    Abstract: A timer circuit includes a counter circuit that continuously provides an output of an iteratively increasing sequence of bits. The timer includes a timeout data circuit that forms a timeout data word from a specified time period and a first counter circuit output. A register is provided that stores the timeout data word at an address formed from a second counter circuit output. A comparison circuit is provided that compares each counter output with a timeout data word at the address formed from that counter output and provides a timeout signal when they are equal. This timer includes a constantly incrementing counter to address a register that includes a multiple of timeout condition specifications, and as a determination of when the timeout conditions stored in the register occur.

    Abstract: As the speed and capacity of graphics workstations and personal computers including graphics adapters increases, a display adapter which can be used either in such a high capacity stand alone graphics workstation or in conjunction with a large main frame host computer includes a first processor for managing adapter resources and controlling coordinate transformations; a system storage for storing instructions and data representing information to be displayed; a first-in, first-out input buffer for allowing asynchronous and overlapped communication between the graphics system and a host computer;a second processor for drawing vectors and manipulating areas to be displayed on the monitor;a frame buffer connected to the second processor for storing a bit map of data to be displayed; a colour palette connected to outputs of the frame buffer for providing appropriate colour signals to the monitor; and a hardware cursor circuit for controlling display of a cursor on the monitor.
