Abstract

An electrical appliance (16) in which a power line adapter (24) is embodied. Information signals are conducted bidirectionally between the power line (10) and appliance (16), along the same connection (56) that provides power to the appliance (16).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 24 April 1998 (24.04.98); original claim 5 amended; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)]
(b) information signal receiving means for conducting information signals from a power line to said second appliance; a second power line connector for connecting: (a) said power supply of said second appliance, (b) said power supply of said second power line adapter, and (c) said information signal receiving means to a power line; and means for preventing information signals from a power line from being conducted directly from a power line to said second appliance along said second power line connector. 5. (Amended) An electrical appliance for supplying information signals to a power line comprising: a source of infoπnation signals having a power supply; a power line adapter unit having: (a) a power supply, and (b) information signal transmitting means for conducting information signals from said source of information signals to a power line; a power line connector for connecting: (a) said power supply of said source of information signals, (b) said power supply of said power line adapter unit, and (c) said information signal transmitting means to power line; and means for preventing information signals from said information signal transmitting means from being conducted to said source of infoπnation signals along said power line connector.
