Abstract:
An error detection system of n inputs is adaptable for fabrication in large scale integrated circuit form. An integrated circuit logic array provides a parity check in response to digital signals received via X and Y decoders. Reduction in the number of array cells and the X and Y driving decoder circuits is obtained by interconnecting even parity subgroups and odd parity subgroups of lines from the X and Y decoders to provide even master parity lines and odd master parity lines. A logic array having less than 2n operative cells compares the signals on the master lines and generates an error parity signal.
Abstract:
A monolithic circuit bit partitioned computer system for processing M bits of data comprising a substrate for providing electrical interconnection paths to a plurality of M monolithic circuit modules. Each of the M modules includes distinct decoder means, memory means, elemental quasi-arithmetic means and control circuitry, and each of the M modules are uniquely associated with the distinct ones of the M bits of data for collectively and universally processing the M bits of data.
Abstract:
A memory correcting system in accordance with this disclosure is an integral part of a digital electronic computer having a monolithic memory. The memory correcting system detects, records and analyzes errors occurring during normal operation of the computer. Also, the memory correcting system systematically addresses the monolithic memory on a cycle stealing basis monitoring the general health of the monolithic memory. The systematic reading and writing of all monolithic memory locations prevents the accumulating effects of random errors. By detecting single errors as rapidly as possible, the probability of acquiring additional errors that are above the correcting capabilities of the redundancy code are avoided.
Abstract:
Disclosed is apparatus in a computer for selecting the usage of functionally severable parts of the computer, for example, the amount of memory used by a computer having a plurality of memory partitions and an operating program such as the IBM OS/360 supervisor program for determining the allocation and activation of memory space. In the example given the apparatus includes an added register having a plurality of latches linking the ALU output bus to control by enabling or disabling selectively one or more memory partitions in accordance with usage dictated by the operating system program since the register contents are changeable only when the system is in the supervisor state. A meter is coupled to the memories to indicate elapsed time of use of the memory partitions so as to permit charging of a customer based upon usage. The purpose of this abstract is to enable the public and the Patent Office to determine rapidly the subject matter of the technical disclosure of the application. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope thereof.

Abstract:
The disclosures describes a transistor storage cell operable both as a random access read/write memory cell or as a read only memory cell. The memory cell structure includes a bistable circuit adapted to be set into one of two stable conditions and an imbalancing means for providing structural asymmetry. The memory cell is operable either as a read/write cell or, by accessing the cell through the imbalancing means, the latent image provided by the structural asymmetry of the cell is read out without affecting the information contained in the cell from the read/write mode of operation.
Abstract:
A latent image memory is selectively operable as either a readwrite memory or a read-only memory. The memory comprises an array of cells each preferably consisting of a single active device. A first set of the cells are each adapted to store either one of two binary digits. A second set of the cells are each responsive to a first condition for storing either one of two binary digits and responsive to a second condition for storing only a single predetermined binary digit. Means are provided for selecting either the first condition to render the array operable as a read-write memory, or the second condition to render the array operable as a read-only memory. Each of the cells of the first set preferably comprises a field-effect transistor connected to a capacitor, and each of the cells of the second set preferably comprises a charge-coupled device.
