The present invention impresses the data on the power signal by utilizing a saturable core reactor. The saturable core reactor uses two cores. Each core has both load windings and control windings. The control windings are selectively energized to alter an electrical characteristic of the current passing through the load windings. The saturable core reactor is designed with cores made of a highly magnetically permeable material so that the cores are easily saturated. The cyclical saturation of the cores achieved by the load current, and the selective saturation of the cores achieved by selectively applying a control current, results in "deformations" being selectively formed at the zero crossings of the load current waveform. These "deformations" can be selectively formed on the power signal to represent a binary data stream. Once the series of "deformations" is impressed onto the power signal, the "deformations" are communicated from one point on the power cable to another point on the power cable together with the power signal. The "deformations" are then read and transformed into a binary data stream. Thus, the power cable is converted from a mere power cable to a power cable capable of transmitting both power and data simultaneously.
A method and system for communicating information between subscribers over power transmission lines which normally convey electrical power to a plurality of diverse electrical sites for providing electrical power to electrical devices disposed at these diverse electrical sites. The subscribers on the communication network are located at these electrical sites. The electrical power conveyed over the power transmission lines is in the form of electromagnetic radiation which has an electrical field component and an associated magnetic field component. The information, such as telephonic voice communication or other data, is transmitted in the magnetic field component of the electromagnetic radiation carried over the power transmission line, such as by exciting the field with a MASER, in order to enable communication between the subscribers at the various electrical sites. The MASER provides an inverted atomic population by pumping directly, through a Q-switch and a synthetic aperture lens, into the atomic population of the electromagnetic wave carried over the power transmission line to produce acoustic wave oscillation at the appropriate atomic transition frequency. The MASER output is transmitted within the existing magnetic flux envelope created by the magnetic field of the electromagnetic radiation carried over the power transmission line and the power transmission line acts as a magnetic waveguide for the coherent magnetic frame emissions from the MASER. Inductive coupling is used to receive the transmitted information.
A power supply line of a communications interface provides communication between two devices when one device is unable to utilize the communications interface in a standard manner. The power supply line is specified to operate within a first voltage range and normally operates at a first voltage within a second voltage range, the second voltage range being within the first voltage range. A voltage circuit changes the power supply line to a second voltage outside of the second voltage range but within the first voltage range. A voltage detecting circuit coupled to the power supply line asserts a signal indicating when the second voltage is present on the power supply line, thereby providing communication between the first device and the other device.

An armature (11) for a miniature DC motor constitutes a rotor provided in an interior of a casing and armature windings (10) are wound around an iron core (9) in the form of a coil. In this armature (11), insulators (25, 26) made of paper including at least ordinary paper and having an electric insulation property adhere to at least portions, of both end faces of the iron core (9), on which the armature windings are wound. Thus, the iron core and the armature windings do not come into direct contact with each other.
The present invention relates to magnetic field based power transmission line communication interface controller for subscriber's terminal to receive voice, data and other kinds of electrical signals converted from acoustic wave that is conveyed over the PAN communication network, or to transmit information from the subscriber's terminal to designated destination over the PAN communication network. The interface controller of the present invention is characterized by pumping acoustic wave into the microwave within the magnetic flux envelope generated along the magnetic field based power transmission line(PAN).
