfer. A plurality of transmission ... | 08/27/1985 |
| 4161634 | Count-down addressing system A system is described for randomly addressing any one of a plurality of remotely located stations connected by means of an electromagnetic wavepath. At the addressing point an addressing signal, comprising a series of m signal bursts, is generated and cou... | 07/17/1979 |
| 4161635 | Address verification system An address verification system is described for use in a communications system comprising a transmission path (14) having sequence of remote stations (1, 2, ... n) distributed therealong. After accessing the desired station, a loop-back (32) is establishe... | 07/17/1979 |
