    Abstract: A binary data storage system of a data processing system is comprised of electrically independent storage modules, each module comprised of a matrix of electrically independent storage devices, with each storage device being an integral circuit element comprised of a first matrix of binary storage cells and associated selection circuitry, and a second matrix of binary storage cells and associated selection circuitry. The design of the binary storage cell of the first matrix and associated selection circuitry is such that a large number of storage cells can occupy a unit space but provide relatively slow access to the binary data manifested by the cell. The second matrix of binary storage cells and associated selection circuitry is formed in such a way that a relatively small number of storage cells are provided with a relatively high speed of access to the binary data manifested in the storage cells. Each storage device has a single terminal for the transfer of a single binary bit to or from the storage device. Each of the previously mentioned storage modules also has a single terminal for the transfer of a single binary bit to or from the storage module. All of the terminals of the storage devices are connected in common to the terminal of a storage module. One storage module is provided for each binary bit of a data processing system binary data word to be transferred between the storage system and the central processing unit of the data processing system. The most recently accessed binary data will be manifested in the high speed storage cells of the second matrix such that when address information is sent to the storage system, a large percentage of the requests for access to the storage system will find the data in the high speed portion of each of the storage devices providing an effective access time to the data in the storage system significantly faster than if the access to the data were required to be made to the storage cells of the first matrix.

    Abstract: A hierarchical memory for a data processing system which is comprised of a number of different independent storage modules and a main memory backing store. Each data handling element of the system has an independent storage module associated with it as a dedicated buffer. A larger high speed main storage is used as a backing store. Each data handling element presumes that any data it needs is located in its dedicated buffer. If the data is not in the dedicated buffer, the data handling element scans all the other buffers until the desired data is located.

    Abstract: This specification discloses a bubble domain memory in which data is arranged for immediacy of access in accordance with its last use. The memory comprises a plurality of parallel shift registers in which data can be accessed in parallel. In other words, each of the shift registers contains a bit of a page or word so that by the performance of one shifting operation all of the bits of the page or word can be accessed. Data in each shift register is arranged in its order of last use so that the access position K of a shift register having K bit positions contains the last bit of information used and the position K-1 preceding the access position K in the shift register contains the bit of data used just previously to the data in the access position K and so on. In these shift registers the shift positions are arranged in loops for shifting the data between the positions of the shift register. Two such loops are provided, one of the loops contains all the shift positions so that data in any position in the shift register can be shifted into the access position K of the register for reading or writing. The other loop contains all the positions of the shift register but the access position K. This second loop is for reordering the data in the shift register in order of last use after data has been shifted into the access position K for reading or writing by the first loop.

    Abstract: 1,152,166. Keyboard code generators. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 9 June, 1967 [15 June, 1966], No. 26661/67. Heading G4H. [Also in Division H4] A keysender comprises a column of liquid 3 and a switch member 4, each key being arranged, on actuation, to displace the liquid so that member 4 is moved a distance uniquely corresponding to the actuated key. In one embodiment, the liquid is mercury and member 4 is non-conductive. When a key is depressed, a resilient tube 2 is deformed to displace a corresponding volume of liquid, terminals A, B being short-circuited by bridging of contacts 8 while member 4 is moving to the appropriate position between a pair of contacts 1 1 -9 1 , 0. When the key is released, gas under pressure enters chambers 5, 6, and as member 4 returns to the starting position, the continuity of conductor L 1 is interrupted a number of times depending on the key actuated. In another embodiment, the liquid is non-conductive and member 4 is conductive, causing bridging of successive pairs of parallel-connected contacts. Alternatively, member 4 may interrupt a conductive path between a pair of contacts and produce a single pulse of variable duration.

The path seeking apparatus of the parent Specification is modified as a result of a more economical expression of the logical functions employed; the logic circuits which examine path co-ordinates, in search of conflict between existing paths and proposed paths, are consequently simplified considerably.
