  • Patent number: 3953721
    Abstract: An analogue computer has two or more multiplication modules. Each module provides an output signal representing the product of the magnitude of an analogue input signal to the module and the factor represented by a common multiplier signal controlling the module. Output signals of two or more modules are combined to provide a composite signal. A comparator compares the composite signal with a reference level and adjusts the common multiplier signal so as to maintain the composite signal substantially equal to the reference level. Modules are connected in chains with the output of one module connected to the input of the next module in the chain. Output signals from the various modules represent terms in the polynominal expressions of equations which the computer can solve. Potentiometers allow these output signals to be scaled in accordance with the constant coefficients of the terms.
