Title: Modular computer system
IPC: G06F15/78
Filed: 1963-11-13
Abstract: 1,063,143. Digital electric computers. BURROUGHS CORPORATION. Nov. 13, 1963 [Nov. 30, 1962], No. 44732/63. Heading G4A. A computer system comprises a number of computer modules with scheduling means to assign jobs to them by reading from memory modules, via a switch interlock, blocks of instructions into rapid-access stores in the computer modules, the scheduling means also acting to connect input/output units (where appropriate) to selected memory modules. The word format is a flexible one based on a data word of 48 bits (plus parity) which may be fixed or floating point; instruction words are built up from 12-bit syllables so that one, two, or three-address type instruction may be employed, up to 7 syllables being possible to allow indexing of addresses of operands or branch instructions. Data transfer between modules is in series/parallel, 12 bits being transferred at a time. The computer modules each contain a main arithmetic unit, separate adders for indexing operations, an instruction decoder, and a thin film rapid access memory including a stack memory for intermediate calculation results, programme and index storage, and dump registers for interrupted programme data. The scheduling means operates on information stored in the main core memory describing the programmes to be run, their priority ratings, the addresses of associated data, their current state of execution (e.g. whether they are awaiting- input data) and their interrelationship with other programmes, and assigns work to available computer module on the basis of this information. It also controls the read-in to the main memory of needed information from back-up stores, allocating suitable space in memory, and inserts addresses of data already stored in memory as a result of calculations in other programmes, where this is required for further work. It loads the rapid access store of an allocated computer with the starting addresses of blocks of programme and data, and can interrupt a computer module where necessary to allocate a programme of higher priority (e.g. a real-time calculation). When modules become unservicable, it notes this and allocates work elsewhere accordingly. Other safeguards against failures causing a complete shut-down include the existence of a number of units each capable of acting as a master clock for the complete system, but arranged in such a way that all but one must be slaves at any time. A number of the units are described more fully in Specification 1,063,142 (Computer module) Specification 950,911 (Switch interlock) Specification 1,063,141 (Interrupt system) Specification 1,048,427 (Inputoutput control transposer), P103 (Power failure detector). The Specification describes the scheculing operations required in some detail, and illustrates the system, its modules, connections and components schematically.

Abstract: 1442371 Counting apparatus SANKYO SEIKI SEISAKUSHO KK 4 Oct 1973 [5 Oct 1972] 46354/73 Heading G4D For displaying a long sequence of digits, a counter has a first wheel 4 carrying part of the sequence inside a second wheel 5 carrying the rest of the sequence and having a window 5a through which the first wheel can be seen, the two wheels being coupled so that the two parts of the sequence are seen in succession. As shown the inner wheel 4 is driven from a lower stage of the counter by a transfer wheel 17 and teeth 22. Two long teeth (23a, 23b) on wheel 4 (Fig. 4, not shown) operate a further transfer wheel 29 which for each revolution of wheel 4 turns a part-gear 31 through a quarter turn. In the position shown the gear 31 holds wheel 5 against rotation and in a position where it is not engaged by a pinion 28. After one revolution of wheel 4 past the window 5a the transfer wheel 29 and gear 31 rotate wheel 5 to bring its teeth 24 into mesh with pinion 28. The two wheels 4, 5 then rotate together until the final digit on wheel 5 is reached. The transfer wheel 29 then again turns gear 31 which drives wheel 5 back to the position shown in which the window 5a is visible. The arrangement may provide the hours indications of a digital clock (Figs. 1, 2, not shown) (see Division G3).

Abstract: 1,240,855. Wired television systems. JERROLD ELECTRONICS CORP. 30 Sept., 1968 [28 Sept., 1967], No. 46383/68. Heading H4R. In a wired T.V. distribution system a modulating interrogation signal is applied to the channel signal to excite a response from a particular responder attached to a receiver tuned to that channel whereby the use made of the system can be ascertained. The responder 37 consists of a quartz crystal oscillator which is designed to emit a response signal when it receives an interrogation signal at its own frequency. The response signal may be at a different frequency to that of the interrogation signal. The transmitter includes a question signal generator 35 which produces an output signal whose frequency is determined by a plurality of crystals selected in turn by switch S1. The frequencies generated correspond to the responder frequencies installed in the system and each frequency may be transmitted exactly or included in a small range of transmitted frequencies. The output of generator 35 is applied to modulator 33 at times determined by circuits 32, 34 so that the video signal is only modulated towards the end of the vertical blanking period. The interrogation signals preferably are transmitted at each responder frequency on each channel in turn. The responding signals are returned to the distribution system through filter 38 and diverted to the receiving equipment by filter 39. They are recorded by recorder 41 which is also connected to generator 35 so that the particular responder can be identified. Clock 42 is included so that the system can be used to provide data for preparing accounts. With a plurality of transmitters all channels can be interrogated at different frequencies simultaneously.

[Also in Division E2] In a press for moulding foamed synthetic resin materials a lid 3 is lockable to a mould body portion 1 by levers 11 mounted on or above the lid and arranged to engage tie bars 13 secured to the body portion so that the lid can be held secure during moulding operations. As shown each tie bar 13 is pivoted to a bracket 24 on the body portion 1 and at its upper end the bar 13 enters a slot formed in a plate 23 secured to a guide 20 for the corresponding lever 11, the levers and guides being interconnected by pins and slots 21. The lever 11 can be slid in the guide 20 so that its end 12 engages a slot 13a in the bar 13. The end 14 of the lever has an adjustable connection 17 to a beam 15 vertically slidable in guides 18 under the action of hydraulic rams 16. The bars 13 are secured to a side 25 of the portion which carries counterweights 26, to facilitate pivoted movement of the side 25. By extending the rams 16 the levers 11 are withdrawn from the slots 13a and the lid 1 can be pivoted to remove the plate 23 from the upper end of the bar 13; the side 25 can then be pivoted down to facilitate the unloading of the moulded material. The mould can be lined with aluminium sheets and may be hollow to act as stream chambers, and the sheets may be perforated to permit passage of the stream to heat the material. The mould may be employed to mould blocks of foamed synthetic resin material such as foamed polystyrene. In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the mould body has a pivoted flap at one end and the other end is formed as a ram to eject moulded material. The levers are so connected with the beam that they can move horizontally during withdrawal from their connection with the tie bars.

The emitter electrode of one transistor is connected to the base electrode of the other, and dimensions are given for the length of the emitter perimeters and size of base zones. The semi-conductor material may be silicon, the zones being produced by diffusion or epitaxial growth. To remove deep level impurities such as gold and iron, the material may be heated in a region which is damaged or lapped or covered with acidic oxide glass so that it acts as a getter.
