Self-correcting circuit arrangement for determining the signal with a preferential value at the outputs of a decoding matrix

Claim 1

A SELF-CORRECTION ARRANGEMENT FOR A DECODING MATRIXCOMPRISING: 2N BINARY CODE GROUPS HAVING N POSITIONS INCLUDING N INPUT MEANS FOR SAID CODE GROUPS AND 2N OUTPUT ROWS COUPLED TO GIVE A PATTERN TO SAID INPUT MEANS TO PRODUCE ON EACH ROW A PREFERENTITAL SIGNAL REPRESENTED BY A DIFFERENT ONE OF SAID CODE GROUPS; AND A CIRUIT TO DETECT SAID OUTPUT ROW CORRESPONDING TO SAID CODE GROUPS COUPLED TO SAID INPUT MEANS EVEN WHEN THAT ROW IS DEFECTIVE INCLUDING: A CHECK MATRIX ARRANGEMENT HAVING A PLURALITY OF INPUT MEANS EACH COUPLED TO A DIFFERENT ONE OF SAID OUTPUT ROWS OF SAID DECODING MATRIX, AND A PLURALITY OF OUTPUT MEANS COUPLED TO SAID INPUT MEANS OF SAID CHECK MATRIX ARRANGEMENT IN ACCORDANCE TO A GIVEN PATTERN TO PROVIDE THE HIHEST AMPLITUDE SIGNAL ON SAID OUTPUT MEANS OF SAID CHECK MATRIX ARRANGEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH SAID OUTPUT ROW OF SAID DECODING MATRIX CORRESPONDING TO SAID CODE GROUPS, AND THRESHOLD DEVICES HAVING A PREDETERMINED THRESHOLD LEVEL COUPLED TO THE OUTPUT MEANS OF SAID CHECK MATRIX ARRANGEMENT TO PASS ONLY SAID HIGHEST AMPLITUDE SIGNAL.
