A special purpose computor (it is described as being suitable for air traffic control) comprises a current data store, a subroutine unit with semipermanent matrix store in which are kept a series of subroutines selected by a counter and read out to a four-part register in sequence (jumps being possible) at 40 Ásec. intervals, and a somewhat similar sequence unit, used for filling the data store, selecting subroutines and controlling the read-in and -out of data from and to an external system. The semi-permanent stores each consist of a two-dimensional array of magnetic cores with means for disposing an array of permanent magnets alongside, so that on read out of a row the data word is automatically rewritten. An order from the subroutine matrix specifies the operation (e.g. "enter in accumulator", "add to accumulator", "jump") and routing of the data, and the address in the current register concerned, or if the address is to depend on the contents of other registers it is obtained from an "address route" section. The sequence unit can call up data from the external store to the current store, or to a supervisory register where it may control the initiation of an appropriate subroutine, and after completion of one or more subroutines (as specified by the sequence unit) data may be routed out to the external system.

Filed: 1931-11-14
Abstract: 389,181. Electrically controlling oil burners. GILBERT & BARKER MANUFACTURING CO., Cold Springs Avenue, West Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Nov. 14, 1931, No. 31602. Convention date, Nov. 28, 1930. [Classes 75 (i) and 75 (iii).] In an electric control system for oil burners having an oil spraying device an electrical ignition device comprising spark electrodes, is continuously in action while oil is being supplied, but the relatively heavy current during the starting period is automatically reduced after ignition is effected. The ignition device comprises spark electrodes 5 adapted, on the starting of the oil flow, to be fed by the secondary coils of transformers 9, 10 connected in parallel. This produces the comparatively heavy current required for vaporizing and igniting the fuel, but after ignition the electrodes are fed by the transformer 10 only, the smaller current thus obtained being sufficient to anchor the flame to the burner nozzle and keep the electrodes clean. The starting of the burner is controlled by a thermostat 15 adapted to close a low voltage circuit supplied by the secondary 17 of a transformer connected across supply mains 18, 19. On the closing of this circuit, solenoids 20 and 33 operate switches 14 and 41, the former closing a circuit from the supply mains through the primary of the transformer 10 and also through a motor 13 controlling the oil flow to the burner, and the latter, through the primary of the transformer 9. Interposed in the lead to the solenoid 33 is a time limit switch adapted to break the circuit and thus open the switch 41 after the starting of the burner. As shown, the time limit switch consists of a bimetallic thermostat 35 subject to the heat from a coil 38 which is energized simultaneously with the solenoids. Alternatively the time limit switch may be a thermostat responding to the temperature of a furnace in which the burner is situated.

As described the computer 1 sends the image data in parallel (24 bits) runlength coding form (i.e. in words designating alternately white and black lengths of line for the line scans) to the converter which stores the words and counts down the lengths while providing a "white" or "black" output to the facsimile receiver 3. The arrangement may also (when, as shown, the unit 3 is a photographic facsimile receiver) comprise an additional receiver 5 to provide a directly visible display, and a facsimile transmitter 7 synchronized with the receiver 3 for superposition of an image therefrom on the data from computer 1. The specification describes arrangements by which the run-length words (see Fig. 3, channel 1) are stored, counted down and demanded from the computer by converter 2, and the optional facility of receiving direct bit-by-bit bright-up instruction words (Fig. 3, channel 2) (about 1000 words per scan line) in addition to the run-length coded words for superposition therewith; thus enabling a variety of captioning, and pattern generating. Two buffer stores are provided in the computer for each of channels 1 and 2, thus enabling one to be filled while data from the other is being transmitted to the converter. An embodiment for colour reproduction in which three facsimile receivers each producing a colour image are operated in succession is shown schematically (Fig. 5, not shown).
