Binary digital number storing and accumulating apparatus

Claim 1

BINARY DIGITAL NUMBER STORING AND ACCUMULATING APPARATUS INCLUDING A MATRIX OF RECTANGULAR-HYSTERESISLOOP MAGNETIC CORES CAPABLE OF BEING SET IN EITHER ONE OF TWO OPPOSITE STATES OF MAGNETIC SATURATION TO INDICATE A FIRST BINARY DIGIT STORES OR A SECOND BINARY DIGIT STORED RESPECTIVELY, THE MATRIX CONTAINING FOR EACH NUMBER TO BE STORED A ROW OF MAGNETIC CORES, EACH CORE IN A ROW CORRESPONDING TO A DIFFERENT ORDER DIGIT OF THE NUMBER; THE CORES IN RESPECTIVE ROWS IN THE MATRIX HAVING ROWWRITE WINDINGS CONNECTED IN SERIES IN A LIKE SENSE, AND ALSO HAVING ROW-READ-OUT WINDINGS CONNECTED IN SERIES IN A LIKE SENSE; MATRIX CORES CORRESPONDING TO THE SAME ORDER DIGIT IN THE SEVERAL ROWS ARRANGED IN RESPECTIVE COLUMNS, THE MATRIX CORES IN THE RESPECTIVE COLUMNS HAVING A COLUMNWRITE WINDINGS CONNECTED IN SERIES IN A LIKE SENSE, AND ALSO HAVING OUTPUT-WINDINGS CONNECTED IN SERIES IN A LIKE SENSE; FIRST AND SECOND TWO-CONDTION DEVICES OPERATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH RESPECTIVE MATRIX COLUMNS, MEANS FOR APPLYING A PULSE TO ALL THE FIRST AND SECOND DEVICES AT A FIRST PULSE TIME TO SET THOSE DEVICES IN A FIRST OF THE TWO CONDITIONS; THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH TWO-CONDITION DEVICES OPERATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH RESPECTIVE MATRIX COLUMNS, MEANS FOR APPLYING A PULSE TO AL THE THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH DEVICES AT THE FIRST PULSE TIME FOR SETTING THOSE DEVICES IN THE FIRST OF THE TWO CONDITIONS WHEN A UNIT IS TO BE ADDED TO A NUMBER STORED IN A PARTICULAR MATRIX ROW, AND MEANS FOR APPLYING A PULSE TO ALL THE THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH DEVICES AT THE FIRST PULSE TIME TO SET ALL THOSE DEVICES IN THE SECOND OF THE TWO CONDITIONS WHEN ZERO IS TO BE ADDED TO THE NUMBER STORED IN A MATRIX ROW; MEANS FOR APPLICATION TO THE ROW-READ-OUT WINDINGS OF A MATRIX ROW AT A SECOND PULSE TIME OF A READ-OUT PULSE INDIVIDUAL TO THAT ROW FOR SWITCHING TO AN OPPOSITE STATE THOSE CORES IN THE ROW WHICH ARE IN A PREDETERMINED ONE OF THE TWO STATE OF MAGNETIC SATURATION TO PRODUCE A PULSE IN THE OUTPUT WINDINGS OF ANY CORES SO SWITCHED, MEANS FOR MONITORING THE ELECTRIAL CONDITION FO THE OUTPUT WINDINGS TO PROVIDE AN ANALOGUE OF THE NUMBER STORED IN A PARTICULAR MATRIX ROW TO WHICH A READ-OUT PULSE IS BEING APPLIED, MEANS FOR CHANGING FROM THE FIRST CONDITION TO THE SECOND CONDITION THOSE FIRST AND SECOND DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH MATRIX CORES OF THAT ROW WHICH WERE SWITCHED BY THE READOUT PULSE AND FOR CHANGING THOSE THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH MATRIX CORES OF THAT ROW CORRESONDING TO DIGITS OF A HIGHER ORDER THAN IN ANY CORE OF THAT MATRIX ROW WHICH WAS SWITCHED BY THE READOUT PULSE TO BE CHANGED TO THE SECOND CONDITION IF THOSE DEVICES ARE NOT ALREADY IN THAT CONDITION, MEANS FOR CHANGING, AT A THIRD PULSE TIME, THE CONDITION OF ANY FOURTH DEVICE IN THE FIRST CONDITION AND ANY FIFTH DEVICE IN THE SECOND CONDITION, WHEREBY CHANGE OF ANY FOURTH DEVICE TO THE SECOND CONDITION AT THE THIRD PULSE TIME CAUSES ITS ASSOCIATED CORE IN THAT MATRIX ROW TO BE SWITCHED TO THE SAID PREDETERMINED STATE ONLY IF THE SECOND DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT RAW CORE IS IN THE FIRST CONDITION AND IF A ROW-WRITE IS APPLIED TO THE ROW-WRITE WINDINGS OF THAT MATRIX ROW AT THE THIRD PULSE TIME, AND WHEREBY CHANGE OF ANY FIFTH DEVICE TO THE FIRST CONDITION, AT THE THIRD PULSE TIME, CAUSES ITS ASSOCIATED CORE IN THAT MATRIX ROW TO BE SWITCHED TO THE SAID PREDETERMINED STATE ONLY IF THE FIRST DEVICE ASSOICATED WITH THAT CORE IS IN THE SECOND CONDITION, AND IF A ROW-WRITE PULSE IS APPLIED TO THE ROW-WRITE WINDINGS OF THAT MATRIX ROW AT THE THIRD PULSE TIME.
