A system for controlling a subsea device comprises a complimentary set of data communication interfaces operatively coupled to an electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller via a power conductor which defined data pathway between the subsea device and the remotely disposed device controller. A data transceiver is operatively coupled to the electronically interrogatable component and the remotely disposed device controller via the complimentary set of data communication interfaces over the power conductor. In configurations, control and/or telemetry or other data may be unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally transmitted between the electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller. In configurations, data faults may be monitored in a primary data path and, if a fault detected, control and/or telemetry or other data transmission switched to the power conductor data pathway, manually and/or automatically. |

A receive attenuation system for a trainline communication system utilizing an intra-consist electrical cable has an analog front end amplifier, a trainline communication processor, an adjustable attenuator, and a gain controller. The trainline communication processor is configured to generate a receive gain control signal configured to control receive gain of the analog front end amplifier. The adjustable attenuator is capable of being coupled to the intra-consist electrical cable and configured to variably attenuate signals received from the intra-consist electrical cable before transmitting the signals to the analog front end amplifier. The gain controller is coupled to the adjustable attenuator and configured to detect the receive gain control signal generated by the trainline communication processor, determine a supplemental attenuation control value based on the detected receive gain control signal, and control the adjustable attenuator according to the supplemental attenuation control signal. |

An apparatus is disclosed for coupling digital signals across a rotary mechanical gap as, for example, in a helical scan optical or magnetic tape recording/playback system where it is required to couple digital signals having a wide range of pulse widths between the stationary portion of the system and the rotating headwheel. The apparatus includes a rotary transformer comprising inductively-coupled first and second coils located, respectively, in the stationary and rotating portions. A capacitor positioned between the signal source and the primary winding of the rotary transformer converts the pulsed digital signals from the source into signals of changing current so that pulses of variable widths are efficiently coupled through the transformer. In this way, digital pulses having width ratios of approximately five-to-one can be transmitted across the gap. |

A transponder system with ensured synchronization for a railway signalling system, comprising an interrogating station, from which an interrogation signal is transmitted continuously, and a responder station which is energized in response to the interrogation signal and repeatedly retransmits a coded information reply signal to the interrogating station; synchronization is achieved, by starting each information transmission by means of a predetermined start signal generated in the interrogating station as a result of a predetermined bit sequence retransmitted from the responder station. In normal operation the bit sequence is generated immediately after the retransmission of a message or word and indicates the end of this message. At the start of operation when initially the inquiry station and reply unit have bad coupling to each other, the predetermined bit sequence is generated when the amplitude of the interrogating signal received in the responder station exceeds a certain threshold level for starting-up the system. |
