Abstract: APPARATUS FOR SHAKING FISH FREE FROM GILLNETS, LONGLINES AND SIMILAR FISH CAPTURING MEANS                     ABSTRACT         Apparatus for shaking fish free from gillnets, longlines and similar fish capturing means as such fish capturing means are hauled aboard a fishing vessel so as to disentangle fish individually snared on such fish capturing means and to permit such freed fish to fall into the hold of the fishing vessel or into other suitable fish collecting and/or processing means. More specifically, the present invention pertains to simple, compact, rugged apparatus having a minimum number of movable parts, yet which is capable of imparting violent shaking motion to fish capturing means as such means are drawn aboard a fishing vessel. Because of the simple, compact construction of the shaking apparatus, it can be installed on a fishing vessel in a wide variety of positions to accommodate a wide range of operating conditions. for example, the shaking apparatus can be located on the deck of the fishing vessel and oriented transversely to a gillnet or the like so as to guide and spread the gillnet as it is hauled aboard the vessel for storage upon a winch drum or other suitable storage device. Alternatively, the shaking apparatus can be mounted on the vessel in general alignment with the direction of movement of the fishing net as it is hauled aboard; an arrangement which is particularly advantageous when working with deep nets--i.e., nets having a span from cork line to lead line of up to thirty feet, or more--since such an arrangement readily permits the net to be draped over the shaking apparatus as it is hauled aboard. Moreover, the shaking apparatus can be positioned on the vessel in such a manner as to permit the net to be shaken as it is hauled aboard to thereby disentangle a catch of fish, with the net then being immediately passed back overboard for further fishing operations rather than being stored on a winch drum or the like. The simple, compact nature of the apparatus readily permits the apparatus to be moved from one to another of the foregoing operational positions as operating requirements change. In the preferred forms of the invention, the shaking apparatus includes a convexly shaped support surface--e.g., a convex eye--so as to permit a gillnet or the like to be shaken while it is maintained in a spread convex configuration, whereby fish caught by the gills on the upper surface of the convex net are shaken loose and are free to slide laterally over the downwardly sloping edges of the net and into the hold or other fish collecting and/or processing means on or in the vessel. The various alternative forms of the invention readily permit of either a simple, substantially vibration-free, up-and-down shaking motion or, alternatively, a more complex shaking motion wherein the fishnet is simultaneously oscillated from side-to-side and reciprocated up-and-down.

Abstract: MICROCONTROLLER FOR DISK FILES                            Abstract A microcontroller for controlling the bidirectional transfer of data between a control unit and a plurality of disk drives is disclosed.  The microcontroller has a fixed machine cycle time for executing each instruction and is arranged to fetch the next instruction during the execution of the current instruction.       The microinstructions are stored in an addressable memory and each addressed instruction is transferred to a control subsystem in response to the operation of a second subsystem whose function is to generate the address of the next instruction to be executed. A third subsystem is provided for executing the instructions which is also employed during branch type of instructions for assisting the second subsystem in generating the next address.       The second subsystem also functions to supply the third subsystem during execution of certain instructions, data to be stored for use during subsequent instructions.       The subsystem for executing instructions is characterized by a plurality of data sources which are selectively interconnected through the ALU to the ALU register during the input phase of a machine cycle and a plurality of data destinations which are selectively connected to the output of the ALU register during the output phase of a machine cycle.  One of these destinations is the subsystem for fetching the next instruction.       The subsystem for fetching the next instruction is characterized by a plurality of partial address generators which operate selectively with the other subsystem to generate the complete address of the next instruction.       The controller also employs a multilevel priority trap system for interrupting the normal sequencing of instructions in response to events occurring in the devices being controlled or events within the microprocessor.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A multiprocessor system the kind in which two or more separate processor modules are interconnected for parallel processing includes two redundant interprocessor buses dedicated exclusively to interprocessor communication.  Any processor module may send information to any other processor module by either bus.  The buses are shared in use by the processor modules on a time-sharing basis.  Use of each bus is controlled by a special bus controller.  The multiprocessor system includes an input/output system having multi-port device controllers and input/output buses connecting each device controller for access by the input/output channels of at least two different processor modules.  Each device controller includes logic which insures that only one port is selected for access at a time.  The multi-processor system includes a distributed power supply system which insures uninterrupted operation of the remainder of the multi-processor system in the event of a failure of a power supply for a part of the system.  The distributed power supply system includes a separate power supply for each processor module and two separate power supplies for each device controller.  Either one of the two power supplies provides the entire power for the device controller in the event the other power supply fails.          The distributed power supply system permits any processor module or device controller to be powered down so that on-line mainten-ance can be performed in a power-off condition while the rest of the multiprocessor system is on-line and functional.  The multiprocessor system includes a memory system in which the memory of each processor module is divided into four logical address areas -- user data, system data, user code and system code.  The memory system includes a map which translates logical addresses to physical addresses and which coacts with the multiprocessor system to bring pages from secondary memory into primary main memory as required to implement a virtual memory system.  The map also provides a protection function.  It provides inherent protection among users in a multiprogramming environment, isolates programs from data and protects system programs from the actions of user programs.  The map also provides a reference history information for each logical page as an aid to efficient memory management by the operating system.          The multiprocessor system includes in the memory of each processor module an error detection and correction system which detects all single bit and double bit errors and which corrects all single bit errors in semiconductor memory storage.
