1920 December 21, Charles White, Carrier-wave Signaling System, US Patent 1,480,235 (PDF version), page 1, column 1:

This invention relates to carrier wave signaling systems and more particularly to systems of multiplex telephony employing carrier waves wherein such carrier waves of distinctive frequencies are normally impressed upon the transmission medium. Such medium may comprise any of the natural media employed in radio transmission or a conductive transmission line of any kind.

Parameters

All parameters are optional except those marked "Mandatory", and may contain inline interwiki or external links as needed.

Parameter	Remarks
`1`	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) of the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If the language is other than English, the template will indicate this fact by displaying "(in [language])" (for one language), or "(in [language] and [language])" (for two languages), or "(in [language], [language] ... and [language])" (for three or more languages). The entry page will also be added to a category in the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations" for the first listed language (unless `termlang` is specified, in which case that language is used for the category, or `nocat` is specified, in which case the page will not be added to any category). The first listed language also determines the font to use and the appropriate transliteration to display, if the text is in a non-Latin script. Use `\|worklang=` to specify the language(s) that the overall patent is written in: see below.
`author` (or `inventor`) or `last` and `first`	Mandatory: the name of the author of the patent quoted. (The parameter `inventor` can be used as a synonym for `author`.) Use either `author`, or `last` and `first` (for the first name, and middle names or initials), not both. Additional authors can be added using the parameters `author2` to `author5`, or `last2` and `first2` to `last5` and `first5`.
`authorlink`	The name of an English Wikipedia article about the author, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using `author`, or `last` and `first`. Additional articles can be linked to other authors' names using the parameters `authorlink2` to `authorlink5`. Do not add the prefix "`:en:`" or "`w:`". Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: "`author=[[w:Kathleen Taylor (biologist)\|Kathleen Taylor]]`" or "`author={{w\|Thomas Edison}}`".
`title`	Mandatory: the title of the patent.
`patent`	Mandatory: the patent number.
`url`	The URL or web address of an online version of the patent, for example, on the Google website. If this is not specified, the template automatically links to an online version of the patent at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and a PDF version at Pat2pdf.org.
`patent_type`	If you have not used `url` to specify a URL to link to, you may use `patent_type` to indicate the type of document referred to, for example, "`patent_type=Patent Application`". If you do not use this parameter, "`Patent`" will be displayed.
`date` or `year`	Mandatory: the date or year when the patent was filed. Do not use the publication date of the patent, as the filing date indicates more accurately when the text of the patent was prepared. Use either `date`, or `year`, not both.
`page` or `pages`	The page number or range of page numbers of the patent on which the quotation appears. Use `page` to indicate a single page, and `pages` to indicate a range of pages. For example, "`pages=1–2`" will display "`pages 1–2`". Use an en dash to separate the page numbers in the range.
`pageurl`	The URL or web address of the webpage containing the page(s) of the patent referred to. The page number(s) will be linked to this webpage.
`column` or `columns`	The column number or range of column numbers of the patent. Use an en dash to separate the column numbers in the range.
`columnurl`	The URL or web address of the webpage containing the column(s) of the patent referred to. The column number(s) will be linked to this webpage.
`text` or `passage`	The portion of the patent being quoted. Highlight the term defined in bold in the quoted text like this: "`'''cyberspace'''`".
`worklang`	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the overall patent is written in, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages.
`termlang`	A language code indicating the language of the term being illustrated, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If specified, this language is the one used when adding the page to a category of the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations"; otherwise, the first listed language specified using `1` is used. Only specify this parameter if the language of the quotation is different from the term's language, e.g. a Middle English quotation used to illustrate a modern English term or an English definition of a Vietnamese term in a Vietnamese-English dictionary.
`nocat`	Use `nocat=y` or `nocat=1` or `nocat=on` to suppress adding the page to a category of the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations". This should not normally be done.
`brackets`	Use "`brackets=on`" to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
`t` or `translation`	If the quoted text is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of it.
`lit`	If the quoted text is not in English and the translation supplied using `t` or `translation` is idiomatic, this parameter can be used to provide a literal English translation.
`footer`	This parameter can be used to specify arbitrary text to insert in a separate line at the bottom, to specify a comment, footnote, etc.
`tr` or `transliteration`	If the quoted text uses a different writing system from the Latin alphabet (the usual alphabet used in English), this parameter can be used to provide a transliteration of it into the Latin alphabet. Note that many languages provide an automatic transliteration if this argument is not specified.
`subst`	Phonetic substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages with a non-Latin writing system and automatic transliteration (e.g. Russian and Yiddish). If specified, should be one or more substitution expressions separated by commas, where each substitution expression is of the form `FROM//TO` (`FROM/TO` is also accepted), where `FROM` specifies the source text in the source script (e.g. Cyrillic or Hebrew) and `TO` is the corresponding replacement text, also in the source script. The intent is to respell irregularly-pronounced words phonetically prior to transliteration, so that the transliteration reflects the pronunciation rather than the spelling. The substitutions are applied in order. Note that Lua patterns can be used in `FROM` and `TO` in lieu of literal text; see WT:LUA. See also `{{ux}}` for an example of using `subst` (the usage is identical to that template).
`indent`	Instead of using wikitext outside the quotation template to indent it (for example, "`#* {{quote-us-patent\|...`"), you can use this parameter to specify the indent inside the template (for example, "`{{quote-us-patent\|indent=#*\|...`")
