Title: Data processing apparatus
IPC: G06F11/28
Filed: 1972-06-08
Abstract: 1382850 Digital computers: testing of ROM microprogram branching HONEYWELL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc 8 June 1972 [26 Aug 1971] 26878/72 Heading G4A A microprogram is stored in a read only memory (ROM) 100 and its branching capability is tested by a diagnostic program. An RIT flip-flop (Fig. 5, not shown) is set to modify the operation of the half (HLT) microinstruction. The HLT micro-instruction usually stops the computer clock but, when RIT is set, the clock is not stopped by HLT but is stopped by any other micro-instruction. RIT is set by three micro-instructions and, when any of these is executed to the predetermined location, they must branch to a location containing HLT. If there are no malfunctions in the micro-instructions the clock continues to run, otherwise the machine halts and an error is identified. Fig. 1 shows a programmable terminal but the program can be used in a full computer system. Parity checking of the micro-instructions in register 101 is mentioned.

Title: Ferroelectric condenser transfer circuit
IPC: H03K21/00
Filed: 1954-09-28
Abstract: 768,377. Electric digital data storage and counting. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Sept. 28, 1954 [Oct. 1, 1953], No. 27960/54. Class 106 (1). Apparatus for transferring information, such as a stepping register, comprises a plurality of two-state ferroelectric capacitors, first means for applying spaced read-out pulses to alternate capacitors, and second means for applying similar read-out pulses at intermediate times to the remaining capacitors, the transfer circuits between adjacent capacitors each including a diode biased so as not to pass pulses of less than a. predetermined magnitude. When used as a counter the capacitors are connected in a closed ring and at any time only one capacitor is in a state opposite from all the others. This condition is stepped round the ring under the control of the pulses to be counted. Alternate ferroelectric storage capacitors F1 to F4 are connected respectively to a. pair of lines A and B to which clock pulses, of a magnitude twice that of a threshold bias source E, are applied alternately. In a patternmovement stepping register positive binary- " one "-representing pulses of magnitude E are applied through a diode D at intervals between the positive pulses on line A, and each causes the first ferroelectric capacitor F1 to change to a binary " one " state of polarization. The next transfer pulse to appear on the conductor A, however, changes the capacitor F1 back to the binary " zero " state and passes the binary " one " condition on to the next storage capacitor F2. Due to the fact that a high capacity is presented, the voltage across capacitor F1 cannot change instantaneously and a voltage of 2E, less a small drop across F1, appears across a capacitor C1 which discharges through a diode D1 and causes a voltage to be developed which is sufficient to transfer the second ferroelectric capacitor F2 from the " zero " to the binary " one " state. At a subsequent interval an advance pulse appears on the conductor B and causes the binary " one " condition to pass on again from capacitor F2 to F3, and so on. In another embodiment a decimal counter or accumulator is formed by an arrangement of similar ferroelectric stages, only one of which in each order is in a binary " one " condition at any time. This condition is stepped on by alternating pulses derived from a flip-flop. An extra ferroelectric capacitor in each order is adapted to store the " carry " pulse until the carry period in the machine cycle. Specifications 717,104 and 735,750 are referred to.
