Transmission time-bandwidth reduction system and method

Claim 1

AN INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM COMPRISING: SELECTIVELY ACTUABLE MEANS FOR GENERATING AT A FIXED RATE AN INITIAL TIME-BASED ELECTRICAL SIGNAL COVEYING THE IN FORMATION TO BE TRANSMITTED; MEANS FOR ACTUATING SAID INITIAL SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS DURING FIRST SPACED INTERVALS; TIME-BASED SIGNAL STORAGE MEANS FOR STORING SAID INITIAL SIGNAL DURING SAID FIRST INTERVALS; SELECTIVELY ACTUABLE MEANS INCLUDING SAID STORAGE MEANS FOR GENERATING A SECOND TIME-BASED ELECTRICAL SIGNAL RESPONSIVE TO THE STORED INITIAL SIGNAL FIRST INTERVALS; RESPECTIVELY INTERMEDIATE AND FIRST INTERVALS; MEANS FOR NORMALLY ACTUATING SAID SECOND SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS TO GENERATE SAID SECOND SIGNAL AT A FIRST RATE; MEANS FOR TRANSMITTING SAID SECOND SIGNAL AND FOR RECEIVING THE SAME; MEANS FOR SENSING THE SIMULTANEOUS PRESENCE IN SAID FIRST STORAGE MEANS DURING SAID INTERVALS OF A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT OF ADJACENT REDUNDANT INFORMATION IN THE SIGNAL STORED THEREIN; MEANS FOR ACTUATING SAID SECOND SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS IN RESPONSE TO SAID FIRST SENSING MEANS TO GENERATE SAID SECOND SIGNAL AT A SECOND RATE FASTER THAN SAID FIRST RATE FOR THE DURATION OF SAID REDUNDANT INFORMATION; MEANS FOR MODIFYING THE TRANSMITTED SECOND SIGNAL TO PROVIDE A CODED SIGNAL COMPONENT IN RESPONSE TO SAID SENSING MEANS; AND MEANS FOR CONVERTING THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNAL INTO OUTPUT INFORMATION.

Claim 3

THE METHOD OF INFORMATION TRANSMISSION COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: GENERATING AN INITIAL TIME-BASED ELECTRICAL SIGNAL CONVEYING THE INFORMATION TO BE TRANSMITTED DURING SUCCESSIVE SPACED FIRST INTERVALS; NORMALLY SEQUENTIALLY STORING SAID INITIAL SIGNAL DURING SAID FIRST INTERVALS; GENERATING AT A FIRST RATE A SECOND TIME-BASED ELECTRICAL SIGNAL RESPONSIVE TO THE STORED INITIAL SIGNAL DURING SUCCESSIVE SECOND INTERVALS INTERMEDIATE AND SAID FIRST INTERVALS; SENSING THE SIMULTANEOUS PRESENCE IN THE STORED INITIAL SIGNAL OF A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT OF ADJACENT REDUNDANT INFORMATION AND INCREASING THE RATE OF GENERATION OF SAID SECOND SIGNAL TO A SECOND RATE IN RESPONSE THERETO FOR THE DURATION OF SAID REDUNDANT INFORMATION; MODIFYING SAID SECOND SIGNAL TO PROVIDE A CODED SIGNAL COMPONENT IN RESPONSE TO SAID SENSING; TRANSMITTING SAID SCOND SIGNAL DURING SAID SECOND INTERVALS AND RECEIVING THE SAME; SEPARATING THE CODED SIGNAL COMPONENTS FROM THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNALS; SEQUENTIALLY STORING THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNALS AT SAID FIRST RATE; INCREASING THE RATE OF STORAGE OF THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNALS TO SAID SECOND RATE IN RESPONSE TO SAID SEPARATE CODED SIGNAL COMPONENTS; AND CONVERTING THE STORED SECOND SIGNALS TO OUTPUT INFORMATION.

Claim 4

THE METHOD OF INFORMATION TRANSMISSION COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: GENERATING AN INITIAL TIME-BASED ELECTRICAL SIGNAL CONVEYING THE INFORMATION TO BE TRANSMITTED DURING SUCCESSIVE SPACED FIRST INTERVALS; NORMALLY SEQUENTIALLY STORING SAID INITIAL SIGNAL DURING SAID FIRST INTERVALS; GENERATING AT A FIRST RATE A SECOND TIME-BASED ELECTRICAL SIGNAL RESPONSIVE TO THE STORED INITIAL SIGNAL DURING SUCCESSIVE SECOND INTERVALS INTERMEDIATE AND SAID FIRST INTERVALS; SENSING THE SIMULTANEOUS PRESENCE IN THE STORED INITIAL SIGNAL OF A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT OF ADJACENT REDUNDANT INFORMATION AND INCREASING THE RATE OF GENERATION OF SAID SECOND SIGNAL TO A SECOND RATE IN RESPONSE THERETO FOR THE DURATION OF SAID REDUNDANT INFORMATION; MODIFYING SAID SECOND SIGNAL TO PROVIDE A CODED SIGNAL COMPONENT IN RESPONSE TO SAID SENSING; TRANSMITTING SAID SCOND SIGNAL DURING SAID SECOND INTERVALS AND RECEIVING THE SAME; SEPARATING THE CODED SIGNAL COMPONENTS FROM THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNALS; SEQUENTIALLY STORING THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNALS AT SAID FIRST RATE; INCREASING THE RATE OF STORAGE OF THE RECEIVED SECOND SIGNALS TO SAID SECOND RATE IN RESPONSE TO SAID SEPARATE CODED SIGNAL COMPONENTS; AND CONVERTING THE STORED SECOND SIGNALS TO OUTPUT INFORMATION.
