In RINGER state, a(square-wave) ringer melody will be produced. The ringer melody has to be supplied to the ringer output stage... The ringer part contains the ringer detector, also named ringer discriminator, and melody generator. A ringer melody with 3 tones in sequence will be generated after detection and validation of the ringer signal... In parallel with resistor options read cycle and memory integrity check, the ringer detector checks the validation of the ringer signal conforming the ringer specification before a ringer melody will be generated. This is to detect a valid ringer signal as soon as possible. 1, record 3, English, - ringer%20melody

In cryptography we have various kinds of keys, including a User Key(the key which a user actually remembers), which may be the same as an Alias Key(the key for an alias file which relates correspondent names with their individual keys). We may also have an Individual Key(the key actually used for a particular correspondent) ;a Message Key(normally a random value which differs for each and every message) ;a Running Key(the confusion sequence in a stream cipher, normally produced by a random number generator) ;and perhaps other forms of key as well. 1, record 4, English, - message%20key
