Pulse rate multiplier for control system

Claim 1

IN COMBINATION, A COUNTER WHICH CYCLES AT A FREQUENCY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FREQUENCY OF A FIRST PULSE TRAIN APPLIED THERETO AND IN SYNCHRONISM WITH A SECOND PULSE TRAIN APPLIED THERETO, SAID SECOND PULSE TRAIN HAVING AT LEAST THE FREQUENCY OF SAID FIRST PULSE TRAIN, SAID COUNTER COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE DECADE, EACH DECADE COMPRISING A GIVEN NUMBER OF BISTABLE STAGES, EACH OF SAID STAGES HAVING FIRST CHOSEN DISCRETE WEIGHTINGS, A REGISTER ADAPTED TO HAVE A NUMERICAL SETTING STORED THEREIN AND COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE DECADE, EACH OF SAID REGISTER DECADES COMPRISING SAID GIVEN NUMBER OF BISTABLE STAGES, EACH OF SAID REGISTER STAGES HAVING SECOND CHOSEN DISCRETE WEIGHTINGS A PLURALITY OF GATING MEANS EQUAL IN NUMBER TO THE NUMBER OF DECADES, EACH OF SAID GATING MEANS COMPRISING A NUMBER OF AND GATES EQUAL TO SAID GIVEN NUMBER, EACH OF SAID GATES BEING SUBSTANTIALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A STAGE OF SAID REGISTER, MEANS TO CONNECT ONE INPUT OF EACH AND GATE TO SENSE THE STAIC CONDITION OF THE CORRESPONDING BISTABLE STAGE OF SAID REGISTER, MEANS TO CONNECT OTHER INPUTS OF EACH AND GATE TO SENSE THE STATIC CONDITION OF AT LEAST TWO OF SAID BISTABLE STAGES OF SAID COUNTER, SAID GATES BEING ENABLED IN RESPONSE TO SENSING COINCIDENCE OF LIKE STATIC CONDITIONS, MEANS TO APPLY SAID SECOND PULSE TRAIN TO EACH OF SAID GATES SO AS TO OPERATE THE ENABLED GATES IN SYNCHRONISM WITH SAID SECOND PULSE TRAIN UNDER CONTROL OF THE INFORMATION IN SAID REGISTER SO THAT ECH GATE WILL PROVIDE IN RESPONSE TO ONE COMPLETE CYCLE OF THE DECADE OF THE COUNTER A TRAIN OF PULSES EQUAL IN NUMBER TO THE WEIGHTING OF THE CORRESPONDING STAGE OF SAID REGISTER AND MEANS FOR COMBINING THE OUTPUTS OF ALL SAID GATES TO PRODUCE AN OUTPUT PULSE TRAIN HAVING FREQUENCY EQUAL TO THE FREQUENCY OF SAID FIRST PULSE TRAIN MULTIPLIED BY THE RATIO OF THE NUMBER OF THE SETTING IN SAID REGISTER TO THE AMOUNT OF PULSES IN SAID FIRST PULSE TRAIN APPLIED TO SAID COUNTER DURING ONE CYCLE OF SAIC COUNTER.
