Abstract: PROGRAMMABLE COMMUNICATIONS SUBSYSTEM A micro processor controlled user programmable communications multiplexer subsystem (herein referred to by the symbol PCS) capable of transmitting and receiving data on any one or more of 32 communications lines simultaneously. Each line may be dynamically assigned to a variety of communication characteristics, such as line speeds, character lengths, synchronous, or asynchronous operation, and code structures as well as protocol selections. The system of the invention provides the capability for the user to write his communications programs using novel operations commands that provide code structure and protocol independence as well as communication line independence. Various hardware features and queuing techniques are employed in order to maintain high transmission rates. Variable line scanning in the Teleprocessing Time Division Multiplexer of the PCS is programmably permissible; i.e., the time base for line scanning is fixed and is a multiple of the communication line rate, although the actual line to be scanned is programmably variable. The program ability is provided by a continuously scanned storage array which contains physical line addresses of the time division multiplexer. The scanning mechanism, while running, prioritizes the transmit buffer servicing of the individual lines. BC9-77-00 DLM/TT25

Abstract: A digitizer tablet computer has a host processor connected to a service processor which, in turn, is connected to a digitizer controller and to a power subsystem microcontroller. A battery supplies the primary power for operating the computer but the computer is also connectable to an external source of DC power to charge the battery and to operate the computer when it is not running on battery power. The service processor includes a battery gauge the contents of which indicate how much power is left in the battery and how much time remains at the current rate of power consumption before the power runs out. The amount of remaining power in the gauge is determined by keeping track of power consumed, power added, and power lost during off periods. The use of the second derivative of a voltage versus time discharge curve creates a point from which relative accurate estimates can be made of how much longer the computer can be operated.

Abstract: The programmable communications multiplexer is capable of executing for each of a number of communications line ports a sequence of individualised functions for the ports from a sequence of generalised functions common to the ports. A control store stores in each of a number of locations logic selection address information and other control information and data for each port. Logic units execute the sequence of general functions and a scan table has a number of locations storing the addresses of the ports and the corresp. control store locations. A device includes a source of timing pulses and an address register for periodically reading out all of the addresses in the scan table in a selected sequence to periodically access the ports and the control store locations.
