Title: Data storage and transmission system using authentication codes and parity
Inventor: LAUMULIN CHOKAN
IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2008-10-20
Abstract: A method of storing or transmitting data comprises separating the data, such as a web page, into a plurality of data subsets. Parity data is then generated from the plurality of data subsets (e.g. using XOR) such that any one or more of the plurality of data subsets may be recreated from the remaining data subsets and the parity data. These steps are then repeated on any one or more of the plurality of data subsets and parity data providing further data subsets and further parity data. A function, e.g. a hash such as a checksum, can then be applied to any one or more of the data subsets and parity data to generate one or more associated authentication codes. Each of the further data subsets and further parity data and associated authentication codes are stored in separate storage locations or transmitted. This system ensures that if data on a particular device is lost, it may be recreated from the data sets stored in separate locations.

Title: Electron discharge device
IPC: H01J21/20
Filed: 1929-04-02
Abstract: 308,978. Loewe-Radio Ges., and Romhild, E. March 30, 1928, [Convention date]. Vacuum tubes.-A valve has several complete electrode systems in a common vacuum and the anodes are connected together successively around the periphery of, and so form, a ring or cylinder. Each anode may enclose a spiral grid around a single filament or mav enclose parallel filaments which are connected in parallel and a grid consisting of parallel strips lying in the same plane as the filaments. As shown in Fig. 10, two filaments 2, 3 are connected at their lower ends to a bridge 13 and at their upper ends to copper springs 18. The grid consists of bands 4, 5, 6 secured to bridges 11, 12. The lower ends of the filaments are arranged in grooves in the bridge 12 so that the grid and filaments may lie in the same plane. A frame consisting of wires 15 and a cross-piece 17 supports the springs 18. The lower ends of the supports for the electrodes are sealed into a glass rod 25. The anodes may be formed by dividing up the space between two cylinders, for example of circular or hexagonal section, by radial partitions so as to form a number of chambers. To heat the anodes uniformly in freeing the electrodes of occluded gases, high-frequency induction and electron-bombardment are used simultaneously but only induction is used when, as in Fig. 3, anodes b - - e are formed by welding bent sheets to alternate sides of a cylinder a<1> of octagonal cross-section. The grids and anodes for such a multiple valve used as a power amplifier are connected in parallel respectively, and the filaments may have separate leads or be connected in parallel in sets. Components, such as an anode resistance, and grid condenser and leak, may be mounted in the same envelope. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also valves in which there is a single electrode system, an oval anode surrounding the grid-filament structure of Fig. 10, and in which the central grid-band is wider than the other bands. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electronic control circuits employing multi-cathode gas-filled tubes
Inventor: TOWNSEND RALPH
IPC: G06F9/32
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: 806,041. Digital electric calculating-apparatus. BRITISH TABULATING MACHINE CO. Ltd. April 7, 1955, No. 10236/55. Class 106 (1). Electronic control apparatus comprises one or more multi-cathode gas-filled tubes, driving means operable by input pulses to step a discharge along the cathodes of the or each tube in a predetermined sequence determined by the structure of the tube, a jump circuit operable under joint control of input pulses and the voltage of a first cathode to step the discharge from the first cathode to a second cathode not next in sequence, and at least two electrical contol switches controlled by the voltages on the first and second cathodes. The computer programme-sequence-control circuit shown is similar to the counter described in Specification 806,042 and comprises two dekatron-type tubes 1, 2 having a common anode circuit such that a discharge can exist in only one tube at a time, and a driving circuit 7 to which stepping " operation complete " pulses are applied over line 6 from an arithmetic unit 45 (not described in detail). The normal stepping sequence is modified by connecting predetermined cathodes by plug wires to jump circuits 18, 32 and 58 which function only when plug-hubs 50, 51 and 60 respectively are connected to earth potential. By connecting these hubs to hubs 54 (as for circuit 32, as shown), instead of hubs 52 (circuits 18, 58) connected directly to earth line 123, the circuits are made conditional on the output on line 53 from the arithmetic unit. With the plug connections shown, a discharge on the " 7 " cathode 12 will be stepped in normal manner to " 8 " cathode 46 and will then be transferred, by jump circuit 18, to " 15 " cathode 47. When the discharge reaches the " 17 " cathode 48 it will be transferred by circuit 32 to the " 6 " cathode 49, the sequence 6-8, 15-17 then being repeated so long as a " repeat " earth potential is applied to line 53. When repetition is no longer required, unit 32 is inhibited by a negative potential on line 53 whereby the discharge on cathode 48 is stepped on to " 20 " cathode 56 and then returned to cathode 12 by circuit 58. Each operation of unit 45 is controlled by a coincidence gate such as 61-63 which may be plug wired to one or more cathodes as shown. When a gate is conditioned by the discharge on a cathode, it provides a control output on line 69 in response to a pulse from generator 66 which also controls unit 45. The gates 61-63 may, e.g., control printing results, adding and right shift respectively. Circuit details are given of the driving circuit, jump circuit and gates.
