Abstract: To an increasing extent in subscriber equipment, device combinations, usually comprising a telephone set, answering machine, facsimile machine, cordless telephone etc., are connected to the main subscriber line. As studies have shown, it should also be possible in future device combinations to convey a message from the temporarily absent subscriber to a calling subscriber. The circuit costs and other expenditure required for this purpose are essentially determined by the read/write memory used. To ensure that the user, while retaining his customary mode of operation, for example his manner and speed of speaking, can input messages for a calling subscriber in a serial read/write memory, the size of the memory areas can be varied according to the length of the messages to be stored within fixed limits predefined by the control device in such a way that the occupied physical memory areas are connected to one another in seamless fashion. Furthermore, a forward-backward counter is connected to the read/write memory and to the control device, which counts backwards during the writing operation and forwards during the reading operation, while the respective counter reading is shown on a segment or matrix display. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A combined range laser scanner and method for electro-optically reading indicia such as bar codes having parts of different light reflectivity which utilizes two laser diode optical illumination systems optimally focused for different working ranges. A first laser illumination system is optimized for contact operation and has a range extending to approximately two feet. The second laser illumination system is optimized for longer range scanning from approximately two to seventeen feet, and the two laser scanning systems are integrated into one combined range laser scanner. The combined range laser scanner incorporates therein logic circuitry which enables either laser illumination system as required fro the particular scanning application. Depending upon which laser illumination system is selected, the laser spot speed (e.g. amplitude of the drive signal for the scanning motor) is controlled to limit the frequency of received light signals to that of standard signal processing and decoding circuits. Scanning is achieved with a common oscillating mirror element driven by a scanning motor, and the amplitude of the applied scanning motor driving signal is greater for the first laser illumination system optimized for contact or short range operation and less for the second laser illumination system for longer range scanning. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A ring network, the ring nodes of which are constructed as add-and-drop multiplexers is formed by means of purely optical components. On the optical fibre lines connecting the ring nodes, optical signals are transmitted in wavelength division multiplex. In a ring node, the optical signals are conducted wavelength-individually in individual waveguides and can be optionally switched through or inserted or extracted. In addition to the operating ring, a monitoring ring is provided with opposite direction of transmission. In the case of interruption of the optical fibre lines between two ring nodes, a stand-by ring can be switched via the monitoring ring. A further development of the ring network relates to a doubling of the facilities within a ring node. In the case of an interruption within the ring node, a redundant path is available for an affected signal having a given wavelength. <IMAGE>
