Abstract: Score inputs are provided from remote locations from a number of judges who individually score the contestants. A central operator at a control console enters for each event the position, degree of difficulty and athlete identification numbers. In accordance with the particular sport being scored, the calculator portion of the system is operable to sum the judges' scores, multiply them by the degree of difficulty, or sum the judges' scores and subtracting high and low scores and then multiplying by the degree of difficulty. A still further programmed arrangement possible with the system is the summation of the judges' scores, subtracting of high and low scores, multiplication by a weighting factor and finally multiplying by a degree of difficulty factor. The system is readily adaptable to a number of different sports having the requirement for a variety of scoring setups, particularly for diving, synchronized swimming, gymnastics and figure skating.

Abstract: An automotive control system utilizes a pulse-generating circuit driven as a function of wheel angular velocity to produce electrical signals related to vehicle wheel rotation. The signals are shaped, filtered and passed to associated equipment, such as regulated braking circuits, to perform the regulating function. The frequency doubling circuit is provided to accommodate different sensing systems which produce fewer output signals for a given angular displacement of a vehicle wheel.
