Title: Multiplier
IPC: G06F7/491
Filed: 1964-11-19
Abstract: 1,090,596. Electric digital calculators. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Nov. 19, 1964 [Dec. 18, 1963], No. 47174/64. Heading G4A. An electronic computer performs the multiplication of two multi-digit decimal numbers by complementing the partial product if the current multiplier digit and the preceding multiplier digit (of lower order) lie in different ones of the groups of digits 0-5, 6-9, the number of additions of the multiplicand being always less than six. The computer described operates with 10-character instruction words and 8-digit operands. Each instruction word includes two operation characters and two 4-digit memory addresses. A " multiply " instruction contains the addresses A 0 -A 3  of the least significant multiplicand digit and B 0 -B 3  of the least significant multiplier digit, these addresses being entered in A and A<SP>1</SP> registers and B and B<SP>1</SP> registers respectively of a "scratch-pad" memory 45. The B-register address is now incremented by eight in an adder 38, the result being entered in P and P<SP>1</SP> registers in the scratch pad memory 45 as the address of the least significant product digit. The multiplicand digits are now multiplied in turn by the lowest multiplier digit, this process being repeated for all the multiplier digits in turn. For each multiplier digit step, the multiplier digit is transferred to a register Mi, Fig. 2, and if the previous digit was greater than five as indicated by a flip-flop FF, being set, the current digit is incremented by unity. The states of the current multiplier digit group indicating flip-flop FF 1 , and the previous multiplier digit group indicating flip-flop FF 2  are compared in gates 73-75, and, if the digits are in different groups, a complementing circuit 60 is rendered active. The A<SP>1</SP> register in the scratch pad memory is now employed to access a multiplicand digit and transfer it to a register M c , Fig. 2, a partial product digit being transferred to a register PP. The multiplicand digit from the register M c  and partial product digit after complementation, if necessary, at 60, are added in an adder 62, the sum being stored in a memory address determined by the P<SP>1</SP> register in the scratch-pad memory 45. The multiplicand digit address in the A<SP>1</SP> register and partial product digit address in the P<SP>1</SP> register are now decremented by unity at 38. This process is repeated for all the multiplicand digits in turn. The multiplier digit is then decremented or incremented by unity according to the group 0-5, 6-9 in which it lies. Operation is continued until all the multiplier digits have been processed.

The compressor comprises, within a housing 2, a rotor 3 mounted on a shaft 4 driven by a motor 6; the rotor 3 having hollow vanes 7 each with slit-shaped orifices 9. In the compressor inlet 8 are located adjustable pre-rotation vanes 10 each of which has a respective gear 11 driven by a common ring gear 12. Either oil, or the liquid refrigerant itself, may be utilized to operate the fluid vane-type section of the compressor. If liquid refrigerant is used, a liquid reservoir 28 is connected directly with the condenser 17 via a duct 29 and a duct 16. In operation of the plant, the liquid supply duct 23 is closed by the valve 24 up to a certain predetermined load and the compressor operates as a conventional adiabatic centrifugal compressor, the head and the volume capacity being adjusted by the control device which controls the ring gear 12. Above that predetermined load the valve 24 is opened to a desired extent. Liquid then flows via line 23 to 26, and refrigerant gas to the compressor inlet at 22. The compressor then also operates as a fluid vane-type compressor, the head and volume capacity being adjusted by the valve 24.

A self-contained coin-freed mechanism 1 applied to the computer 3 of a liquid fuel delivery pump, comprises couplings for connection to the computer and pump, and coin advance mechanism associated with a coupling connected to a delivery valve of the pump and causing delivery of a quantity of fuel corresponding to the value of inserted coins, wherein an electric drive motor of the pump is energized on lifting the hose nozzle from its receiver, but the delivery valve is not opened until the computer is reset to zero, which can only occur when a coin has been inserted. In the apparatus shown, mechanical connections (not shown) between the coin mechanism 1 and computer unit 3 are established automatically when the mechanism 1 is mounted in position, whereby the computer is informed when a coin or coins is inserted. A first pump coupling 12 is connected at either end 17 or end 18 to the pump drive motor, and drives a coin receiving and advancing wheel 5, so that a coin 7, if present, will operate a lever 8. Coupling 12 also drives a shaft 24 through exposed gears 22, 23, so that a time limit (e.g. 5 or 6 minutes) after which the motor is stopped can be preset by choice of gears 22, 23. A second pump coupling 13 is connected to the delivery nozzle receiving hook, so as to be rotated when the nozzle is lifted, to move a third coupling lever 15 from OFF to the ON position, the lever being connected to the pump drive motor switch. A further coupling lever 16 is connected to, and operates, the fuel delivery valve. A manual-automatic selector 14 is provided.

Abstract: 1492947 Surface wave devices THOMSONCSF 1 Nov 1974 [2 Nov 1973] 47453/74 Heading H3U In a surface wave device, a refractive area is composed of a succession of elementary zones whose widths or mean widths are substantially equal so as to minimize the effects of attenuation in the refractive area. In a first embodiment, Fig. 2, refractive area 8 of substrate 2 has a sawtooth profile with curved flanks, and surface waves travel more slowly therein than elsewhere in the substrate so that area 8 functions as a convergent Fresnel lens. A divergent lens (Fig. 3, not shown) may be similarly provided; in a modification of this lens the surface wave velocity is higher in the refractive area and the lens is convergent. The elementary zones may be generally triangular (Fig. 4, not shown) and the refractive area may have a central lenticular portion (16). In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the refractive area is divided into an array of spaced Fresnel zones 17 whose spacing and width are selected to direct equiphasal waves towards a focus F 2 . The refractive areas may be formed by a deposited film, e.g. gold, or by ion-implantation.
