Bi-quinary counter with recirculating delay lines

Claim 1

IN A DEVICE FOR ACCUMULATING DATA IN THE FORM OF PULSES PER UNIT TIME, EACH PULSE REPRESENTING A UNIT OF DATA, THE COMBINATION COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF RECIRCULATING STORAGE DEVICES, EACH DEVICE BEING DIVIDED INTO A PLURALITY OF WORD SECTIONS, AND EACH WORD SECTION BEING DIVIDED INTO A PLURALITY OF BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS, FIRST MEANS FOR GENERATING A FIRST SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSED CONNECTED TO SAID STORAGE DEVICES FOR SYNCHRONIZING THE STORE AND READ OPERATIONS OF SAID STORAGE DEVICE IN PARALLEL BY BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS, A GROUP OF BINARY SIGNALS READ IN PARALLEL FROM BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS COMPRISING A CHARACTER, SECOND MEANS FOR GENERATING A SECOND SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES, ONE CYCLE OF SUCH CLOCK PULSES FOR EACH PULSE OF SAID FIRST SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSED CONNECTED TO SAID STORAGE DEVICES FOR SYNCHRONIZING THE STORE AND READ OPERATIONS OF SAID STORAGE DEVICES IN SERIES BY BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS, A SEQUENCE OF CHARACTERS BEING READ FRO A WORD SECTION COMPRISING A NUMBER, THE FIRST CHARACTER REPRESENTING THE LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT THEREOF, AND THE LAST CHARACTER REPRESENTING THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT THEREOF, AN ADDER CONNECTED TO SAID RECIRCULATING STORAGE DEVICES TO ADD AT LEAST A UNIT TO THE CONTENTS OF THE FIRST BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS OF A GIVEN WORD SECTION UNDER THE SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL OF THE FIRST ONE OF SAID SECOND SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES AND A SELECTED ONE OF SAID FIRST SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES, AND TO ADD A CARRY PROPAGATED FROM ONE GROUP OF BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS OF THE SELECTED WORD TO THE NEXT UNDER THE SYNCHRONOUS CONTROL OF SUBSEQUENT ONES OF SAID SECOND SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PREDETERMINED BINARY CODE BY WHICH SAID CHARACTERS ARE REPRESENTED, A TIME BASE GENERATING MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID RECIRCULATING STORAGE DEVICE FOR ACCUMULATING A FIRST ONE OF SAID SECOND SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES UNDER THE CONTROL OF A PREDETERMINED ONE OF SAID FIRST SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES IN A PREDETERMINED ONE OF SAID WORD SECTIONS, A TIME BASE SELECTOR FOR DETECTING A CARRY PROPAGATED FROM ONE PARALLEL GROUP OF BINARY STORAGE SEGMENTS OF THE PREDETERMINED WORD SECTION TO THE NEXT UNDER THE CONTROL OF A SELECTED ONE OF SAID SECOND SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES AND THE PREDETERMINED ONE OF SAID FIRST SEQUENCE OF CYCLIC CLOCK PULSES,
