Abstract: A programmable, sequential logic array for performing logical operations within a memory array, including an input storage array having addressable locations for storing input control words, input means for receiving a plurality of input signals and control words from the input storage array and producing signals indicating the relationship between conditions of the input signals and conditions represented by the control words, output means for providing binary output signals, an output storage array having addressable locations for storing output control words for controlling a state of the output means, a next address storage array for identifying a next address from one of a plurality of fields within the next address array, address generation means for receiving address signals from the next address storage array and for applying the address signals to address circuits of the input storage array, the output storage array, and the next address storage array, coding means for coding status of lines comprisi

Abstract: Apparatus and method for converting image data of an image matrix to an image matrix having a different number of matrix points. Each new image pel has a gray scale determined by considering its position with respect to the nearest neighbors of an original image pel. A look up table is provided having a plurality of planes, each plane including a plurality of storage elements arranged in columns and rows. The storage elements contain the gray scale level of a new image pel. The look up table plane represents the gray scale levels for a plurality of positions within the neighborhood. The planes are addressed by the gray scale levels of the pels comprising the neighborhood, and the storage elements within a plane are addressed by the position of the new pel with respect to the neighbors.

Abstract: Operation of an AC plasma display panel requires the three control operations of write, erase, and sustain. Sustain, write and erase signals are stored in a plurality of sections in a storage device and the sections are selectively accessed according to the specific operation to be provided to the plasma panel display. Switching between the sections in the storage device is accomplished without signal discontinuity in the sustain, write, and erase signals used to drive the illuminable cells. The sustain operation is recycled during those periods when no write or erase operation is being done.

Abstract: A pressure relief panel for an aircraft powerplant comprises a carbon disc designed to fragment when the pressure difference across it reaches a pre-determined level. The panel is designed to totally enclose the disc and has two walls one of which is dished to form the enclosure the other of which is shaped to form a smooth continuation of the powerplant outer surface. The walls are apertured to expose the disc to both ambient pressure and the pressure in the interior of the powerplant wall, the apertures having a total area sufficient to allow passage therethrough of the flow from any of the fluid-carrying pipes within the wall should a leak or breakage occur, but the individual apertures each having an area sufficiently small to prevent escape from the enclosure of potentially dangerous pieces of the disc.
