Double binary coding and decoding system employing nor logic

Claim 2

A CONTROL STATION, COMPRISING: TRANSMITTER MEANS COMPRISING A FIRST PAIR OF NOR ELEMENT MEANS EACH HAVING AN INPUT CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF THE OTHER AND OPERABLE TO TRANSMIT IN ALTERNATE AND SUCCESSIVE RELATIONSHIP PULSE AND SPACE TYPES OF RELATIVELY SHORT AND LONG DURATION SIGNALS OVER A SIGNAL CHANNEL; A SECOND PAIR OF NOR ELEMENTS EACH HAVING AN OUTPUT CONNECTED TO THE INPUT OF ONE OF SAID FIRST PAIR OF NOR ELEMENT MEANS AND AT LEAST ONE INPUT CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF THE OTHER OF SAID PAIR OF NOR ELEMENT MEANS; VARIABLE TIME DELAY MEANS CONNECTED BETWEEN EACH NOR ELEMENT OF SAID SECOND PAIR AND THE ASSOCIATED NOR ELEMENT OF SAID SECOND PAIR; AND MEANS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF NOR ELEMENT MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID SECOND PAIR OF NOR ELEMENTS OPERABLE TO SELECTIVELY EFFECT OPERATION OF THE TRANSMITTER MEANS TO SELECTIVELY SEND A DIFFERENT COMBINATION OF ANY ONE DURATION FOR EACH SIGNAL IN A PREDETERMINED NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE SIGNALS TO PROVIDE CODES OF DIFFERENT SIGNAL DURATIONS, EACH CODE INCLUDING SAID PREDETERMINED NUMBER OF SIGNALS.

Claim 3

A REMOTE STATION RESPONSIVE TO A PREDETERMINED NUMBER OF SUCCESSIVE PULSE AND SPACE TYPE SIGNALS RECEIVED ALTERNATELY, EACH SIGNAL BEING PRESENTED IN ONE OR THE OTHER OF TWO STATES OF EITHER RELATIVELY SHORT OR LONG DURATION TO PROVIDE A CODED SEQUENCE FO STATES CORRESPONDING TO ONE OF A PLURALITY OF OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED; A RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR FOR REPEATING THE RECEIVED SIGNALS; FIRST DETECTING MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR AND INCLUDING A FLIPFLOP HAVING AN INPUT AND AN OUTPUT OPERABLE BY THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR TO ASSUME AN OUTPUT CONDITION ONLY IN RESPONSE TO A PULSE TYPE OF SIGNAL AND OPERABLE TO BE RESET BY THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR WHEN RESPONDING TO THE OTHER TYPE OF SIGNAL; SECOND DETECTING MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR INCLUDING A FLIP-FLOP HAVING AN INPUT AND AND OUTPUT OPERABLE BY THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR TO ASSUME AN OUTPUT CONDITION ONLY IN RESPONSE TO A SPACE TYPE OF SIGNAL AND OPERABLE TO BE RESET BY THE RECEIVING MEANS WHEN RESPONDING TO A PULSE TYPE OF SIGNAL; A BINARY COUNTER CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR AND SAID FIRST AND SECOND DETECTING MEANS AND COMPRISING A PLURALITY FO FLIP-FLOPS CONNECTED IN TANDEM AND OPERABLE TO ADVANCE ONE COUNT IN RESPONSE TO A PULSE TYPE OF SIGNAL FROM THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR; REGISTER MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID COUNTER AND SAID FIRST AND SECOND DETECTING MEANS AND COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF FLIP-FLOP MEANS, EACH OF SAID FLIP-FLOP MEANS CORRESPONDING TO ONE SIGNAL INTERVAL IN A CODE AND EACH HAVING INPUTS OPERABLE IN RESPONSE TO OPERATION OF THE COUNTER AND THE FIRST AND SECOND DETECTING MEANS TO OPERATE ONLY WHEN THE CORRESPONDING SIGNAL IS IN ONE OF SAID TWO DIFFERENT STATES; SAID DECODER MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID BINARY COUNTER TO BE RESPONSIVE TO OPERTION OF THE REGISTER MEANS TO PERFORM AN OPERATION CORRESPONDING TO THE REGISTER CODE.

Claim 4

A REMOTE STATION RESPONSIVE TO A PREDETERMINED NUMBER OF SUCCESSIVE PULSE AND SPACE TYPE SIGNALS RECEIVED ALTERNATELY, EACH SIGNAL BEING PRESENTED IN ONE OR THE OTHER OF TWO STATES OF EITHER RELATIVELY SHORT OR LONG DURATION TO PROVIDE A CODED SEQUENCE FO STATES CORRESPONDING TO ONE OF A PLURALITY OF OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED; A RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR FOR REPEATING THE RECEIVED SIGNALS; FIRST DETECTING MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR AND INCLUDING A FLIPFLOP HAVING AN INPUT AND AN OUTPUT OPERABLE BY THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR TO ASSUME AN OUTPUT CONDITION ONLY IN RESPONSE TO A PULSE TYPE OF SIGNAL AND OPERABLE TO BE RESET BY THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR WHEN RESPONDING TO THE OTHER TYPE OF SIGNAL; SECOND DETECTING MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR INCLUDING A FLIP-FLOP HAVING AN INPUT AND AND OUTPUT OPERABLE BY THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR TO ASSUME AN OUTPUT CONDITION ONLY IN RESPONSE TO A SPACE TYPE OF SIGNAL AND OPERABLE TO BE RESET BY THE RECEIVING MEANS WHEN RESPONDING TO A PULSE TYPE OF SIGNAL; A BINARY COUNTER CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR AND SAID FIRST AND SECOND DETECTING MEANS AND COMPRISING A PLURALITY FO FLIP-FLOPS CONNECTED IN TANDEM AND OPERABLE TO ADVANCE ONE COUNT IN RESPONSE TO A PULSE TYPE OF SIGNAL FROM THE RECEIVING SIGNAL GENERATOR; REGISTER MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID COUNTER AND SAID FIRST AND SECOND DETECTING MEANS AND COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF FLIP-FLOP MEANS, EACH OF SAID FLIP-FLOP MEANS CORRESPONDING TO ONE SIGNAL INTERVAL IN A CODE AND EACH HAVING INPUTS OPERABLE IN RESPONSE TO OPERATION OF THE COUNTER AND THE FIRST AND SECOND DETECTING MEANS TO OPERATE ONLY WHEN THE CORRESPONDING SIGNAL IS IN ONE OF SAID TWO DIFFERENT STATES; SAID DECODER MEANS CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT RELATION WITH SAID BINARY COUNTER TO BE RESPONSIVE TO OPERTION OF THE REGISTER MEANS TO PERFORM AN OPERATION CORRESPONDING TO THE REGISTER CODE.
