Abstract: A monolithic interface circuit for use with a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) position transducer includes a drive circuit for providing an excitation signal of selectable frequency and amplitude to the LVDT primary winding. The interface circuit further includes a decoder responsive to signals induced in the LVDT secondary windings for computing the position p of the LVDT core as a solution to the equation        p = K(A-B)/(A+B)         , where A and B represent the signals induced in the primary winding, and K is a constant scale factor. The decoder includes circuitry for rectifying (54,64) and filtering (56,66) the secondary signals (A,B), a charge balance loop (58,68,70,72,74) responsive to the detected signals for providing a binary signal having a duty cycle representative of        B/(A+B)         , and an output circuit (80,82,86,88,90,92,94) responsive to the binary signal for providing the position output. The decoder provides excellent scale factor stability and linearity and is relatively insensitive to variations in primary drive amplitude.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adapting a switch arranged to provide automatic call distributor (ACD) service from remote agent stations as well as local agent stations. The remote agent stations are served by a switch other than the switch serving the ACD. The remote agent stations are connected by a data connection for transmitting agent status information to the ACD switch. The data connection is terminated on a server system for maintaining agent status information for the remote agents. When the ACD requests an identity of an available remote agent station, that identity is supplied by the server system. Advantageously, the server system can be programmed to select among available remote agent's stations in accordance with the wishes of the ACD customer. Advantageously, this arrangement allows remote agents to serve ACD callers in essentially the same way as local agents serve these callers, thus, permitting the remote agent to work at different locations including, for example, their homes, while also permitting the owner of the ACD to take advantage of special characteristics or knowledge of selected remote agents.

Abstract: This invention highly accurately restores a received symbol sequence in a highly
efficient manner with a simple configuration. 
     In this invention, respective bits of an information bit sequence are inputted to a
cyclic register composed (SR) of the same number of registers as the number of bits of
the information bit sequence. Signals read from the cyclic register are processed to
generate a plurality of symbols. The processing is repeated each time the respective
bits of the information bit sequences are shifted to the next registers, until the respective
bits shift all over the registers for one cycle. All symbols generated by the process are
transmitted (4, 7) as a symbol sequence. Symbols of a received symbol sequence are
respectively inputted to a first register group composed of the same number of registers
as the number of symbols of the symbol sequence. Respective symbols in each of a
plurality of assumed symbol sequences, prepared in accordance with the number of bits
of the information bit sequence are inputted to a second register group composed of the
same number of registers as the number of registers in the first register group.
Respective output signals read from the respective registers in the first and second
register groups are processed to calculate correlation values, and the information bit
sequence is restored based on the assumed symbol sequence from which the largest
correlation value is derived.
