Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit connected to a telephone line, comprising: transmit means including output circuit connections to said telephone line; receive means including input circuit connections from said telephone line and pulse dialing means connected to said telephone line; said dialing means, receiving means and transmit means each including fixed resistance means of selected specific values; and said fixed resistance means in said dialing means, said receiving means and said transmit means shunting said telephone line and in combination forming a constant AC impedance to said telephone line.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit connected to a telephone line, comprising: transmit means including output circuit connections to said telephone line; receive means including input circuit connections from said telephone line and pulse dialing means connected to said telephone line; said dialing means, receiving means and transmit means each including fixed resistance means of selected specific values; and said fixed resistance means in said dialing means, said receiving means and said transmit means shunting said telephone line and in combination forming a constant AC impedance to said telephone line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said transmit means comprise an amplifier including an input connected to microphone and an output connected to said telephone line.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit as claimed in claim 2 wherein: said transmit amplifier includes a plurality of resistors which in combination with the fixed resistance means in said dialing means and in said receiving means form said constant impedance to said telephone line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit as claimed in claim 4 wherein: said receiver amplifier further includes a resistor which in combination with said fixed resistance means included in said dialing means and in said transmit means form a constant impedance to said telephone line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said pulse dialing means includes a resistor which in combination with said fixed resistance means included in said receiving means and in said transmit means form a constant impedance to said telephone line.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
A subscriber's telephone circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said transmit means include a transmit amplifier including a plurality of resistors; said receive means include a resistor and said pulse dialing means include a resistor, said resistors included in said transmit means, said receive means and said pulse dialing means in combination forming said constant impedance to said telephone line.
