Title: Control of data input/output devices
IPC: G06F13/26
Filed: 1971-12-29
Abstract: 1365984 Data processing system INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 29 Dec 1971 [30 Dec 1970] 60297/71 Addition to 1363687 Heading G4A The parent Specification 1,363,687, for transferring data between a central processing unit 1 and I/O devices 200, 201 (Fig. 4) under the control of instruction words is modified in that the three-bit working device code which causes read out from an address code store 49 of a fivebit actual device code representing the I/O temporarily assigned to the three-bit working code is also fed to the I/O device and is stored in a register 168, 175 in the device to which the five-bit actual device code is assigned. Up to eight of the devices may store working device codes. When such a device requires servicing its work device code is read out to a decoder 172, 180 which selects one of eight interrupt request lines connected to a matrix 153 in the CPU 1. The matrix determines, during simultaneous interrupt requests, which of the devices is of highest priority to select the appropriate input/output address register 158. The matrix output is also applied to encoder 150 which transmits the working device code corresponding to the device with highest priority to all the devices, which are collected in a star configuration, for comparison with the code stored in the register 168, 175. The selected device pulses its control circuitry 171, 179 so that a data from its register 167, 174 is stored in memory 127 under the control of the address read out from register 158 or data from the central processor is read from the appropriate part of memory 127 to the data bus 139. In a modification (Fig. 5, not shown) in which six I/O devices having identical actual device codes are connected in tandem, an additional three-bit identifier code is transmitted and compared in a comparator (88) in the first device (82) with a code word, the additional transmitted code being permuted by a permuter (115) and the permuted code fed to the second device. This process is repeated for all six devices, the selected device receiving the zero code which results in the comparator in the selected device signalling the device sequence and control to indicate that its request is being serviced.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for automatically depositing predetermined reproducible amounts of nebulized samples into a furnace atomizer of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, a plurality of open-topped sample containers 8 containing samples to be analyzed are arranged on a sample container transporting device 4. A selected sample is aspirated from its container via means 29 and allowed to flow into a nebulizer-mixing chamber device 30 until such time that the nebulized sample achieves full equilibrium therein. The nebulized and now equilibrated sample is transferred from the chamber device through tube 43, tube 40 and nozzle 42 into the furnace atomizer. The deposition into the atomizer of predetermined and reproducible amounts of nebulized samples is controlled by a means which may comprise a vacuum source connected at 17 and in communication via line 45 and valve 18 with the tube 40. Aerosol deposition into the atomizer is effected only during the time period when the vacuum source is shut off from tube 40 by shutting valve 18. In another embodiment, the means for controlling the amount of nebulized sample being deposited comprises a fluidic switch in communication with the nebulizer-mixing chamber device 30 on the one hand and with nozzle 42 on the other. Sample deposition into the atomizer takes place only during the time period when such communication from the chamber device to nozzle 42 is effected by the fluidic switch. <IMAGE>
