Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A SYSTEM FOR SUPPRESSING ECHOES IN A TWO-WAY SIGNALING CIRCUIT INCLUDING INCOMING AND OUTGOING ONE-WAY PATHS, COMPRISING, ADJUSTABLE MEANS FOR ALTERING THE TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY OF SAID OUTGOING ONE-WAY PATH, FIRST MEANS FOR DIFFERENTIALLY RESPONDING TO THE AMPLITUDE OF SIGNALS IN BOTH OF SAID ONE-WAY PATHS, MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID FIRST DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE FOR ESTABLISHING THE DYNAMIC RANGE THROUGH WHICH SAID ADJUSTABLE MEANS IS OPERATIVE, SECOND MEANS FOR DIFFERENTIALLY RESPONDING TO THE AMPLITUDE OF SIGNALS IN BOTH OF SAID ONE-WAY PATHS, MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID SECOND DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE FOR SMOOTHLY ALTERING THE TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY OF SAID OUTGOING PATH WITHIN SAID PRE-ESTABLISHED DYNAMIC RANGE, MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID ONE-WAY PATHS FOR RESPONDING TO THE NOISE LEVEL IN SAID TWO-WAY CIRCUIT, AND MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID NOISE RESPONSE FOR ADJUSTING THE SENSITIVITY OF SAID ADJUSTABLE MEANS.
