Abstract: This invention relates to a method of testing an n-bit programmable counter. It is desired to test the n-bit programmable counter in fewer than 2.sup.n cycles. Accordingly, a counter value output on the counter is coupled to a variable increment rate input on the counter. Each bit of the counter is reset to a binary 0 initial state. A binary 1 state is loaded into a carry-in bit of the counter and the counter is iteratively doubled, by means of the coupling between the counter value output and the variable increment rate input, until a carry-out bit of the counter assumes the binary 1 state to thereby allow the counter to be fully tested in n+1 iterations. The counter value output and the variable increment rate input are decoupled from the counter when the counter is not being tested. The counter is provided with a parallel load input to allow simultaneous resetting of each bit. Intermediate counter values may be checked to provide a means for localizing errors within the counter.

Abstract: A developing device for the dry development of exposed photosensitive material, e.g. blueprint paper, by a gas or vapor developer comprises a housing formed with shielding chambers which prevent the escape of the vapor into the environment. According to the invention, a pair of shielding chambers are provided at the inlet and outlet sides of the developing chamber and each is subdivided, in the direction of movement of the sheet, into at least two compartments, preferably with flexible wall members which form a lip seal with a surface over which the sheet is intended to ride. The compartments are evacuated.
