Title: Time-shared assignment system
IPC: G06F13/22
Filed: 1974-03-06
Abstract: 1468966 Electric selective signalling TAKACHIHO KOEKI KK 6 March 1974 10042/74 Heading G4H Remote stations 201 ... 232 (e.g. character display units) are sequentially interrogated by a pulse train Po from a central station 100 to determine whether they need to be connected thereto. Po is accompanied by a start signal Ps, which resets a flip-flop 1 in each remote station, and a signal Le. In each station, flip-flop 1 co-operates with a gate 1 to remove the first pulse from Po and transmit the succeeding pulses to the next station, and with a gate 3 to clock a flip-flop 5 using the first received pulse of Po. If the station needs to be operatively connected to the central station, a signal at terminal Te enables a gate 6 with the aid of signal Le: the clock pulse from gate 3 then sets flip-flip 5 to provide a signal To and to render a transistor 7 conductive, thus grounding signal Le for the duration of the pulse from gate 3. Thus each remote station is assigned a time slot corresponding to its position in the sequence. Pulse Ps on a separate line may be replaced by one on the same line as Po but having a different width or polarity.
