A pipelined computer which executes high level language instructions is disclosed. The pipelined computer includes a memory for storing the high level language instructions therein. A plurality of microprogrammed digital computers are coupled in parallel to the memory, and are also intercoupled via an interlocking bus. The microprogrammed computers, in conjunction with the interlocking bus, form a pipeline for executing the high level language instructions. Each of the computers is a separately ...

A computer terminal is disclosed which may advantageously be employed as a video display terminal having editing capabilities. The terminal is a processor driven terminal having a common bus architecture. This includes a central processing unit CPU having its own internal instruction set together with facilities for operating under program control from an external memory, such as an EPROM. Data may be inputted by way of a keyboard or other peripheral, such as a host computer, for storage in a re...

This computer device provides a system for selecting the winners of both horse and dog races, and it consists primarily of a stationary card, having a circular area, in which is imprinted the weights of the horses and dogs, as indicated on track programs. It further includes a rotatable disc, with openings to view the weights of horses and dogs, and the program "odds" are imprinted alongside of each of the openings, the bet selection being the lesser sum of the addition of each of the weights of...

The present invention discloses a device which will automatically display the metric equivalents and their appropriate dimensional designations of any given metric measurement. In the preferred embodiments shown, the device may be either an electronic keyboard-display console apparatus or a mechanical device using printed rolls.

A digital computer for guiding the flight of a ballistic missile through instrumentation of a Q Matrix. The computer may be described as being the digital counterpart of a mechanical differential analyzer in that it is made up of a number of appropriately interconnected integrators which generate the solution of the particular equation or set of equations being solved. An initial value of velocity-to-be-gained is inserted into the computer and then by means of accelerometer outputs, multipliers,...

A cooking computer for use with a deep fat fryer having a temperature sensing probe as disclosed herein. The temperature sensing probe feeds a signal to a microprocessor. The microprocessor provides internal cook cycle timers which are alterable by signals from the temperature probe to correspond to changes in the rate of cooking of a commestible. Up to 12 recipes, each of which include a cooking time and a temperature compensation, can be stored in an EAROM. Cooking times and time compensation ...

A terminal device is disclosed which includes a typewriter and a keyboard in which the actuation of each key generates a signal in a first code which signal is temporarily stored. Also included is a code converter which translates the signal into a second code suitable for actuating the typewriter so as to print a character, corresponding to each actuated key, in a first location. Provision is also made for typewriting a message from a remote computer in a second location.

The computer has a plastic surface of a type which will receive easily eraseable pencil marks. A T-square having a hairline aligned with a slot in the T-square is used for plotting two intersecting lines, which completely defines a right triangle with regard to length of the hypotenuse and the angle the hypotenuse makes with the adjacent horizontal leg of the triangle. Two important advantages which result from this combination are (1) the high degree of accuracy achieved by defining a point wit...

A system for accurately determining the velocity of a liquid relative to a pair of transducers disposed therein by exciting the transducers to inject acoustic signals into the liquid and measuring the time required for the signals to travel between the transducers to generate elapsed time signals is disclosed. From these elapsed time signals the velocity of the liquid relative to the transducers is calculated and from the velocity and the cross sectional area of the channel through which the liq...

1. A fluid fuze comprising: A. a fluid detector, B. a pure fluid computer, said computer having an input connected to said uid detector and an output, C. said pure fluid computer including a bi-stable fluid amplifier and at least one pulse converter, and D. a fluid utilization device connected to an output of said pure fluid computer.
