TL;DR: In this paper, a simple r-f beep synchronized with the T.V. signal is used to identify each station at controlled times identifying each station, in such a way that each set transmitter emits the beep only in its unique time slot.
Abstract: Query signals are transmitted by wireless means from the television station to the television set. Response units at receiver locations have a radio frequency transmitter send a response to the station inquiry sent on horizontal lines of the T.V. signal at controlled times identifying each station. This response is a simple r-f beep synchronized with the T.V. signal, in such a way that each set transmitter emits the beep only in its unique time slot. Simplified response units are tuned to the standard intermediate frequency of the T.V. sets and thus need not be wired in and need not have a channel selector.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a scheme to prevent an erroneous operation due to plural transmission signals produced at the time of operating an optical wireless operating device once by receiving an optical-wireless signal, performing the time delay operation for a prescribed time in case of storing the address data of terminal equipment.
Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent an erroneous operation due to plural transmission signals produced at the time of operating an optical wireless operating device once by receiving an optical wireless signal, performing the time delay operation for a prescribed time in case of storing the address data of terminal equipment and making the operation data of the same address received within the time invalid. CONSTITUTION: The optical wireless signal is received by the receiving part 7 of an optical wireless repeater 5 and the address data and the operating data are detected. A master machine 1 recognizes that an illumination load 3 operates and returns a processing completion signal including the address data of the terminal equipment 2 to the optical wireless repeater 5. When the address data of this processing completion signal is stored in an address data memory part 9, a timer 11 is set to start the limiting time operation. When the optical wireless signal transmitted from the optical wireless operating device 6 is received by the receiving part 7, it is compared with the address data stored in the address data memory part 9 in a comparison part 10. Since the both address data naturally coincide, the comparison part 10 makes the operating data of the receiving part 7 invalid. COPYRIGHT: (C)1987,JPO&Japio

TL;DR: In this paper, a base-band processor provides control of conversion of PCM signals at one bit rate to other bit rates, and also provides echo cancellation where it uses dynamic memory to store received signals.
Abstract: A base-band processor provides control of conversion of PCM signals at one bit rate to other bit rates. It converts received digital signals to voice signals and vice versa. It also provides echo cancellation where it uses dynamic memory to store received signals. PROM's store the echo cancellation program information as well as that for utilisation of the processor as a control processor.As a control processor it signals to the frequency synthesiser the frequency of operation for communication to the base station. The processor is directly coupled to a modem processor which is able to access the base band processor memory. This processor sends its signal at a predetermined sampling rate which are converted to analogue signals. The analogue signals are subjected to a cancellation process to reduce distortion. These signals are converted to an IF for addition to the synthesiser frequency to result in an HF signal for transmission

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to change the time length of the call signal for every terminal device and entering the communication condition after discriminating that other terminal devices will not generate before and after a call signal is sent from the terminal device.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To make a cost low-priced, to prevent simultaneous outgoing and to reduce the communication inability by transmitting and receiving by the same frequency between a main body and a terminal device, changing the time length of the call signal for every terminal device and entering the communication condition after discrim inating that other terminal device will not generate before and after a call signal is sent from the terminal device. CONSTITUTION:Before the terminal device 2 generates a call signal, first, the device enters a receiving condition and it is confirmed whether other terminal devices 3-5 are communicating with the main body 1 or not. At respective terminal devices 2-5, the time of the call signal is set so that it may become the longest in the sequence according to the importance. For example, when the priority sequence of the terminal devices 2-5 is the sequence of the terminals 2-5, the time length is four seconds for the terminal device 2, three seconds for the terminal device 3, two seconds for the terminal device 4 and one second for the terminal device 5. In this way, the higher the priority is, the easier the communication condition is entered, and the disturbance such as the same frequency and the simultaneous call can be avoided. Since communica tion can be executed by the same frequency, the main body 1 and the terminal devices 2-5 can be low-priced with a simple constitution.
