Abstract:
Apparatus performs various modal interval computations, while accounting for various modal interval operand configurations that are not amenable to ordinary computational operations. Upon detecting an exponent field of all 1's, the apparatus adapts various conventions involving leading bits in the fraction field of the modal interval endpoints to return a result having a useful meaning.

Claim (Index 1):
Apparatus for calculating a first result modal interval dependent on a first modal interval, each said modal interval defined by first and second endpoints each comprising sign, fraction and exponent bit fields, said apparatus comprising:\n a) a first operand register for holding the first and second endpoints of the first modal interval, and for providing a first operand signal specifying the contents of the first modal interval endpoints' fields; b) a first analysis element for receiving the first operand signal, for creating a first truth table for the first endpoint and a second truth table for the second endpoint, each truth table including a sign bit (S) indicating the sign of the respective endpoint, a not-a-number bit (N) indicating whether the respective endpoint is Not-a-Number, an infinity bit (I) indicating whether the respective endpoint is infinity and a zero bit (Z) indicating whether the respective endpoint is zero; c) a first logic array for determining a classification from the first and second truth tables, the classification including an empty bit (E) and, optionally, a tracking decoration (T), wherein:\n when the first and second truth tables indicate that the first and second endpoints have the same sign and a value of infinity, the empty bit is 1 and the tracking decoration indicates an empty or non-empty restriction; \n when the first and second truth tables indicate that one of the first and second endpoints are not-a-number, the empty bit is 1 and the tracking decoration is the NaN decoration field from the not-a-number endpoint; \n when the first and second truth tables indicate that both of the first and second endpoints are not-a-number, the empty bit is 1 and the tracking decoration indicates an empty input restriction; \n otherwise the empty bit is 0 and the tracking decoration is not used; and, \n d) providing a result signal encoding the first result modal interval wherein: when the empty bit is 1, the first result modal interval is the first modal interval; and when the empty bit is 0, the first result modal interval is a result of a computation by a first computational element receiving the first operand signal and the first and second truth tables.
