    Abstract: A number of sound signals are recorded by pulse code modulation on a videodisc, each signal being separated from each adjacent signal by a unique subcarrier signal (Fm) recorded on a full turn of the disc. A number of sound signals are recorded on a single multiplex channel, each channel being identified by a channel signal Yn) and the channel signals being recorded in respective disc sectors between recorded synchronising signals (SY). The desired channel and subcarrier signal are selected for the required sound signal by respective selection switches. A reading head then rapidly radially scans the disc until the selected subcarrier is detected by a corresponding filter. Normal head reading then commences. A clock driven ring counter receives and is reset by the synchronising pulses and then passes the selected channel signals to a demodulator, the relevant ring counter output having been selected by the channel slection switch.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a variable coupler for optical fibers, which can also operate as a mixer. This variable coupler comprises an optical system which concentrates the divergent radiation issuing from the output orifice of a transmitter fiber, on the input orifice of a first receiver fiber, and optical means (flat mirror, prism, plate with parallel faces, for example) capable of performing a translatory motion, which make it possible to intercept a variable fraction of said radiation and direct it on to the input orifice of a second receiver fiber.
