A data display system has separate channels for data and commands from a processor for different display units. Data is multiplexed from the channels to common storage and gated therefrom to the display units in corresponding sequence. Individual storage for commands from each channel enables commands for one channel to be received while the preceding channel is being displayed.

An improved recirculating memory emulates a sonic or a glass delay line unit by providing a recirculating device and data item location addressing means.

In the analysis of data in the form of a peaked or humped curve such as a curve of Lorentzian or Gaussian shape, where it is desired to obtain a value representing the true area under the curve, eliminating distortion that may be present, a measurement is made of the area only between the peak value and a value representing a predetermined fraction of that peak; this can be done by scanning the curve, detecting the peak, starting the integration, then stopping it when the curve value has fallen ...

A MOS data processor fabricated on a single MOS semiconductor chip. The logic, arithmetic and storage functions are fabricated on one semiconductor chip.

Characters presented by a rotary head of a data recording machine (e.g. an embossing machine) are sequentially located at an index position accordingly as related selectors are moved to a set or actuated position to arrest motion of an indexing clutch which itself, when arrested, is effective to stop the rotary head at index position.

A data processing system in which a plurality of data channels control the simultaneous exchange of data between many input/output devices, and a common shared storage. The channels automatically extract control instructions from storage and interpret them to independently carry out data transfers. Each data channel is initialized by the central processing unit (CPU) which causes a control word to be transferred from storage to the data channel where it is stored. The data channel utilizes the c...

A data receiver for polling, receiving and processing data from a plurality of measuring transducers through a communication system. The receiver being capable of receiving data in a plurality of different signaling modes, processing the received data, and storing the processed data. Means for synchronizing the various signal modes and parity checking the accuracy and validity of the received data. Processing circuitry for handling both serially oriented data and parallel data. An electrically i...

A flat rectangular container having front and rear walls which are flat, parallel and spaced from each other. A partition wall is disposed between and spaced from the front and rear walls and all three of these walls are held in spaced relationship by a peripheral member which extends along three edges of the front, rear and partition walls, thereby leaving one end of the container open. The front and rear walls have apertures therethrough which are alignable with preidentified locations upon a ...

A data processor comprising an information input area, an information carrier-reception area and an information representation area arranged one above the other on a vertical line running parallel to the vertical body axis of an operator situated in front of the machine.

A visual data handling system incorporating a visual display device to provide an illuminated display of data. A print-through device utilizing a matrix of light conducting elements transfers the illuminated display of data to a light responsive type printer. This illumination transfer can be selectively interrupted by a turn-off mechanism, which does this by maneuvering the print-through device. Also, the light conducting elements can incorporate lasing devices to intensify the illumination.
