Generating arbitrary varying-amplitude step-wave using distributor having separate channel individual to each successive step

Claim 1

A STATIC COMMUTATOR FOR SEQUENTIALLY COUPLING INFORMATION SIGNALS INDIVIDUALLY TO A COMMON CIRCUIT COMPRISING: A PLURALITY OF BINARY CIRCUITS HAVING FIRST AND SECOND STABLE STATES; A SOURCE OF PULSES HAVING AN OUTPUT COUPLED TO EACH OF SAID BINARY CIRCUITS; INTERCONNECTING MEANS FOR SAID BINARY CIRCUITS FOR PROGRESSIVELY PLACING SAID BINARY CIRCUITS EXCLUSIVELY IN SAID FIRST STABLE STATE IN RESPONSE TO PULSES FROM SAID SOURCES, RESISTANCE MEANS CONNECTED ACROSS THE OUTPUT OF EACH OF SAID BINARY CIRCUITS; A PLURALITY OF BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR SWITCHES, EACH BIPOLAR SWITCH INCLUDING A PAIR OF TRANSISTORS HAVING BASE ELECTRODES CONNECTED TO ONE POINT ON SAID RESISTANCE MEANS AND COLLECTOR ELECTRODES CONNECTED TO ANOTHER POINT ON SAID RESISTANCE MEANS, EACH OF SAID TRANSISTORS HAVING AN EMITTER ELECTRODE, THE EMITTER ELECTRODE OF ONE TRANSISTOR IN EACH PAIR BEING CONNECTED TO THE COMMON CIRCUIT; AND MEANS FOR APPLYING INFORMATION SIGNALS TO THE EMITTER ELECTRODES OF THE REMAINING TRANSISTORS IN SAID BIPOLAR SWITCHES, WHEREBY THE INFORMATION SIGNALS PASSED BY SAID BIPOLAR SWITCHES ARE APPLIED TO SAID COMMON CIRCUIT.
